Hit up and take loft off to add driver carry

The instructor says that players who swing the driver around 90 to 95 mph likely need a more positive angle of attack, hitting up on the ball. He notes that Christy sometimes hits as much as six degrees up and takes loft off, which he credits with good launch conditions, low spin, and being able to carry the ball further; as the swing gets more level, distance decreases a little.
