Teeing the ball at the correct height
From the Team
• Junior Coaching is every Tuesday 15:30 – 16:30 on the driving range. If you would like your kids to come please book your place by calling Justin on 042 2004500/ 084 556 4346.
• Please note that the driving range is closed on Mondays.
I would like to see you set the ball high enough on a tee so that top of the driver is about one-third of the way up the ball. Of course, this means that the standard 2 1/8-inch tee will not be long enough to accommodate the height you require so you will have to invest in the longer ones. To understand this concept you must understand that the “sweet spot” on these drivers is higher up on the club face than in the past (see picture far right) and therefore the need for the longer tee.
If you are unsure of the size of your club then come speak to either Justin or myself and we will point you in the right direction.
Happy Practicing!
Regards,
Ryan

Try the following... |
