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 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.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By RandallC ·

      I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.
