I'm posting this older GCA clip with Fred Funk because he has a totally exceptional tackle getting greater distance from your power. Bear in mind that Fred isn't the longest hitter first of all, so this tip may wonder you.
In a time when we're being told that the way to get distance is to "tee it high and let it fly," Fred doesn't follow this advice unless he particularly wants a high shot. When he wants a long drive, he tees it LOW so he'll get more roll. Based on the quick shot of how low he tees the ball, I'd say he has only a quarter to a third of the ball above the top of his driver, not half the ball as most instructors suggest.
Note that Fred's advice won't help you if the fairways are moist. In that case, your distance will come in general from the amount of deliver you get. This is truely a tip to be used on company fairways in which you can count on a leap or , in addition to some roll. It may additionally assist while you're playing into a wind.
In any case, remember that the best way to get distance on your drive depends as much on the CONDITIONS as on the equipment and technique. Sometimes you want to tee it high, sometimes you want to tee it low, and sometimes you'll get more distance with a 3-wood than a driver. (It's a bit easier to draw the ball with 3-wood, and easier to fade the ball with a driver.) Take a moment to plan your strategy before you tee it up, and you'll be rewarded.
