Default Poll: Do you place driver on the ground or hover it in the air?
My pro told me to try placing on the ground before I hit, i seem to now hit sweet spot more often, what do you prefer and why?

Ground for me for pretty much the same reason. Consistency more than anything.

When I hit my 3 wood I put it on the ground. I am experimenting in air and on ground with driver but mostly hovering.

Ground. It gives me a good reference point for consitancy, and I can relax my muscles before I swing. Hovering keeps me too tight.

Ground here too. I have a tendency to close the face if I don't ground it first.

I tap mine on the ground before go. If I rest it on the ground I have difficulty releasiing the tension in my arms. If I tap it on the ground the tension goes out of my arms just before I take the club back.

I've tried it both ways, seems like Nicklaus says to hover it (I could be worng about that), but I always go back to grounding it.

Many of the pro's are now doing what they call "The bounce". They seem to think it gives them reference to the ground even though they touch base line, (ground), then hit the ball on the way up.

I have always grounded the club. The only place I don't is in a hazard.

Ground. I find I make way better contact this way, and I also tee it lower than most do with the driver, so that helps me "feel" where I need the club to come back to when I swing.

i'm not coordinated enough to hover, swing, make contact. plus i'm lazy, so grounding just makes sense.

On the ground for me. I'm not sure if being over six foot makes any difference however I just feel more secure with the driver starting from the ground.

On the ground 95% of the time but if I try to crank one out there, like a scramble ill hover, helps me not smack the ground...most of the time.
