Driver mishits: solved

Starting the middle of last year, I’ve occasionally been hitting annoying, short, rolling drives.  They sound ok coming off the club, but die quickly and roll 100 yards (if I’m lucky).

What became obviously today is I’ve been hitting the ball off the bottom of the clubface.  This part the of the face, about an inch below the sweet spot, is dead.

The solution?  Tee the ball higher.  Seems obvious now, but it took me half a year and 16 holes to figure it out.  With the ball teed properly, I crushed my last two drives.
