This tip was very timely for me. I was getting ready to search your site for a fix for saying my drives. The cure seems so simple that I can’t wait to get out tomorrow and apply this to my tee shot. I don’t sky every drive and many are hit like I did in my younger years. Thank you for curing what has be hurting my scoring.
Good démonstration as to Why keep your head back when executing THE throughswing ( Not so easy to acheive if you don’t concentrate your attention on it )
OF course ,you also sky your drive if you TEE THE Ball too high ,,which Some teachers recommend to launch THE Ball higher and longer .But if you do so ,make sure your élevated TEE is in front OF your left big toe ,and not inside your left foot .
You can also do the roll over drill. This will get you to release the club and loosen your wrists but it will also deloft the club because you are closing the face. Then once you hit low hooks you straighten it out with body.

Paul WilsonHarvey,
Yes, you need to immediately work on this. Skying is definitely not good and if you are following my teaching you certainly shouldn’t be skying it.
Here’s another tip I did on it:

Paul WilsonRaymond,
Yeah, but no person who regularly skys the ball will ever tee it high. Instead they tee it lower than normal so they don’t sky it.

philippeysebaertHi Paul,
How come my balls are going so high, especially with lower irion. Lob wedge and 9 and 8 irion.
Thanks for your reply.

Because you are adding loft to your clubs.

You can also do the roll over drill. This will get you to release the club and loosen your wrists but it will also deloft the club because you are closing the face. Then once you hit low hooks you straighten it out with body.
