with the latest tips drills product reviews things like that and today we're
talking about teen up your ball are you doing it wrong and you'd be surprised
how how such a simple task gets messed up so often for so many reasons today
I'm going to give you my top top mistakes people are doing wrong on the
tee and how to fix them so hopefully you can smash it down the fairway sort of
let's go
okay so we've got your three we're to call them are three basic T Heights okay
there's our driver height and you know you hear this all the time a lot of
people get this wrong however but you really want half of the ball on your
setup to just be slightly above the top line of the driver so just slightly
above so many times I see it way up here or way too low and it really is gonna
hurt where you strike the ball on the club face I know we have all different
swings and everybody's got different preferences and things like that and
certainly if you're hitting a low ball versus a high ball you're gonna make
those adjustments but in general you want it slightly above the top of the
clubface is gonna be a good driver height for you okay then you got your
3-wood height now so many times I I mean I see this all the time
through it I'm like what do you Nate and you see these guys are the dance and the
top either of clubface that's no good okay so I like that just my fingers to
touch a little bit on the grass for that when I put it in the ground boom my
fingers right there right when they're touching I'm good right there okay
that's fine again it's still that ball is about half of the ball is still
coming above the top of the clubface roughly but it gives me a just a little
bit off the ground like they though the height of let's say the width of your
finger would be perfect for your 3-wood
okay now all the rest all the rest of your shots including your wedges I think
this is a 9-iron here everything I'll tee up everything it's a 80 yard par 3
I'm teeing it up and I just barely get it off the ground now this is going to
really help you out with your all your iron should be right
there you know that tea is just like that much above the earth it's down
there so you can use one of those short teas or whatever but I mean I'm right
I'm right around there and you could see that that's what I like for all wedges
everything every iron okay right in there and you do that correctly you
actually get about five extra yards out of your irons so be careful when you're
playing let's say a wedge you agree it's gonna go a little bit farther because
it's teed up and it gives you it's just a little extra distance okay that's tee
height there's a few more issues that people are doing on the tee box let's go
okay whatever happens in your life do not let the do not let golf instructors
brainwash you into thinking you have to do certain things to achieve certain
results and if anybody ever starts a sentence with him I'm a certified
instructor and therefore you need to do that run away for your life okay and
don't stop run as if you're being chased by a dang mountain line okay so what do
people tell you in this situation a little dogleg to the right oh you need
to tee up way over here on the right side and play a fade what if you can't
play a fade and what do you do see they never they never mention that oh I've
never played a fade in my life so now I've got to try to play a favor
oh and I scull shank it okay so why would you do that what if you can't play
or or it's a dogleg to the left you need to tee up on the far right side to give
yourself the biggest possible well what if you don't play a draw see you've got
to ask these questions so that you can have the best results for you okay and
how first of all how do you see a golf hole how do you see this course where do
you feel comfortable personally over here do that I don't feel when I T off
right here way on this right side this giant tree is bothering me so I don't
feel comfortable looking at that they got all this dark stuff right I don't it
does suit my eye so I'm not comfortable I'm
uncomfortable and comfortability is one of the key factors in golf now I play a
little push so if I tee up over there I push around that tree so I play a push
cut or whatever but I push my ball a little bit so I from this side either
it's wide open over there I can push my ball and let it fade let it draw a
letter do whatever it wants to do but I'm not feeling the pressure of the
giant tree so now I've got the whole hole opened up to me
oh I like this all of a sudden and I see it how I like it
okay and I hit a push little draw so that's great
it's a dogleg right and I just played a draw doesn't make any sense but it does
if you don't let people just repeat information because everybody says it
don't listen to them listen to your feelings listen to your comfortability
level and set the hole up to where you feel comfortable and the shot you play
if you play a fade maybe that feels good to you if you play a draw maybe that
feels good to you maybe that feels good to you because of how you draw the ball
maybe the you know it all depends on how you feel and what shot you play let's
face it even Tiger Woods can't hit a draw on fade every time he wants to so
if you think you can't set up on the tee box for a drawn fade and pull it off
with consistency you're out of your mind you're more out of your mind then I'm
out of my mind okay you me we'd have to hit the shot we've got so setting up for
some other scenario is going to ruin your whole day
stop doing that set up for the shot you play if it's a dogleg right and you play
a draw dude don't play a fade okay it's not
gonna work all right so like what and then all of a sudden you're gonna be
here in the fairway and you're gonna call your shot again dude please you're
not going to do that oh I hit a nice draw the thing so I'm gonna hit a fade
now listen come on hit your shot not the shot that they say
you should hit I'm gonna hit the exact same shot I just hit a push draw cuz
that's what I got today 8-iron push draw that's my shot pins in the back I'm not
gonna mess around I don't care if it's on the right I'm playing my push draw
we'll worry about the rest after the fact
what do you know push draw right in the middle of the green because I didn't I
wasn't a nut job trying to play a shot I don't have today
or ever really and let's be honest uh we all get a
little crazy in our thoughts making oh I can I can I can play this game I'm
amazing there's uh there's times I have some good rounds and I come home I tell
my wife hey I mean if I work hard the next while I'll be on the Champions Tour
one day she's like ah ha ha she uncontrolled laughs I'm like you know
that is so discouraging you know how that hurts emotionally and she's like
are you serious you're gonna be beating these guys she's naming off names you're
gonna be those guys when they're when they're they're like yeah you're
probably right yeah right she's like you kidding me you got a broken wrist your
back went out I mean forget it but we think that we all have that level of
like oh I got this I got I could play this shot I could play that shot you
know the reality is you got what you got and my push draw didn't draw it pushed
and I'm on the green but I didn't try to play a big cut shot back to the pin or
anything because I played my shot if you play your shot you're gonna be so much
better and then then ever okay Oh
portable putt it doesn't matter what matters is play your shot off the tee
box not somebody else's and there's more stuff we're doing wrong out there we got
to get we got to get with the program okay here is a tee a teeing up I'm a
mistake something that I think you can use to your advantage that I don't see
people using enough all right you notice these mower marks okay very
important so I'm gonna put my ball right here on this mower line right here all
right now if I come directly behind the ball I noticed that I mean I'm I'm
eyeballing this I'm doing one of these guys Lee Janzen style or boom all right
guys like I'm and I look at that and I'm lining it up with my club right through
there and I see okay this is aiming at the
very far right side of the green okay so that's good I know that if I match up
you know me too here okay this is just a great and now I know because I'm spare
allel with that mower line that's far right side of the green okay great I
don't want to aim there so now all I'm gonna do is slightly turn everything
just to the left now I should be perfectly at that stick well that's a
good one okay so that's something easy you can use
these things are already here so use them to your advantage and know that hey
sometimes like I said right now what's my shot okay here's something to also
consider what did I say my shot was push draw right okay good and what did I do
that shot well the push draw and so I aimed at the stick it pushed a little
right and drew so if I'm hitting a push draw all day well guess what if I aim at
the right side of the green that could be pretty good so now I'm just like okay
aim with the mower line and I know I'm perfect and I'm comfortable because I've
got some alignment aids already they're helping me out so I could just hit the
shot I'm hitting all day
that was right at it it hit the dang wire um get it free shot
but it was going right right at the flagstick probably went in hit the table
I don't think you've seen that in the air but that's what happened so use the
mower lines as guides to help you it's almost like cheating it's totally legal
hey guys thanks for watching these were my top tips and mistakes that we're all
doing on the tee box and ways that we can use the tee box to our advantage and
have the best possible outcome imaginable hopefully that's the that's
