Yeah I've noticed that for a while now and wondered why.

Personally I like to set up with the ball in the middle of the clubface - looks right to me.

I also setup with the ball in the middle of the clubface, I have to have a solid visual before my backswing or else it just wont feel right.

Used to setup off the toe. Now the heel. Mainly due to the fact that the sweet spot in those drivers weren't/aren't in the exact centre of the clubface.

Binh.

I setup at the heel. Now if I could just hit it like Luke Donald.

Be careful of camera angles, they can distort this. At the range look at your ball and check your position with one eye open at a time. A lot of people suppress one eye or the other [kind of super dominant eye] and this can lead to your position not really being what you think it is.

I was working at our sister club when the Nationwide was there (Henrico County Open). And I was following one of my buddies Kip Henley (Big Break II winner) and one of his pairings hit a Clevand Hi-Bore off the deck on the tee box. I mean NO TEE or anything just dropped it and swung away. I can't remember his name but he was averaging 260-275yds or something crazy like that. It was amazing.

I hit the HiBore off the deck once. It took one swing and this was just as talk of the HiBore fairway woods were coming out. It convinced me that they were worth a look.

(And yes, even the shot off the deck went left. Everything with the HiBore went left on me.)
