For a while now, I have had the problem where anywhere from my wedges to 6 iron is fine, but from my 5 iron to driver, the ball flight gets lower and lower. It has gotten to the point where my driver does not get up in the air at all, and there are sometimes divots passed where i actually teed up the ball originally. If anyone has any advice or comments that would be great.

There is alot of variables to could cause this from... ball postion, leg stance, transfer of weight, grip, hands at impact. The best thing to do is to go get a lesson or two to see what the problem is and then work to fix it.

Alot of times I have seen that going to heavier and slightly shorter clubs will help players get the ball up in the air more.

Three things come to mind. you could be swinging outside in, ball is too far back in the stance, or you shift you WHOLE body including your head, forward on the downswing, meaning you lunge out the ball.

This also typical of some one who has a grip that is too strong. You can hit short irons well even longer because getting the hands ahead will deloft the club but it makes the long irons and woods hard to get airborne. Check to see if the back of your left hand is facing the target at address. You should see no knuckles of your left hand or maybe one knuckle.
