Was at the range today, kept hitting the driver on a low-ish trajectory.

tinkered with tee height, grip, and ball position (higher, weaker, further forward, resp.) and BLAMMO! trajectory improved, carry lengthened by ~30 yards.

Similar experiences?

I just found some Brush Tees on clearance and thought I would give them a try to help ensure a consistent teeing height. I have only played nine holes so far, but I was happy with the trajectory of my drives.

i had kind of a similar experience except i just shifted my wait more towards my back foot(my right foot since i'm a righty) and my ball flight went higher and was carrying it atleast 30 yards further and the balls were going straighter.

Yea that happened with me too sasquatch. I started shifting a little bit more weight, and more dramatically, towards my right leg (righty), and the ball flew about 10-15 yards farther. I wouldn't go so far to say that it went 30 yards further, because we all know how good I am with distances ;)

But I did see a change in my distance. Try this if you like, but don't over-do it because it will just become inconsistent and you will start hitting stray shots.

Went out for a "fun" 9 holes after work today just to work on a few things (after a terrible round on Sunday). Decided not to count the round for handicap purposes before getting started so I could try a few things and even hit multiple shots from the same location. There were a few things I was pretty sure I was doing wrong with my swing so I wanted to try some things to fix them. The two issues I felt I was having was not properly rotating my hips and getting my club face too open on the back swing. The latter issue has been leading to my slices and pushes I'm pretty sure.

So today I focused on making a good turn, especially with the driver, and keeping the clubface square on takeaway, especially with the irons. I think I was pretty successful...hit a lot of good shots and got the distance back in my driver that I felt I had lost this year (hit a good 265 yard carry on one hole with no help from the wind). Hit quite a few pulls with both the irons and driver, but I chalked those up to not trusting the swing and following through properly...still scared of losing it right. The positive thing is I didn't push or slice one ball all day. Hopefully I can build on this next round and finally get my game closer to where I want it. I think the iron shot I hit pin high to about 1.5 feet on a par 3 was enough to keep me coming back for more ;).
