Addressing Sandwedge94954's post, "I'm a single digit handicapper with a continual problem of having difficulty getting the ball up in the air especially fairway woods. The solution I have been given is to move closer and put the ball up front with the right shoulder dropped."...

Yes, you do want to play the ball up in your stance.  But I'm a little concerned about their advice to drop your shoulder.  Instead, try bumping your hip up a bit.  Watch the video and I'll explain.

Thanks and keep the questions coming!
