Answer
Scott,There are lots of reaons this can happen. The main thing that causes this,is because the club head is delofted at impact.This could be #1 you are playing the ball to far back in your stance. #2 your hands may be to far ahead at address. #3you may not be extending down the line after impact, with a complete follow through.
Answer
Sounds like the ball is to far back in your stance.....try placing the ball more forward towards your front foot in your stance.
Answer
While stance and ball placement are obviously important, another reason is that traditional drivers have very low loft. They are designed for pros to get their endorsements.
But the majority of us don't seing like those guys, and it doesn't make sense that we should use the same equipment.
We need higher loft. That's why so many people can crush the ball with their 3-wood.
There's a new manufacturer on the scene that introduced a high-loft driver at this year's PGA show. I was there, and they blew away the competition at the demo day.
They call it "BIG STIK" and it has the loft of a 3-wood but is the size and length of a driver. So you gain the benefits of the higher loft, but don't give up the large sweet spot or club-head speed.
It is made specifically for average players. They don't go for pro endorsements because they don't design clubs for pros.
They have a lot of lab and launch-monitor testing, and a bunch of impressive reports by local pros and others at their website (www.bigstik.com).
It's worth a look.
Good Luck.
