I need to hit the ball longer. I have a swing speed of about 113-115, I can compress the ball but i feel like it goes much to high. On windy days, which has been almost everyday for the past month here in GA, hitting the ball this high ruins my rounds. How can I lower my ball flight a little bit so I can hit it longer?

I am no expert at all, and someone can tell me if I have no idea what I am talking about, but off the tee to keep my ball flight down,  I will move the ball a bit back in my stance(probably about where I play my 4 iron), I will tee the ball a little lower, and last I will set up with my shoulders a bit more level than usual(not having my right shoulder dropped as far as normal)  That is what works for me.  Again I am no expert, and I also dont have a swing speed of 114.  Good luck.

Hopefully I'm better tomorrow

You probably have a very high negative angle of attack into the ball with the driver, this drives up spin loft. The height of the golf ball is dictated by both launch angle and spin.

Get the swing shallower, put the ball forward in your stance more so your hitting with a slightly upward attack angle.

1. Post your swing so the experts can help you out.

2. Do you have access to a launch monitor where you can hit some shots and get some data on your swing?  Maybe you need an other shaft, or less loft, or both.

    • Day 297: putted for about 25 minutes, working on 30 foot putts. Then went and hit balls for about an hour, just focused on getting the ball to go where I want it. Not my best session, but figured it out better at the end. 
    • I do use a 7 wood. Love it! Do have a specific question about 7 woods?
    • @DrizZzY does. 😄 
    • does anybody still use a 7 wood? if not what do you use instead>  
    • Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.
