callaway is known for high ball flight. like other users suggested ,it seems you are ready for a custom fit. also the driver you are using is very outdated technology wise. if you are a serious golfer, or plan on playing more. this is the right time of year to purchase a upgraded driver. there are exceptional deals available on 2008 clubs. good luck. have a nice drive.

Okay...
1. Tee your ball up with a long tee as high as you can.
2. Set up and put it in the very front of your stance.
3. Open your stance a little to keep your balance.
4. And when you take a few waggles before you hit. Hover your driver.
Like when your hitting just a regular drive you would want to sweep the ground. But here you would want to hover it about an inch or so off the ground. Or whenever your face is even with the ball. And try to keep it even with the ball on your downswing. This might be pretty hard to get used to but trust me it works. I have the same problem. I have a cleveland hibore 10* Driver and it hit's low. But use this method. It works trust me... Hope I helped.

Where the ball is positioned in your stance could have an impact. If it's closer to the middle than inside your front heel, that would have a bearing on your ball flight. It could also be the shaft being too stiff for your club head speed or you might want to go to a 11, 11.5 or higher loft driver.

i use a callaway big bertha warbird andif someone tall uses it, they tend to do the same. a friend of mine is over 6 foot and he needs to move his stance back a little to have the ball further up in his stance(maybe a 6 inch adjustment). this makes it where the club head is facing the sky a little more, so thats where the ball goes. hope this helps.

Odds are the shaft in your driver is simply too stiff. Take your driver to a retail store that has a launch monitor and compare it to some of others. If you get a better ball flight with a club with a little softer flex, just trade yours in!

U can do a couple of things
1. adjust ur stance to where the ball is more forward in the stance
2. just tee it up higher
3. Instead of trading ur club in for another, just get a new shaft that promotes a higher flight
4. Or trade ur club in for one with a higher loft

put your weight 60 - 40 on the back foot at setup and try to keep the feeling of this setup weight during the swing . this will help in correcting your angle of approach for the driver to the ball

it can be your stance, like where u have the ball at. or u might be hitting it on top of it. u can try teeing up a little bit higher

You need to get a shaft with a low kick point... this will help you get the ball in the air better, i would suggest the graffaloy pro launch blue shaft or any aldila shaft with a low kick point. hope this helps
