good stuff.... typically only hit 54WPW/9i off a tee.... on PAR3s @ same tee height (1-finger) for best results. Rarely not using a tee. When using a 3/4/5H off tee, use a similar height.... just let the club do the work ;). Driver usually tee height where the ball is a bit higher than the club head.... or higher for wide open fairways.

Brilliant, Alex. This is such a critical component of managing your tee shot and is often overlooked. Most amateurs tee it up too high with irons and woods leading to poor strikes. Even with driver, I would rather tee it low with a shallow angle of attack to neutralize launch. Great stuff. Keep up the good work!

AEG, I came very close to not watching this video .. I thought .. I've been hitting correct tee heights for years .. but I thought.. give it a chance. And everything you said, I agreed with .. then you brought out the pool noodle. And I had a eureka! moment. Because my arms are shorter, on really fast swings the club head comes inside quickly promoting a fade/slice .. the pool noodle doesn't just go straight through and straight back .. the arc actually goes slightly inside to square to inside so I have to match my distance to the ball with the impact point to get a draw/straight/fade shot! A eureka! moment. Thanks.

I refuse to use a tee that’s already in the ground. Like one pressed low someone has already used for an iron shot. If it’s too close to where I want to tee off I’ll pull it out and use a new tee or any other broken tee laying around. I suppose given that the tee has survived I imagine it has already used up the one good shot a tee possesses.

With an iron, I to use a broken tee, or I some times have a couple of short tees, Callaway, I have had them for a couple of years! Plastic with a rubber rim, they last for ever. For my driver and fairway woods I often use brush Tee's. They last for ever as well.

Broken tee superstition! It’s my good luck ritual since my teen years for when my game starts to suffer. I look at it as the broken and used have a story, just like me. I see the value in others experiences. For irons, I’m usually right off the deck.

I normally use a broken tee for irons too, but I've been using the plastic ones that have one of 2 lengths, one for driver and one for irons. But if there's one sitting there I always use it. Why risk losing or breaking a perfectly good tee. 😂

Actually I do have two rules about tees, always use plastic unbreakable tees and never ever bye tees. It sounds strange but I have not purchase any tees over the last 10 years starting pretty much with brush tees and following the set of three purchased all others were found on various tee boxes around the US.

No superstitions, though I do use broken tees sometimes. Just because I'm tight fisted! Otherwise it's castle tees for consistency. Red for irons and hybrids, blue for fairway woods and pink for driver. I have hundreds of them but have never bought one in my life! Talking about tight, I once found a pink tee from which the point had broken. Someone had gone to the trouble of drilling it and putting in the point of a broken wooden one!

For me it’s bad luck using a tee that I find, I think the player who used it hit a bad shot and blamed the tee. I use a short tee for irons and a Nike white black striped tee my brother gave me, I have to start and finish the round with the same tee. Crazy no? Lol I can’t help it

Hi Alex My superstition is that I will never play a single shot with anyone else’s ball I find regardless of condition or make as I think if they have lost it then I will do the same. I will only ever play with a ball I have bought myself! Found balls are only ever used on the range before I actually play.

Wise practice. I once found a shiny Pro V1 in the trees (about the 14th hole); so played it the rest of the round. After the round I finally noticed the Pro V1 had what looked like a factory defect, a pimple-like bump in one spot. Doubt it affected flight much but no telling what it did to my putts.
