I'm just wondering if there is any quick tips or fixes for my driver launching and flying maybe 2 feet off the ground. I've tried numerous things just curious if any of y'all have some tips. Thanks.

Not seeing your swing, it's difficult, but here's a simple quick fix to try. Tee the ball up further and play it more forward in your stance. Should promote you to swing up on the ball and get a higher launch.

I've been working on the same thing with my driver. I'm terrible all around with the driver, but my shot trajectory is even a little higher than I would like with my irons. This video helped illustrate to me how you can use the same swing but change some things to get your trajectory better with the driver. I'm sure more qualified people can give some advice, but this video is what I'm working on right now with my driver. Yet to be determined how much it helps me.

When you set-up and the ball is on the tee, are your hands in front of the ball?  If so, consider changing that set-up so that your hands are about the same as or even behind ball a bit.

Tee 'em high and let 'em fly!

I had that problem and pretty much resolved it by teeing the ball higher.  I think as a beginner I was nervous to hit the ground with the longer clubs, so I would tend to swing higher on the ball.  Especially with my driver.

Without seeing your swing, my first guess is that you're swaying which effectively moves the ball back in your stance. Do you also find you're losing the ball right more than you'd like?

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
