Tip: How high to tee your ball up with the driver
A common problem with many amateurs – especially beginners – is knowing how high your ball should be teed when using your driver.
- Teeing too low – This causes lower spin rates and therefore a lower trajectory when striking the ball. Which will combine to seriously decrease the distance you are obtaining when hitting your driver.
When to adjust your driver settings
- Teeing too high – Inversely this will give you too much backspin, and create a launch angle that is steeper and therefore affect the distance with the ball travelling upward rather than forward.
The perfect strike would be directly in the middle of the face of the club, this is not always possible, as we are all prone to some miss-hit shots from time to time. Especially with our drivers.
By ensuring we have the perfect position of our ball on the tee when using a driver, we can help eliminate many problems and give ourselves the best chance of that perfect strike – and therefore distance.
How to hit the sweet spot on the club every time
A perfectly teed golf ball should have half of the surface visible above the top of the driver head, allowing us much more chance of making contact with the exact middle of the club face at impact.
