USE THIS CHEAT METHOD AND YOU WILL HONESTLY HIT THE DRIVES OF YOUR LIFE!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

*Match SWING & Tee height. I use this as my CHEAT code out on the course!*

[@BobbyRayJr]

Does the grip change much between the 3 different driver scenario? I feel like I need a stronger grip for the high bomber, compared to the fairway finder and stinger shots. Just curious.

[@doncrist2012]

It worked for me. Thanks. I played 9 holes and missed fairway 2 times.

[@JohnnyUtah13]

Started playing in May. Low 20's Handicap. I have started bending my knees more (especially the front knee) at the top of my backswing, on drives, and this has created MUCH more loft off of the tee. I had to adjust by moving my tee height down a bit! Love your videos Alex. You are one of the great ones on youtube!

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent demonstration Alex of three different shots from three different tee heights. I have used all three of these at one time or another. I use the maximum one mostly for my driver off the tee because I am usually searching for "center cut" anyway. The two others may be used for windy conditions whereby you're hitting into it. All good suggestions Alex!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thanks for sharing!

[@donbernhardt2424]

I love the fact that it's ok to tee up the driver lower. Started golfing in the '70s and we teed the ball up lower than "normal" now, but I just can't get on with this "half a ball above the face stuff". Just doesn't work for me. My normal height would be somewhere between 4th and 3rd gear. Works great for me. Thanks for helping me feel better about it!

[@alangoudie2299]

Valuable advice as usual. When I use a pink tee I tend to hit the ball in the top half of the face. I now use the white tee for all my drives as THIS USUALLY GIVES ME A CENTRAL STRIKE ON THE CLUB FACE. This gives me better distance. ALEX, as the white tee works for me do you recommend that I should stick with it? A central strike gives better distance for all golfers. All golfers are different & the white tee suits my game.

[@andrewdawson1]

Great advice, Alex. Can’t wait to try the tee peg heights

[@doncrist2012]

Going to try the different heights and swings today. Will let you know. Thanks

[@davec.1045]

Thanks yet again, Alex. Since I have been applying your instruction videos, my driver confidence has soared. I used to slice and now I'm hitting straight shots and at worst have a little bit of a power fade. It's truly amazing what confidence does to my game. I look forward to smashing that driver!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Brill, I hope the tips help!

Hi Alex whats your tip for slowing down my swing fir these shots? When i try i lower teei always seem to top the ball

[@jimkelehan1366]

Hi Alex, I just wanted to post an update. Today, I used the tips in this video and they really helped! My playing partner asked me, today “What is my next area of improvement?” He was being polite and not pointing out my weaknesses in chipping. Starting today, I’ll be working on that part of my game. Of, I know a source for great information on how to do it properly! Thank you so much for your videos! 😊

[@AlexElliottGolf]

You are so welcome!

[@damianmarquez1438]

Mr. Alex, thank you for this tee height examples. Sometimes I hit the ball a mile high but only 100 yards down the fairway. Sometimes I hit the ball 4 feet of the ground down the center of the fairway. Understand now to match my swing speed my the tee height makes more sense to me now. Can’t wait to hit the course with this new understand of tee height and swing speed…

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you for the support

@AlexElliotGolf I took this to this lesson with me to the course and it was an absolute game changer for me!!! I struggled massively with my driver on the first few holes and switched to a lower tee. Not only did I hit it straighter, I also hit my longest drive ever at 316 yards!!! Thank you for your help!!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

love this! great work eric!!

[@billwatkins8227]

Alex, I use a “Martini” tee to get the same height every time. Am I making a mistake? My ball flight does change because I’m not good enough to be sure my stance is the same every time. Suggestions?

[@IronDrummer91]

That final tee height is interesting - going to try it this weekend as it’s 20-40mph forecast! I usually resort to 3 wood for the strategy of the pink and white tees. Think I need to practice driver for not only hitting it as far as I can 😅

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hahaha good luck in the wind. Report back after your golf

[@mcha411]

[@LoriLucas-wf8ss]

Hey Alex, just wondering if you recommend hitting a couple balls at the rang before a round?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes for sure only a few though. It’s a warm Up not a practice 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@LoriLucas-wf8ss]

Thanks

[@Kieran-s2q]

I use the pink all the time and definitely see more fairways hit with control

[@ruggerboy600]

Hi Alex, why do you say the orange tee is the more risky shot ?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

It’s higher, so if you go wrong the impact can be greater

[@aaroncashmore3377]

Another great tip Alex and one I had not considered I always go straight to the orange tee. Can you HELP! 🤞 I have been fitted for some irons and have noticed a massive difference, I am hitting my irons consistently straighter and longer. My problem is when it comes to the driver/3 wood. I cannot get rid of my slice! No matter how many videos I watch I may hit one in 20 straight but most of them slice. As a result the big sticks usually get left in the bag which effects me when it comes to long par 5's. I've been working on my swing and have strengthend my grip but think my problem is closing the club face through impact. Have you any handy/easy tips or drills to get the feeling of closing the club face through impact. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍

[@golfer4713]

Wouldn't you widen stance too for the orange tee?

[@davidgriffiths4789]

could do with some help on hitting my driver in a left to right wind for faders of the ball small fade turns in to a big slice, not much videos on you tube on this thanks 👍

[@AlexElliottGolf]

video coming up tonight on this

[@mem30075]

Good one...although a more logical method then a cheat ;) In my case I need to be more cognizant of leaning back too much at times and topping the shot. Also, I use a 3H when I need a more strategic drive VS wide open Par 4/5 hole.

[@matthewsteadman1593]

Hi Alex, another great video. My question is, with driver, my bad shot comes from getting stuck on my back foot, causing a reverse pivot, hitting high left. I do not sway so cannot work out what I'm doing wrong. Any advice would be welcome, cheers Matt.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

tip incoming tonight

[@garystride5200]

Great video I hit a nice three wood just front middle stance, red tee, (as per my hybrids) grab driver, push it forward in stance it all goes a bit "slicey"with orange and pink😢, gonna try white bring it back worth a try, ohhh surely castle tees more consistent than norma teesl suppose you play so much have tee memory😂 thanks as per for your efforts.

[@garystride5200]

Ain't spam a bummer

[@TGS2AUSA2024]

Great tutorial

[@unloughfulgaming]

I did this randomly after hitting a high spinny shot into the wind. Teed it low set it about a ball and a half behind normal and I POUNDED IT 30-40 yards farther than my high one since I took the spin off. Pink is about where I am

[@Lindabraggketovore]

I’ll have to practice on the range and see the difference. I always use a martini tee on my drive.

This is great, however you don’t say what brand or link you are using

[@stefanomaniscalchi4983]

the tee height depends all by the loft that you use in your driver.For example if you use the orange tee and you have a driver with 12 or more loft then the ball will go straight to the.....moon

Would depend on the weather wind and the obstacles, so many people always tee up the ball wrong, perhaps you should mention this, there is no standard tee height, this will give watchers the wrong information

[@justindenton1552]

Alex, I am struggling with pulling and slicing everything l left. I am a left handed golfer and I am struggling hitting everything left. Help us left handed golfers off please 😂

[@kenbrown2808]

the things that helped me the most were that I was pulling my backswing too high, which was giving me the out-to-in swing path, and I wasn't closing the clubface. look through alex's videos for the towel drill, it helped me a lot in getting the club face closed, and he has several videos about fixing the out to in swing path - but really, the biggest thing is to look at the angle of your driver shaft as you address the ball. your backswing should be close to that same plane. also, I stopped trying to hit maximum swing speed. those are the basics, but really, I have been following Alex's tips as much as I have time to get on the range, and I was hitting a few draws on my last full range session.

[@Failsafefitness]

Not a cheat if I have done this since returning to golf in 2019

[@erichansen3641]

This won't work. You can't hit a golf ball with an upward angle of attack with a Driver by teeing the ball that low. What will happen is that you will hit the bottom of the club face which produces a weak hit and reduced distance. The ball must be teed at least 3 inches above the ground for a golfer to make contact in the center or upper center of the club face to get maximum distance. All the professional long drive champions tee the ball at least 3 inches above the ground, some 4 inches.
