yea I actually had the ball to far forward and was hitting the top of the ball. Swing was to flat from there and not hitting Down through the ball. Thanks for asking
I just read your other comment on this topic but will respond here.
Generally speaking when the ball flight is too low it is a result of swing 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.
@Bill Mo did you figure out the problem?
