How High (or low) do you tee it up with your driver?

[Certifi_able]

I've always been one to tee the ball rather low and by low I never have the top of the ball above the top of the driver. I've read that teeing the ball high will produce less fade and/or slice.
When I have tried teeing higher I almost always pop the ball up. I have a pretty upright swing with my irons and feel that my driver isn't flat enough. What are your thoughts? High low or who cares? And why?

Tee 'em high and let 'em fly! When Im hitting driver I tee the ball up so that the middle of the ball is even with the crown of the club.
That way you hit the ball on the part of the clubsface that is the thinnest and most springy and even if you come up on it a little bit you will still make pretty solid contact.
My driver shots go plenty high, the only problem is they go about 50 yards to the right.

I try to tee mine up high, although my driver is a pretty small one so that's not all that high. I definitely have a problem with pop-ups -- somehow I manage to defy the laws of physics and swing my 3" tall driver under a ball teed up an inch and a half. Still don't quite understand that

Tee it up with no ball or barley any over the crown of the club. I actually started lowering it today, and no lie( I have two witnesses) I hit one about 320 and didn't even hit the middle of the face. I believe it makes me able to hit the middle of the club face better.

I always tee my ball so half of it is over the top of my driver face. I've always been told this is about the right height.

I always tee up high because lately I've been having trouble topping the ball. Of course with my luck whenever I purposely tee the ball up high, it goes 300 yards away....strait up in the air that is.

Well, I have always heard the same, tee it high and let it fly, but we were at East Lake for the TC, and on 9, the 600 yd downhill par 5, we could get right behind the tee boxes, within 10 yds.

We watched about ten groups go through, and all but a couple of the pro's tee'd teh ball really low. My buddy, who is a pretty good golfer, said that they tee it lower for accuracy.

Since seeing this, I have bee teeing my driver much lower, with much better results, so I'd say I'm a low tee'er....

Voted for "who cares" because I wouldn't consider my tee height high or low...probably somewhere in the middle....say a quarter of the ball above the crown.

The top of my tee sits right in the lower half of my middle third of my middle finger. If you know the area I'm talking about then kudos to you.

For those who didn't follow that, about an inch or so for my tee height.

I vary depending on factors like wind. If the wind is behind me, I typically tee it high to get a higher flight so the wind can carry it more. If it comes from any other direction, I tee it low to keep it down and hopefully get more roll. I always buy the type of tees that are painted such that you can place it with a consistent height...low or high.
