Welcome to this great forum community, @Stace Brad!!
Contact low on the face is oftentimes a result of the low point shifting back. We need to keep the hips sliding laterally towards the target during the downswing through impact. Our weight should be approximately 80/20 in favor of the lead side halfway down, and 90/10 through the zone. Other things to consider are:
- Is the lead leg straightening too soon in the downswing, causing the hips to spin open?
- Is the trail leg flexing too much during the downswing, causing the shoulder center to shift back?
- Are you trying to hit up on the ball with the driver?
You should find some helpful content in the Downswing section of Fixing Common Swing Problems. Also, Drill 2.8 in Golf Swing Simplified and the 90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight Drill in Get Out and Go Play.
That ball position is quite forward. The stock position for the driver is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot. This presets just a little bit of forward shaft lean - negligible to the eye, but it's still there since the low point is directly under the lead shoulder. With this position your angle of attack should feel level but will in fact be ever so slightly down. (The Tour average with the driver is actually minus - e.g.: downward - 1.5 degrees.)
So hopefully your fix lies somewhere between that lesson (and the included drill) and the other information provided here in response to your question.
Awesome Video Tom I am possibly to shallow or trying to swing up. I will try staggerig my stance to see if that will solve my issue. Thanks for the help

Question, ball position in stance, tee height? Where are you in reference to this program?
