Since the introduction of all the new large head drivers (380 - 460cc) it's been found
that the sweet spot is much higher on the club face than with the older drivers.
Therefore to take advantage of the additional size and sweet spot you need to tee
your ball higher than in the past.
A leading golf magazine recently did a test with golfers of all handicaps. They had them hit a number of drives with their balls teed as they normally would. Then they hit a another
series of drives with the balls teed higher than normal, in some cases twice as high.
The results were pretty impressive. They averaged a 20 yard increase in distance, some
a little more some a little less. Certainly reason enough to give it a try yourself.
Here's the best way to go about it:
1.) Tee you ball up high, about 2x usual height, using the 2 ? " tee.
2.) Hold the driver above the ground aligning the ball with the sweet spot on the club face during approach/ or set-up.
3.) Now, simply relax your wrists allowing the club head to fall to the ground..notice the club head is not directly behind the ball...it should be lined up more on the toe of the club.
4.) Note the higher the ball is teed up the farther the club head will be from the ball...this will allow the correct geometry to take place especially at impact.
So give it a try -tee 'em high and watch 'em fly!
