How far in the ground do I place a golf tee?
I am an extremely good golfer, but I keep driving the ball short because of the tee position. If there is a website, or video explaining the best position for the golf tee, that would be magnificent. Please help. Thank-you.
an extremely good golfer would know
Really depends on what club you are hitting if it is a driver the should be in the front of your stance (in step of left foot) as you progress down the set move the ball closer to the middle of your stance
Extremely good golfer or not, you need to find out what kind of angle driver is coming up when there is contact with the ball. If your coming at a sharp downward angle, you’re going to lose distance if you tee up the ball too high.
Rule of thumb is you want to tee up the ball, so half of the ball is above the driver. Personally, I love teeing it up higher but I have a nice upward angle upon contact.
This here is a very classic way to tee it up
That’s the half ball rule. It’s because he expects an upward angle. You don’t need a video, you just need a little trial and error.
Remember, extremely good golfer’s take the time to practice every little thing. From putting all the way to teeing up the ball the same way every time.
It’s usually personal preference. I tee mine up about half a ball above my resting driver or fairway wood head. With my 4 hybrid (which is more like an iron with a steroid head) and below, I pick up a stubby tee that’s usually littered around the tee box. Oddly enough with my 3 hybrid, it’s a ball and a half above the resting head. I’ve even seen people tee off with a fairway wood without a tee and it would work for them.
First of all, let’s dispel a myth that you have stated in your question : How you tee your ball does not determine distance. It sounds like your driver does not fit your swing, but you would need to provide a lot of details in order to get a good answer about that.
The best way to tee your ball is the way that allows you to make center contact with a slightly ascending swing.
Just use your extremely good golfing senses. If that doesn’t work, try some F&*^%$% trial of error, for gosh sakes
An extremely good golfer would have overcome any driving problem which was the result of teeing his ball either too low or too high. The rule of thumb to determine the proper height is to have the equator of the ball above the crown of the driver. The ball is positioned slightly ahead of center of the stance and the swing path is such that the ball is struck on the upswing.
