Add driver loft to attack the ball instead of hanging back

The coach notes that many tour players increase their driver loft to around 10.5 or 11 degrees so they can hit through and down on the ball more, which gives the launch they need while letting them attack the ball and stabilize the face. With a 7-degree driver he finds himself hanging back trying to help the ball into the air, which makes the club drop at the last minute and produces a little high, right shot.
