I think that has been part of the set back. I often realize that my should turn has been incomplete because my chin was in the way...all will be fixed in a couple of weeks!
What happens then?

Lenses? (a good idea)
Laser operation? (maybe - Tiger has done it)
Eye transplantation? (probably not - does it even exist as a possibility?)

Lens implants -- my eyes are too bad for lasik. So somewhere between laser and eye transplant.

I've worn hard contacts for 30+ years, but you make less tears as you get older, making hard contacts less comfortable. (I always say it's ironic that we make less tears as we get older, even though we have more to cry about! )

Pretty soon, pilot vision!

I struggled with this until I decided to hit up on the driver and now I've gained yardage and am hitting high low spin bombs.

Others may disagree, but I see nothing wrong with hitting up on the driver as long as you can maintain the flat left wrist.

My checklist is:

Ball position mid left foot
Head stationary well behind the ball
Right arm continually driving outward (though in the end upward)


Whenever I hit down with the driver I was hitting low spinners or high right cutting blocks.

Hitting up produces a high low spin bomb.

Towards to end of the season (Nov.), I was experimenting with hitting up as you describe and caught some very long drives.

Has anyone noticed how low pro's seem to tee the ball? Seems lower than half a ball above the driver face...

Do you produce a fade when hitting up on the driver as the ball is moved forward, a charateristic of hitting?
