Skied drives are a result of swinging down into the ball too steeply.
The common reaction people have to this is to tee the ball down lower, but this only makes the problem worse.
When the ball is down almost on the ground, you may not sky the ball any more, but you’ll be swinging even steeper and causing many other poor shots.
To get around this we need to shallow out the swing plane by swinging the hands and the club more around the body rather than up and down.
One of the best ways to do this is to tee the ball up really high.
Now, I know what your thinking and another nice big sky mark on your driver is the last thing you need. So we do this with a 5-iron which has a shallow face to it.
This makes it even harder to catch the ball correctly and will force you to change the swing plane.
Tee it high, swing the hands and club more around you and try to clip the ball off the tee without touching it.
It may take some time to get used to this, but with some slow motion practice swings where you try to touch the top of the tee and no more you will be on your way.
