Driver Tee Height.
"How high should I tee my driver?" is a question I am often asked. "It depends" is usually my answer. If you want accuracy, tee it a little lower. If you want distance, tee it a little higher. The depth of your driver's face will be a determining factor, as you need to tee it up higher if you have a very deep face driver and a little lower for a slightly shallower driver. Here is Sean Foley to tell you how to do it, thanks to Golf Digest TV.
I know a lot of long drivers hit up on the ball to maximize carry distance and reduce backspin, but there's a right way and a wrong way to sweep it off the tee. Pay attention to where you feel your body weight during the downswing. Even though you want the driver to be slightly ascending at impact, make sure you transfer your weight to your front foot as you start down. The common mistake is keeping the weight on the back foot and trying to help the ball launch higher. You can shift forward and still hit up on it.
