Your chest is kinda of counter balanced by your butt (so to speak) so you are still centered. If you bend down you can not maintain that angle and many times will hit the ground...

I think this will help me not hit the ground. I am finally getting better at removing my arms from the equation. But during last weeks round I kept hitting the ground. And I think it's because my radius was changing. Thanks! Great Ross! I think this will help me not hit the ground. I am finally getting better at removing my arms from the equation.

You will hit up on it naturally while you just turn through. It is when you try to help with the hands that the trouble starts. Just keep you hands passive and allow your body to pull your arms and club along through to the finish. The ball will be long and roll. Please, if you have a problem, tell me and I will help you... fight the urge to move the ball back to fix your problem. That is trading problems...

I've always had a pretty centered ball position with driver, and hit down on it. Ive tried to put it up, but always seem to cut it, not pull or hook. I seem to gain accuracy as I move it back, but i will give it a go, with your advice. I appreciate it. Thanks. I’ve always had a pretty centered ball position with driver, and hit down on it.

It is either ball position (most likely) or your are using your hands and rolling the face open on the back swing and not getting it back to square. The ball position on driver should be about 4" out in front of your front foot so you can turn into it and hit up on it (with your turn not hands) in an ascending trajectory. This launches the ball and it will also roll when it lands. Most play driver too far back in their stance and use their flip to square the club or have to raise up as to not hit the ground. Now, once you have the ball out front it may get pulled or hook, THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE HANDS FLIPPING OR THE BODY STOPPING AND THE ARMS AND CLUB PASSING. Just keep your hands passive and keep turning. You want to feel the body turn pulls the arms and club back down in front of the body as you keep turning. No, flex is not the problem.

I swing about mid 90's. With this passive hand swing, would a regular flex assist in sqauring the face? I have a stiff flex in it, and have to "help it" a bit at the bottom to sqaure it. If i simply turn through, I start straight and then fade. Thanks Hi Ross,

Please keep me in mind if that happens and we'll look at your swing and find the cause. It is usually just hands opening the face or the arms and club getting stuck behind you.
