Driver head setup

Does anyone have an opinion on where the driver head should be at adress? Last night at the range a guy told me I should not have the clubhead against the ball at adress, but about a full clubhead away from the ball. Tried it but it feels awkward to me

I don't know if it is correct, but it works for me.... I position the driver in the middle of my stance just as if I was hitting an iron. It helps me to swing through the ball and not at it.

I have some distance between the driver head, and the ball. I have my driver in the middle of my address position, and the ball is positioned even with my big toe. I know that seems like a lot, but that is what it takes for me to keep my drives in play. GJS

This is my set up when driving.

!) I tee up the ball high oppersite my front big toe ( This is to encourage an upward sweep).
2) I then move my back foot away so that my instep is under my shoulder.
3) Present the club face towards the ball with my hands behind. My left shoulder is dipped but still in line of target.
4) I place a bit more weight on my back foot than the front.

Hope it helps

Cheers

I place my ball half the diameter above the driver face. The I step in with my right foot, then place my left foot just past the teed ball. Then I drop my right foot back about an inch or two. Right shoulder must be lower than the left. And remember where your head is positioned is where the low point of your swing is.
Hope this helps.

I recently purchased a Nike Sasquatch 9.5, my old driver was a Ignite 10.5 and I never had any problems getting the ball in the air. With this 9.5 head it seemed like I just couldnt get any air, every drive was a line drive. I was hitting good distance (240) but just couldnt get the ball in the air. So I read the post in this thread regarding addressing the club head in the middle of my stance and placing the ball at my left heel in order to make sure I would swing through and hit the ball on the up swing. What a difference! At first it seemed awkward but after I hit a few I got more confidence and I was hitting the ball past the 250 mark with another 10 or more yards of roll. Iv'e never hit the ball that far before. I wrote in another post that I was having problems hitting the sweet spot of my club face but this technique has taken care of that. Thanks for the advise.
