I have a 10 degree driver with a stiff shaft. I hear that you should try to hit the ball with the top of the driver face to get low back spin. The only problem with that is, the higher I tee the ball and the farther foward in my stance I put the ball, the higher I hit it. The trajectory of the ball seems to be more of a traingle that climbs and goes far, then just drops like it hit and invisable wall istead of a nice parabolic line of flight the pros get. Is my loft too high, or my shaft not stiff enough?

Hi there,

To hit the top of the face you need the opposite to what you are doing..............Tee the ball so that just half the ball is visble from behind, you may like to get a buddy to hold your club while you check for yourself to get a feel for the right tee height...............................you will think its miles to low........................but it isn't.

Hope this helps

ian.
