im hitting the ball much straighter recently, but i'm still hitting it awfully low even when i make fairly solid contact. any advice to hitting it higher?

Im obvioulsy not the best golfer but sometimes when i'm at the range, i just vary where i put the ball in my stance. At times it will go higher when its closer to my front foot and likewise for the back. Im not sure really but perhaps you could try that.
I also recently attempted putting the ball closer to the shaft side of the face and that seemed to get me more height..

Just a few things i have been messing around with...

I find that i hit the ball higher if i tilt my spine slightly to the right and stay behind the ball at address (as a right hander). Likewise, if I tilt the opposite way i hit more down on the ball and get a lower trajectory... this might work for me but it's always different with everyone else so give it shot to see if it helps. It's always best to try many different things to see what works for you. Hope that helps!

First check ball position, second make sure you aren't sliding instead of turning which delofts the club, and finally make sure that arms are relaxed so that your back arm is fully extended by the time the clubface is 6-8 inches beyond the ball.

Come down on the ball with a steeper attack angle, perhaps by moving the ball slightly more towards your back foot in the stance.

Actually this will produce a much lower ball flight, you want to hit it with more of a sweep, with the club head slightly on the way up.

Here's what I play:

No, this is a cardinal sin. Do not hit up on the ball,

ever . Except in special circumstances, such as a driver on a tee.

If your hitting the ball well dont worry about it. if not go to a pro and get proper advice to match your swing. if you change something in your swing you mightaffect your accuracy or consistency. If your hitting fairways and hitting greens just relax go play golf

Are you hitting the center of your club? Try putting tape on your club face and hit a ball. Maybe you are hitting the ball thin. The tape will tell you where you are making contact. If you hit the ball in the center of your club the ball should have a nice trajectory with height.

Does your pitching wedge fly low?

If you are hitting thin you need to check you swing.

It could be any number of things. What shafts and flex do you play? Are your shafts too stiff? If not, then what do your divots look like? Do you take a divot?

Are you swinging on too flat a plane? A flat plane makes the ball fly lower too. As you can see there are a number of variables. To make the ball go up, you need to hit down!

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.

      Winter Depression Thread

      Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.
