AboutDathaeus Expertise If you want to become a better golfer at any level, feel free to ask me. This may involve hitting with more power, consistency, maintaining effective practice sessions, and learn swing mechanics, etc... I do not study much about the technical aspects of golf equipment and it is hard to suggest the right equipment for you without knowing your game. I would suggest you go demo a few clubs and read up on reviews from various web sites for that, and when you have narrowed down your choice, then I will be glad to help you choose. So if you want to play better golf and need online instruction, I can answer to your satisfaction. Feel free to also post up a video as many others are already doing and I will be glad to take a look as well... just remember to take the front and side views, and include information about the club you are using and your distance hit with that club.
Experience I have studied the game for years, and I would love to share my knowledge of basically making anyone out there play better golf. I am pretty much self taught and have dissected the game thoroughly and hope to turn pro someday. Having started the game later in my life compared to most pros gives me a unique perspective on the game and its psychology. So if you are just as adamant about improving your game to new heights, ask me and I will help you.

Question I use a 12 degree driver, seems like I make good contact but very rarely hit a high shot, always seems like my golf shot has a low to mid trajectory
Answer Hi there and thank you for asking. Hitting the proper flight has very little to do with the loft of the driver. Here is a brief list of all the components that are responsible for how high your drive will go, in addition to the loft:
- spin rate
- angle of attack
- clubhead center of mass
- shaft type
- swing type
- angle/acceleration at impact
- weather/air conditions
- tee height
- type of ball used
With all this into account, you should be able to hit a 6 degree driver higher than a 12 degree driver, which is what John Daly and Tiger used to do easily.
