1. Are you using a one piece take-away when you take the club back... not breaking your wrists until the club is above parallel?

2. Try putting a tee in the ground, leaving 1/2 inch exposed, 4-6 inches behind the ball AND 4-6 inches in front of the ball.... when you swing AT the ball, concentrate on trying to extend your swing through that hitting area, clipping all three tees. This wil flatten your swing and help generate power through the hitting area.

^ ... oh great ... now you've just thoroughly confused him ... LOL

Thanks for the tips guys...will go to the driving range today and try all these things in hopes of getting my launch angle to a reasonable angle...

Wheel...yaup, that is what i want to do...read about taking club back 1/4 and bringing forward 1/4 to get the feel of the rotation rather then of smacking the ball...

CBC812...yaup, that is exactly what i am thinking...going to throw me off but gots to do it...tired of the ballooning ball flight and i know its costing me yards...

xddco...again will try this as well...sad thing is i know what i want to do...but when i address the ball, mentally its hard for me to do that...but will try...

^ Skipper has mentioned some valid points. Along the lines of his 1st point: Make sure that your leading wrist is flat @ impact. Also, maybe flattening out your shoulders @ address(parallel with the ground as opposed to a lower trailing shoulder).

Besides being a firm shaft, what was the kick point on it? Maybe you need to try a mid to high kick point shaft with a stiffer tip.
