Okay, here we're gonna be discussing driver tee height. The best tee height for a driver is actually a ball high. So if you just place your ball off to the side to the tee up to the height, and you'll see in this case that's a little too low. And then that's the problem with most people in their team their drivers up. So again, put the ball off to the side you can see the property height, and that will get you a pretty solid shot. As you can see the driver sitting behind the ball is over the top that is needed in the Gospel next We will change the tee height down a little bit and I've gone down to about half ball.
Now when you tee it lower, the ball will strike a lower on the clubface normally towards the bottom of the club towards the heel. This will cause the ball to go lower and off to the right. So this can help if you're trying to hit a shot that goes off to the right but it is a cause that most players do when they're playing golf and they're missing their shots off to the right for a right handed golfer. Now this next one I'm going to tee up slightly higher than I would on my normal height. And what I'm looking for here is to hit the ball more We're in the top of the club towards the toe of the club. And when you hit it higher in the club face towards the toe, you actually can make the ball go higher or you can make the ball go up and move to the left which some people call the hook or draw.
Great shot either on corners or just to get the ball up in the air. Now another great tee height that a lot of people don't know about. This is something I use with my tour players. If you tee your ball extremely low, you're actually hitting the ball on the lowest point of the golf club. And this is the actual flattest part of the golf club. And when the ball hits in this area on the low part, it goes quite straight.
So if you just need to hit a shot straight, this is the best tee height. Again, it doesn't go as far As a ball is teed up properly, but it does go pretty straight. So those are great tips for you. And let's see. So welcome to class on this one here we're going to be talking about tee height and we're going to be using iron. So what we'll do is we'll start from the ground first.
The club I'm using is a nine iron and what I want you to look at is where the ball is sitting on the ground based on the golf club will hit low on the club face. The tee kind of demonstrates the launch angle of where the ball will come out. So if you look at this, you can see the tee height is on the top of the golf ball, which is pretty good. Pretty good height for an iron shot. So when you do t this club, you do have to be careful about teaching it to high people. Due to too high, so this T could be a little bit lower but should get a pretty good ball strike off that again, that is a nine, nine.
The next club I'm going to grab is a five iron. Now the launch angle is quite a bit different to what you see in a nine iron. nine iron does travel shorter does go higher though, or a five iron goes longer but a little bit lower in launch angle. So as you'll see, we'll use a tee and what I want you to look at is how the T is coming across the golf ball that's now in the middle of the golf ball. So definitely the launch angle is quite a bit different here. We'll do a comparison again at the nine iron table look at where the tea is.
It's on top of the golf ball. So that will travel quite high. This club typically a Niner and flies anywhere from 100 to 140 yards. And a five iron will travel as far as 160 to 200 yards in distance. You can see when it's pointing right at you. Hello, it'll come out.
And again we'll, we'll see the direction of the nine iron when it's pointed at you. You can see how high it goes. So hopefully this helps with your irons
