No - Soling the driver at address means you have to adjust to get the sweetspot of the clubhead to the ball.

Golf Tip: You’re standing on the tee with the driver in your hand with the ball teed up nicely. So which one — ball, tee or ground — are you going to hit? I always ask my students which one they plan to hit, and they say “The ball, of course.” I then ask them, “So why do you hit all three?” 
Too often, on a tee shot, the player sends the tee flying and the dirt spraying.
Instead, the ideal way to hit a tee shot is to leave the tee in the ground and sweep the ball off the top of the tee. 
Do how do you do that? Very simple: Don’t sole your driver at address. Put the driver head where the ball is and start from there. Make sure the sweet spot of the club is level with the ball when you’re at address. That way, you don’t have to lift it up or drop it down to get the clubhead to where the ball is. Look at the second photo - the driver’s sweet spot is matched up perfectly with the ball.

Yes - Now you don't have to lift or drop the club to get the sweet spot to the ball.

Ball-striking is the term that's commonly used to describe the quality of contact between the clubface and the ball at impact.

In pitch shots — and in all shots, for that matter — there's an important distinction between striking the ball and scooping it. 

Striking occurs with the hands and handle leaning slightly forward at contact with the weight on the left side. Conversely, with a scooping motion, the weight stays back and the player tops the ball or hits too far behind it. 

A simply prop can help you overcome the scoop and replace it with a strike.

You've "popped" a towel before, right? This is a great way to train your hands to stay ahead of the clubface at impact. 

You cannot “cast” a towel and get it to pop. The right wrist needs to stay bent back and let the end catch with a snap. This is a great drill to get rid of an early release.
