Tee It High
Tee the ball high enough so the equator of the ball is higher than the top of the club. I know you might be thinking this will just put another battle scar on the top of my driver. With the sizes of driver clubheads lately, teeing the ball this high is the only way to hit the ball on the upswing and in the center of the clubface, as explained in steps 3 & 4.

Set-Up
Ball Position - Off Left Heel
Notice the wide stance, with the ball position off the left heel, and the tilt in my shoulders.These three set-up keys help ensure that I hit the ball on the upswing

Hit The Ball On the Upswing
Remember with the irons swing the low point is after the ball has been struck.
This is to ensure the ball is struck with solid contact no matter what the lie is. The only time we can hit the ball on the upswing is when the ball is in the air. Contacting the ball on the upswing is the best angle for distance, because there is less backspin. And there is no such thing as a well hit ball with topspin, no matter what the infomercials might say.

Hit The Ball In The Center of the Clubface
What a great idea! Did you know that the best way to increase you fun meter is to hit the ball in the center of the clubface? Most, if not all, golf clubs are designed to be hit in the center of the clubface. It's the point of contact that maximizes distance. So if your ball is not getting off the ground you are lacking solid contact. Try placing impact tape on the face of the club for feedback.
