Low Driver Swing

If you visit the Stack and Tilt website they have a Find an Instructor page where you can search for one geographically.

Thanks for the additional information, Kelly.

Assuming you are hitting your other clubs generally well, this type of ball flight issue with the driver is oftentimes a result of swinging across the ball, and usually the cause is one of the following:

1) Our hips are prematurely stopping their lateral slide in the downswing. This occurs most frequently with the longer clubs as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, changing the low point, rerouting the club, and producing a variety of undesirable results. Here is a drill from the Fixing Common Swing Problems section specific to building in more lateral hip slide in the downswing.

2) We are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft length of the longer clubs encourages more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as you take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as you maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around you, it should put you in the proper position at the top so you can attack the ball from the inside. Last week's KFC Club member video can help you with this

This is a common issue that I am regularly asked to fix, so if yours doesn't relate to any of the above causes - or if it does and you are experiencing difficulty resolving it - we can always arrange for an online lesson or a V1 swing video analysis to pinpoint the culprit and offer an appropriate solution.
