Hitting low driver?
My driver is going too high to be effective into the wind.

My only thought going through the ball is right forearm low and driving.

Any suggestions for bringing the trajectory down would be appreciated.

Drive the #1 pressure point well past the ball. That drive will keep the right wrist bent at impact. If the wrist flattens at or around impact, you will suffer from trajectile disfunction.

Golf having a lot of opposites, I will follow your Rx and use #1 to keep it Down.

My experience is that the layback of the Angled Hinge produces a higher flight along with the fade tendency. There IS a "little move" which will fix that.

A counterclockwise "unscrewing" with the heel of the right hand along the axis of the thrusting right forearm while keeping the right wrist bent. Your right palm turns toward the ground through Impact. You replace the layback with more closing.

It's a twist of the right forearm such as you would do if you were unloosening a screw with a screwdriver. Except the right wrist is bent when doing it in the Hit.

rwh,

Rare calm days like today with a sunny 54 degs - why are you hitting the keyboard instead of golf balls?

Do you use a Hitting Stroke? If so, how do you move it R-L?
