Hi Shawn, I am 63 years old and I am back into golf after a 20-year layoff. I have rediscovered my interest in the game and love the learning aspect. A question if I may. I have adopted the Moe Norman club back from the ball at address for the driver, and it has helped me greatly with accuracy and improved length off the tee. A good drive for me is 260 -270 yards. I have been wanting to go higher on tee height as per your vid, but I don't see the pros doing it, or not from what I have seen anyway, and I thought there must be a good technical reason why they don't. After watching your vid I am going to make the move to a much higher tee height. Just wondering why the tournament pros dont seem to tee higher. Regards Tony (Cairns Australia)

[@golfwisdom-francais9726]

Hey Tony! The game has changed a lot in 5 years on Tour; Tony Finau, Cameron Champ and all the longer guys tee the ball for accuracy as they hit it 300 plus easily. There are fewer and fewer doing it out there; but for the rest of us, and ALL THE LONG DRIVE COMPETITORS, these are the easy things we can do.

[@TonyB683]

Thanks for the response. Makes perfect sense. I will give it a go. Regards Tony @@golfwisdom-francais9726

[@chrisjackson1266]

Nice. I had the chance to try the new Paradym the other day. I was launching too low, but the speed was solid. Teeing higher was one of the things I'd like to try.

[@golflessons]

Let’s go! 👍😀

[@andrewkruzienski770]

Shawn, I recently got a R10 and have an outdoor net and mat. Do you have any videos where you show a layman how to break down the numbers? I realize the R10 isn't going to be like a more expensive one but may be some good content for us diving in.

[@Hexcidius]

Thank you Shawn 😊

[@robertlozano6546]

How tall a tee would you recommend sir for high launch ?

[@kevinhumphreys5939]

I watched one of your videos on this and played today with someone I didn’t know. He had a new Taylor made and I’m still using a jet speed .. I only missed one fairway with the driver .went where I hit it launched high and was only a few yards behind him.. he is 45 and I’m 63.. I will try the higher tee. Next and see if this goes further.. I nearly made the green on a par 4 ….. love your content ..pity I’m only just listening now..

[@golflessons]

Better late than never! 😝😀👍

[@ashah2574]

Hi Shawn, l remember seeing a video a while back where you talked about taking a mid stance and closing the face instead of strong grip and tilting back. Can you please tell me which video this is?

[@alangertler5525]

Shawn-enjoy your videos. I am 71 yo with driver club head speed in low 80s. I noticed that you setup driver several inches behind ball with elevated tee to get ascending impact . Should I employ this setup to increase distance?

[@golflessons]

you bet Alan!

[@shannondronen8265]

Hi Shawn and Sav, What Tee height do you recommend? The 3.25" or 4"?

[@golflessons]

See if you can handle 4 inches! 👍😀

[@stevepackard3379]

I am definitely going to give this a shot. I have been using a medium tee height, but I would never get any roll out, in fact I would find my ball behind a pitch mark (backspin?)… I recently had a Trackman session and found that I have a back spin in the high 3,000’s - 4,000’s 🤦🏻‍♂️. Hope this helps. 🤞🏻

[@golflessons]

Hey Steve! You are either hitting it on the low side of the face and or hitting down on the ball; what is your angle of attack? it should be at a minimum of 3 degrees up to kill off spin.

[@tomasm007]

I just realized I'm answering "yes", "okay" and "aha" out loud as you are giving the lessons. My kids think is funny 🤣 . On a serious note, your lessons have helped me tremendously. Thank you! 🏌️‍♂️

[@golflessons]

Love that!

[@DexterandAlessandrina]

Hey Shawn, with the T high and upfront of the lead toe is that a fade position only or can you hit a draw with a ball that far forward as well?

[@golflessons]

Hey Dexter! Don’t let the camera angle fool you too much here; the key is in the prediction process! When you allow momentum to track the arms and club and release you in the direction you want to start the ball, is the tip of tee in the right place to get clipped on the upswing by the centre of the sole of the club? if yes, we have the right ball position and distance to ball. See “diagonal stance series”, the “goldie locks series” and the “throwing series” on premium!

[@DexterandAlessandrina]

@@golflessons Thanks Shawn!

[@andysullivan6373]

Recently been told by a pga pro in UK that I was launching driver too high (launch angle was around 17 degrees) was told that 13 to 14 degrees would be better

[@golflessons]

They are both good; depends on the conditions and which one you benefit from most in the conditions you play! What is your club speed and carry?

[@andysullivan6373]

@@golflessons club speed around 100 mph (am trying to up that a little) carry around 240 yards can get up to about 250 if spin stays down

[@golflessons]

@@andysullivan6373 yep, that was Savy 2 years ago and we were way up there with angle of attack and launch; her loft is 9 degrees and her AOA is 7to 9 up for 16 to 18 Launch

[@realtrafficsuccess7349]

Where can I get the Tarneda gof tee ? you mention using in this video....Thanks, George

[@golflessons]

The Tornado Golf Tees can be found mostly online; let them know we sent you!

[@mullerone1]

For maximum distance would you recommend 4 inch tee height for a 92mph swing?

[@golflessons]

There are a few more factors than the speed; the angle of attack is something than many struggle with; but if you have a good grasp of where the bottom of your swing arc is, and can deliver a nice upward angle of attack, sure! I certainly enjoy doing that! It opens up the options!

[@nextbounce1724]

Thanks, Shawn for another excellent video. I notice that your hands move quickly to the left after impact. From your previous teaching, I expected "an emphatic release towards the target" with your trailing arm moving towards the target. If my observation is correct, please explain why you have changed. Thanks!

[@golflessons]

I am hitting a power fade on this drive! 😀

[@nextbounce1724]

@@golflessons Thanks!

[@xRLJohns24x]

Shawn can this method be a remedy for reducing the high and spiny drive from your game? Or does it tend to exacerbate the issue? Either way I’m going to give it a try next range session 😅

[@golflessons]

Several factors! The last 2 years for driver heads have been instrumental for lower spin and you must have a strong enough grip and a nice full release to not have the ball slide up the face.

[@kakunguluherbert6832]

Hello wisdom of golf am Herbert from ELS Dubai I wish I would get a chance to look at sav z set up and swing from a right handed point of view..more like mirroring her swing........I really like how far she is hitting the ball and she has a good swing....thanks shawn for the tips

[@golflessons]

Good Idea! Thank you for that!

[@dmbarash]

To tee it high, you need to tee it forward to catch it on the upswing. But then, because you're forward, isn't it harder to hit a draw? How do you adjust to keep the draw?

[@golflessons]

Exactly why you needed to watch to the end as the last important tip was at minute 10 when we talked about the DIAGONAL STANCE that would allow you to maintain a proper platform under your lead side as you swing to the right of the intermediate point. On our premium channel, we have a complete series on the “DIAGONAL STANCE” that Ben Hogan and Moe Norman used to dominate their competition with the long clubs and driver; you also want to see “draw fine tuning” and “blur of club” as well as “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” to complement it! Https://www.wisdomingolfpremium.com

[@karlwolfe3165]

When you’re out playing on the course does your tee always go forward or does it sometimes go backwards 9:17

[@golflessons]

When the tee tumbles forward and the top hits the ground, it can easily go backwards; so no worries! Just stick with the task!

[@nomorebs2380]

Hi Shawn. Another great video. Is the diagonal stance the same as a closed stance?

[@golflessons]

Similar; there is a specific balance of feet alignment vs ball position throughout the bag and the natural path of the swing plays a big factor in this: we have a specific “diagonal stance series” on our premium channel which is worth its weight in gold!

[@rogerstanley7906]

Shawn, on those hi-tee drives you seem to be predominately using your arms in the swing rather than your body. Is this correct?

[@golflessons]

No way! Focus is on using the weight of the arc-club unit to make the tip of the tee tumble to the left of the IP in the direction I want the ball to start! When thinking this way, the kinetic chain of my anatomy engages the ground through the left ankle and leg and glut and pulls the body through with the existing momentum I built up with my huge turn and high arms and hands in the backswing. THE ARM TONE has to match the chain to get pulled through in the direction I want to start the ball and it makes it appear the way it does! Make more sense to what you see now?

[@rogerstanley7906]

@@golflessons Thanks for your detailed reply, Shawn. Because of that particular video I have booked a 12 hole training session for tomorrow where I will work on implementing that action. The thing is, as I’m sure you know, the perfect swing action requires commitment and that requires confidence. Golf is such a mental thing!

[@rodpaterson225]

Ball position to achieve "ball - grass - ground". With an 8 iron, my ball is just behind the centre of my feet. Why do some golfers feel the need to move the ball progressively further forward as they hit longer irons? The bottom of my swing I think is still the centre of my feet so why should the ball be forward of centre with my 4 iron?

[@golflessons]

Exactly! the only reason you would do that is if you wanted to hit a nice high fade! forward of centre is fade and back of centre is draw.

[@jvelez1998]

Brilliant wisdom shared once again, Shawn. My ball speed teeters in the low to mid 190s and I tee up my ball slightly above the crown of the driver. There are many ways to hit the long ball! I will be experimenting with teeing the ball even higher to calibrate launch and spin to an optimal state. Well done sir! 👍🙌🙌💯💯💪💪👍👍

[@golflessons]

Right on Jason! That is freaking awesome! let us know how you do! what driver head and shaft combo do you have? 👍🫶😀

[@jvelez1998]

Thanks, Shawn! I definitely will. I use an 8 degree (lofted down to 7.25) TSR3 with an x-stiff Graphite Design UB shaft. BTW, I just turned 49 years young in January! Love your content! 🙌🙌🙌

[@ottawapop]

Really need good face control to spin that low with a driver at 100 mph swing. I gave up and hit more fairways with 2400-2600 spin.

[@golflessons]

What was the ball doing when you were trying?

[@kanaljenskanal]

if you had a gigantic hola hoop with 2m diameter you could VISULIZE for the viewers that to make contact with the ball higher up you need to both tilt and rotate that swingplan as you are doing by moving your feets. /BR Fred

[@golflessons]

The videos that display this nicely on our premium channel are “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series” and the “hammer throw driver” video.

[@SuperPeakey]

Really struggle with Driver, probably the path / face control though as can’t hit from the inside 😢

I just got done watching one of your videos about how you need to tee it low when hitting a driver. Now you say to tee it up. Are you making things up just to create new videos?

[@golfwisdom-francais9726]

Not one bit! This is the technique we have been teaching forever to max out your numbers and distance; BUT IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS, OR NEED TO HIT MORE FAIRWAYS, THEN THE OTHER VIDEO IS THE OPTION THAT SUITS BEST. Nice to have options; please continue to watch our videos and get to know me better.

I have been trying different tee heights to get what is best for me. 247 has been my best carry distance so far. My clubhead speed is around 107 and ball speed 147. i can hit my 3 wood just about the same distance as my driver. I just can't seem to get much speed and power at the point of impact. I've been watching most of your videos and will continue to do so. Thanks. @@golflessons
