Perhaps the address position with the ball further forward in your stance alters your stroke pattern without you being aware of it.
Perhaps you try to hit "up" on the ball instead of doing the right thing.
Perhaps this creates alignment error in the takeaway. It is very easy to get an OTT-ish takeaway with the driver if you don't insist on doing the right thing. The right thing is three dimensional, btw.
Perhaps all of the above ruins the down part in your three dimensional downstroke down, out and forward.
Perhaps your problem will go away if you just hit a few drives with the club face addressing an imaginary ball that is a few inches further back in your stance.
But then again, perhaps your isue is a different one from this usual suspect
Ball position could be an issue. I'll try to move around a bit. When I play it a little back of my normal, that's often when I hit the big block. Like I said, a ball flight and distance I could live with if I could hit it predictably.
I did hit one last night where I placed the ball forward of low point, swung down to low point and let the club orbit bring me "up" into the ball as someone on here had described. Nice, high draw with great distance -- could live with that one, too.
There is still a "flip" in the driver. I'm really concentrating on PP#1 versus #3. "Down" may well be missing. Some good drives earlier happened with direct hand path and lots of down and out.
I do seem to "find" it on the driving range, but can't get it to the tee. I know there is a timing and rhythm issue going on on the tee (i.e. trying to kill it).
