However, when I read quotes like "sustain lag pressure as it drives down to China" that, to my young TGM ears, is saying drive the pressure point down so that the club squeezes the ball against turf, I can do this with an iron or wood or anything of the deck, however, I don’t know how to do the same thing with a driver when the ball is sitting on a tee a couple of inches off the turf. Any help?? I am seeing an AI maybe once a month and credit him and TGM for getting me where I am now, but I just need more and more information.

Thanks,

Rarely if ever does a ball get squeezed between the clubface and turf. It does get severely compressed (pancaked) against the clubface though and is usually gone before the face is taking up turf. It's a good swing thought because a decending blow is what you want with all clubs, even a teed up driver.

I've seen several TOUR players as recently as last week taking divots with teed up three woods. The descent for a Driver is much shallower than an iron, but it should be contacting the ball during it's downward descent just before low point.

You might try hitting your driver off the deck as a drill. Once you get a nice trajectory out of it and flying straight, take that same swing from a tee. Hover your clubhead if you need to.

Keep in mind that just about anything can be overdone. The trick with each TGM component is finding the right one for you and then learning its tolerances.

You'll find a ton of good information here to supplement your learning. Last time I checked we had over 40,000 posts. Most of them TGM related except for the rantings of a few crazy members.
