I'm happy how far I can hit my driver to nearly 300 but I'm not happy with the trajectory. The ball fly's at very low altitude which is fine on a flat course but sucks if I'm driving up a slope. It's a 12 degree 340cc Rave Hawk with a short shaft. I wasn't hitting my 454cc driver very well and my club was originally my fathers and he wasn't hitting his very well. We swapped clubs and he liked mine better and I liked his better so we traded. I'm 6'5 and he's 6'1 and it was about 2-3 inches shorter than a normal driver shaft and about 4-5 inches shorter than my original club I traded to him. Could it be as simple as club length? What are some other ideas to get the ball higher? The club get's alot of comments usually "Holy Sh&&!" and they want to try, but I need to make it go uphill.

Maybe use a higher lofted driver. Use a ball designed to give you higher trajectory. Tee the ball a half inch higher. Change the ball position in your stance. Just some quick thoughts.

Well there are a few things that could be giving you the low trajectory.

First there's your swing. without seeing it i can't really tell you if it's a factor or not, but some swings naturally yield a low ball flight, especially if you tend to hit more down on the ball with the driver instead of a sweep/upswing.

Second. Loft. obviously if you're using a 12 degree driver it's not an issue. Remember there's Bulge and Roll on the face. That means if you hit the ball lower on the face, you'll have a lower trajectory if you hit it in the middle. Likewise, if you hit the ball higher on the face, you'll have a higher trajectory than middle.

Third. Shaft. Do some perusing in "the wedge guy" area of the site and come across his articles on the shaft as the transmission of the golf swing. When you swing, the shaft has to impart your power and energy onto the ball. If the shaft is not unloading at the right time or in the right way, your trajectory will be off. There are mid kick, high kick and low kick shafts available. Trajectory is opposite the "kick" - i.e. high kick shafts have a lower trajectory, and Low kick have higher. Take stock of what you have on the driver and see if you can have a conversation with your local pro to decide what's right for you. If you're playing a 12 degree driver and hitting it over 300 though, i wouldn't be messing with it too much, nomatter how high or low it goes. I'd take that any day.

You are hitting the driver 300 or so...??...and upset with the trajectory....

if it were me, I'd focus on something else to correct....
