With my high lofted driver a high teed ball will balloon. I tend to tee it up so that maybe 1/4 of the ball is above the face of the driver.

I have been trying to figure out how high to tee the ball up.. I have been messing around with it and between trying to figure out my swing again and my tee height, I haven't figured anything out yet...

I think everybody's different! I trying different heights myself right now. I had been teeing up a little too high. For me I think just a little of the golf ball above the top of the driver seems to work great. It doesn't look like the ball flight is high enough, but I'm getting better distance with this height.

I tee it up a half inch above the height of the ball on the ground and I lean the tee slightly in the direction of my intended line.

I tee it up to where maybe a 1/4 of the ball is showing over the top of the driver. Wind behind me i tee it up higher to get the ball going with the wind. Some head wind its teed lower to power through it.

I tee it up just so the top of the ball is even with the top of the face of my driver.

I was out at the range earlier and when I tee'd it up with the ball completely above the driver I was getting much better drives. about 250 with a 5-10yd fade. But a couple times I hit it off the crown and it would go 100yds straight up lol.

When I tee'd it up with half the ball above the driver I would get probably 200yds with a 50yd slice.

Is it just the taller tee is reducing my tendency to come over the top or is something else going on? Also how do I know if my ball flight is too high? Im using a 10.5 degree driver.

I was hitting off mat's and really couldnt find the correct tee. Next time I'm going I will hit from the grass so I can try and find a happy medium.

I used to tee the ball really high and use the xlarge brush tee. This worked great until I changed my driver to a TM Burner. I've noticed that I tee it lower witht this driver (also noticed a trend of TM driver players teeing it a bit lower).

With the TM, I tee it up with about 1/3 of the ball above the top of the driver.

If I want to hit a high strong fade with the driver, I'll tee it higher and place the ball further forward in my stance.

I put my tee ball height, so set a ball next to my tee thats how high it is. this is for strait penetrating shots.

If I am hitting a draw or fade add about 1/2 an inch in height. If I want a low shot I change my stance not my ball height.

If I want to hit the ball straight off the tee, I tee it up high. If I want to play a draw with roll, I tee it up low. Simple as that.
