I'm the exact opposite.

I tee my ball so that at least half of it is above the crown of my driver at address.
I set up so that the ball is basically opposite my left toe, I open my stance slightly and KaBoom!

I've tried teeing the ball lower and moving it towards the middle of my stance (left instep like all the books say) but I have major problems with direction and lose lots of power.

I guess it's all about what works best for you!

Its all about getting it right for your swing. A driver must me hit on the up swing 99% of the time. For my normal swing, I tee the ball as high as possible with a short tee, just off my left heel. For a draw, I'll play the back slightly but at the same height. Hitting dead into a stiff wind, I'll tee the ball down a little to keep the flight down, which results from catching it at the bottom of the arch and no so much on the upswing.
