There has been a lot of heated debate on whether the ball should be hit up or down with the driver.Perhaps it's neither.
Now I'm no scientist and I don't know my physics that well but for maximum efficiency,shouldn't the clubhead be travelling level with the clubshaft vertical ie.not leaning backwards or forward?
Any time the ball is hit upwards or downwards,it stands to reason you are hitting the ball with a glancing blow.
I have a swing sequence of Tiger doing just that.Clubshaft level through impact(ball has left the clubface perhaps 2 inches)
He described his swing as being almost perfect that day.
