This article cured my driver slice!

So I've had a pretty wicked driver slice ever since time began. I read this article today where statistics showed that a higher tee is the best option for when you break out your driver. I love statistical proof (I work in digital marketing!) and decided to try this on the course.

I was pinging drives straight down the middle of every fairway and I was hitting further than I have for a long time. This was literally the only change I made by raising my tee by 1cm.

Cured!!!!!

That is very interesting reading,I might give a high tee a go tomorrow,hmmmm...

It's the reduced spin or something apparently. I couldn't believe that this was what I was missing all these years. It actually made my driving a joy!

i dunno i seem to play a better drive using a smaller white castle tee as apose to the pink ones i have just stopped using. And when i try the grey ones all i do is sky it, so yes it goes straight the article is right but straight up in the air haha

I've promoted myself from pink to orange... kept catching them a little low on the face with the pink. Can't stand the grey ones as I can never find 'em.

Im a convert to the pink castles now. Consistent height and opening up my stance seems to have cured my slice

Great read though

If, by raising your tee by 1cm has cured your slice, brilliant, but I'm scratching my head here

 

[timchump]

the distance is in carry not overall,
i would expect drives teed down to carry less but would have roll much further

still going to give it a try though

your not the only one. i tee my ball up as high as anyone. if this is me with a reduced spinrate then im in trouble.

 

[garyinderry]

oh and if this was true, you would be out of a job bob! lol

The only common info a have received from a multiple amount of pros is that a lower height too promotes a steeper swing which has more chance in producing a fade, where as a higher tee promotes a flatter swing to hit on the up which has more chance of a draw...

I have plyed about with tees recently, I always used the old fashioned type but decided I wasnt getting a consistant height. I tried the yellow castle ones and was getting too much heinght so am now using the white ones, which seem to give the most consistancy for me.

How do you rate the DXI driver ?

I have considered trying this soon

To be honest Wolfman, I have nothing to compare it too, the last driver I had was an old fashioned wooden headed one. That said I do like it.

I tried a higher tee and found I was always hitting out of the top of the face. Not skying it but the amount of spin was horrendous.

I tee it much lower now and hit it out if the middle(.....ish).

I used to fade it with a high tee, I still fade it with a low tee. I'm with Bob on this :thup:

Glad it worked for you !

I've noticed more and more people at my club , and the pro's on tv are teeing the ball much lower these days. Most instruction normally tells you that the 50% of the ball should be above the driver face and 50% beneath it........

For anyone want consistent height on a wooden tee then bee's tee are the most flexible options I've found.
