your standing on your wrong foot for driving

by just looking, that its on your left foot, i bet you hit it high in the air, if you move it to your right foot, like off center right
you will not only lower your ball, but you will increase distance.
The swing will take getting used to but it works..

He's saying to move the ball further back in your stance - which is absolutely incorrect for driving technique - and I'm sure you'r aware of that.

Iron play yes - ball back in stance, but driver no - it should be forward in your stance.

i agree when using ur driver the ball should be in the front of your stance but with irons it all depends on what type of shot u are hitting and what iron u are using.

im working on it. I do hit the ball kinda high, so that would probably help.

also, i know ur using a driver, but don't go as far back for the back swing.

you will develop way more consistancy, and i doubt ull even lose a yard of distance in the outcome. (i did this, and i started out hitting shorter, but later on i got the same distance with a way shorter take back)

tl;dr : ur backswing is past parallel, keep it at or a little before it

Your back knee bows out slightly. I had the same problem except mine was a little worse.

It's an easy fix though.
