Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Self analyse to work out why the ball flies high.Video tape your swing at the driving rangeAlso, sprinkle flour or chalk on your ball in practise to see where it contacts the club head (wipe the club head after each swing)If the ball connects high on the club face, you may need the ball further forward (level with your inside heel)

A few simple suggestions…move the ball back in your stance so you're not creating loft by hitting it on the upswing. Also look into teeing your ball a little lower. If you start your backswing with a small forward press you'll create a little bit of natual deloft …BUT, the theory of using a lower lofted driver or hitting on a lower trajectory to increase distance due to roll out is not always true. There's that magic ratio between launch angle and spin rate on a higher lofted driver that can qctually gain you more distance. Obviously playing a lower flight has its advantages on windy days or course with dried out fairways or courses that have flat fairways, but if you're hitting it out there 280 now, you're no slouch.

You say you now drive "maybe 250 – 280" (yards). You don't say that your drive flies left or right, just that it goes high! So what's the real problem – are you trying for even more distance, greater accuracy, perhaps both? Since you obviously have a good technique already, what makes you think that hitting it lower will give you more distance? Have you considered why tour players are all hitting it higher to get more distance?With your existing ability, before doing anything suggested by people who haven't ever seen you play, my sincere recommendation is to go take advice from a good Pro. Be careful about tinkering on your own, because a small change to your existing "swing, body, posture, tee height" could easily wreck everything you already have. Only make changes after a Pro has watched you and given you expert guidance on improvements that will help you. A small change will usually affect something else and you will need an expert there to watch you and show you what to do when that happens.I suggest you talk with your Pro about the "possible benefit" of having the ability to play a lower drive, e.g. in windy conditions. It is an additional skill that you could perhaps need occasionally, e.g. when the prime aim has to be to land in the fairway.Enjoy your Game!

You might need a stiff shaft if its only with your driver. If your hitting the ball that far and have a regular shaft, the ball will shoot up higher and probably go off line. If not, you could try any of these:teeing it lowerbending your knees moreholding your follow throughplaying the ball farther back in your stance Source(s): College Golfer

I know i hate that. I had that problem when i was a still getting used to it. It may take a little while of practice, but if you are able to train your body to hit lower. Lowering the tee does help! When I was starting out, I used to raise the tee too high and would drive it about 120 but extremely high! Source(s): experience

despite the urge to hit down on the ball more… that will only impart more spin on the ball, causing it to climb higher.The angle of attack actually has to be flattened out… this can be done by sliding your hips a bit (while still turning). This should put some draw spin on the ball (it does for me), so your swing should come a little bit more from the inside. Source(s): spent 3 hours on the range today if that counts for anything!

2 things. Drive the ball off your back foot by moving it back in your stance. That is one way. Or; flatten the circular arc of your swing to a more eliptical one, thereby driving the head of the club on a flatter plane through the ball. Source(s): Me, an old club maker.

Just leave the tee height and everything else the same but just play it further inside your stance.
