Golf Driver Tee Height - You Gotta Get It Right!
Re: The correct golf driver tee height to hit longer drives.
I know with the size of the new drivers in the past 10 years it has made it very difficult for the average player to know how high to tee the ball up. Just because you go out and buy one of those monsters that doesn’t mean you have to tee it up on a top of a telephone pole.
The rule of thumb is simple. If your normal ball flight is a slice, then tee it UP high, where nearly half the ball is above your driver face when on the tee. The higher you tee it the easier it is to the get the clubhead under the ball and role it over.
If your normal ball flight is a hook, then tee it DOWN, where the top of the ball is barely above the top of your driver face. The lower you tee it the more difficult it is to get the clubface under the ball in a closed position at impact. If the ball is teed low the only way to make contact is for the face to return slightly open.
Finally, if your natural ball flight is a slight draw, slight fade, or straight-you are at the correct tee height.
Golfingly yours,
