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.

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!

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!

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.

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…

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!

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! 😊

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!

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 👍

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

@kenbrown2808 Жыл бұрын
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.

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.
