Golf Tip - Tee it right, to hit it longer!

The RIGHT way to take advantage of that new larger 'sweet spot'.

Today's larger drivers have a sweet spot that is higher on the club face than ever before. Tee the ball up high, really high, to take advantage of your new driver's expanded sweet spot.

1) Why? - The right tee height allows you to optimize your launch angle, by hitting the ball slightly on the upswing.

2) How High? - The ideal tee height will have half the golf ball above the top edge of your driver. This ensures optimal launch angle with the right kind of spin.

3) How? - Why do you think all those new longer tees are being sold in the pro shop? Equipment manufactures know that today's 460cc drivers perform better when the ball is teed up higher.

Another easy way to increase your distance off the tee is to move your ball position forward - way forward.

To accommodate your new high tee, and to make solid contact on the right part of your driver, make sure that the ball is teed forward in your stance between four to six inches. For the average golfer this ball position will look very far forward, but trust it. You will hit the ball farther this way.

This farther forward position encourages you to fully transfer your weight down the target line and enhances a full extension. The greater the extension, the more swing speed you generate. Swing speed equals distance.
