@hadi05 weve been talking about this recently
One more thing that commonly prevents hitting up with driver. This one has been implied in some posts, but not explicitly called out. If you have a problem with coming over the top (OTT) you must get rid of that or you’ll never achieve the proper AoA.
This one isn’t all AOA but some good looking drills
I do this as well but still manage to override it and live in the -2/5 AOA rangeTo help hit up on the ball, after I set up to it, I slide my right hand down my leg and then grip the club. Gets me into a good position to hit up on the ball.
focus on the back or bottom of the ball and not the top... this helped meI do this as well but still manage to override it and live in the -2/5 AOA range
Learn to keep your head BEHIND the ball. What @mikeg_74 suggested is after the same objective. You can't see the back of the ball if your head is in front of the ball.I do this as well but still manage to override it and live in the -2/5 AOA range
Not to Hijack the thread however how do you like the books?Good information in this thread; strike issues are my focus this offseason. I'm working through Adam Young's "The Strike Plan" and his book "The Practice Manual". In the former, he has a drill for driver called the "3 Tee Drill" in which you place a short tee about an inch behind a long tee and another short tee about 6" in front of the tall tee and swing through the tees clipping the short one, then the tall one and missing the last tee. Its a great drill which can be done in the yard without a ball.
I am teeing the ball on a 3.25" tee well off my left heel or instep and launching the ball high with terrific hang time.
I've read "The Practice Manual" and it has helped me a ton. I've often thought about working through his Strike Plan videos but haven't pulled the trigger on that yet. Maybe if I get my swing work to a comfortable spot before the end of the offseason I will get started on it. I'm sure it's fantastic I've always heard good things.Not to Hijack the thread however how do you like the books?

That sounds interesting. Thanks for the insight."The Strike Plan" is actually a streaming video series, which I think is very good. Young gives clear explanations and quite a few drills. I really like his philosophy around developing skills first and worrying about technique only to the extent that it supports the skill. "The Practice Manual" is a book and also very good, but quite dense...not a quick read at all (I'm about halfway through). In the first section of the book, Young gives a thorough explanation of ball flight laws which serves as the basis for the rest of the book, much of which is about how we learn.
