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 125: jam packed day, so only had time for a little putting on my mat. Worked on getting the handle slightly more upright at address primarily.
    • Day 309 - More of the same, grip/backswing/downswing rotation. This time with the Divot Board.
    • Day 50 - 2024-11-19 Hit about 20 balls focusing mostly on the backswing. That's going to be my November and December.
    • They need to do something to speed  up play. They could randomly  time  players. One  idea would  be  if a group gets  out  of  position they are disqualified. If its a group of  3 and  its  1 player playing like  molasses i can imagine an exciting interaction, lol
    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
