Question 374

How do I get lower ball flight and more distance?

From Polo:

I hit my offset 9 degree driver about 260 yards, but it is a high ball and I would like to keep the ball lower and get more distance.  If possible I don't want to make large changes to my current setup and swing, can you please make any suggestions?   I’m good but just not that good.

Change shafts on your driver.   A stiffer shaft will lower your ball flight.   Similarly, a more flexible shaft increases height of the ball.
