ANSWER: HI Alex,

I need more details. What can you not hit high enough? Your Driver, irons, sandwedge?? Why do you want to hit it higher? What are you comparing your shots to?

Answer
Hi Alex,

For your Driver, it's likely that the loft is not great enough for your swing speed. Most golfers play with a loft that is too small. You'd likely get more distance by using a higher lofted driver.

For your irons, if hitting them low, it's likely that you are "scooping" the ball instead of hitting down on the ball.
Check out this page for some great info of how to "hit down on the ball."

Playing a higher spin ball will enable you to get more height and backspin as well. Check out the latest GOLF Magazine or purchase my ebook in which I analyze the results of that study. You can access it through my newsletter.

Hope this helps. It's hard to say exactly what your problem is without seeing you swing.
