Hey guys, has anyone else had the problem of consistently hitting low line drives with the driver? Sometimes the ball is a super stinger that rides the blades of the grass 2 inches off the ground like a maglev train for like 175 yards.
Any thoughts on what typically causes this?

@Tom Saguto I do not have the textbook, but I have thought about purchasing a copy. I do see there is a PDF online for the time being.
Thanks for this Tom I will try to identify through my own analysis.. but I'm inching closer and closer to the V1... almost there.
@joey puvel - Generally speaking, when the ball flight is too low it is a result of swinging across the ball. Do you have a copy of the Stack and Tilt book? If so, there are several pages specific to this in the Fixing Common Faults chapter. I'll summarize the potential causes, and then through self-analysis and video you can work to pinpoint your culprit:
1) Ball position too far forward.
2) Weight too far back (you should start with 60% forward at address with the longer clubs, be at 70% at the top, 80% forward halfway down, and 90% at impact).
3) Rolling the wrists through impact.
4) Insufficient inward hand path in the backswing, which then encourages an out-to-in downswing path.
5) Lead knee straightening to soon in the downswing, causing the hips to spin open and reroute the club to the outside.
Once you have identified the cause you can then work through the appropriate fixes provided in the school.
