I asked for this and you delivered beyond expectation. You explained everything anyone needs to know. Very much appreciate your videos on a daily basis. Roll on 100k and more, cheers mate
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.
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.
Excellent as always. I am driving with the orange castle as it seems to give me more confidence when striking the ball. Can you do a session on hitting hybrids off the fairways as I really struggle with this
Just like you, broken pegs for irons from the tee 😂😂! You're right, so important tee height. Personally I would go for a bit higher for my driver shots.
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 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.
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!
I knew a guy now passed away who use to play Golf on Sunday with us and collect broken tees Next week he would arrive at golf and they would be glued together have nails I them whatever he could to cobble some more life in to them The amount of time he would have spent was insane on it He even refused to accept offers of tees so he wouldn't have to Tight arse to the day he died
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.
I won't use one of my top quality balls if I go to the first tee box without any warm-up. The problem comes if I make a birdie or par with that ball. The superstitious part of me won't let me change balls until I make bogey or worse
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.
Same exact superstition. If I’m hitting iron, I must find a broken tee. And if there isn’t one, I snap a long one. Why snap a long one and not just put it all the way in the ground?? Cause we’re strange people, Alex. 😂
Alex use plastic shortie. They are wonderful. Superstition using new ball after hitting out of bounds. Need to clean clubs after every shot As doctor all needs to be tidy and clean.
The only superstition I have is I won't take a ball I find on the course Caught someone once taking mine thinking they had "found" a ball Regardless of whether anyone is about I will not Pick up found balls on the course
Thanks for tuning in from wherever you are!
I just look for broken tees in the tee box and use them or if not on a par 3 I’ll put it in my pocket
Thanks for the lessons. We love them in NY, Alex!

Great video. I’m a beginner and this was very helpful.
Beautiful explanation thanks 👍 How did you play in the qualifying tournament?
Alex, that was good, basic info on the tee heights. The use of the foam noodle to illustrate WHY it works is brilliant. Well done.

Thanks never given the T heights a lot of thought before, but I will now

With the irons and driver I'm with you. On the hybrids I wasn't so sure. This will help a lot. Thanks alex👏👏
Excellent explanation. Very easy to follow.
Like the video Alex makes a lot of sense. Wasn't quite sure on the tee height for a hybrid but now I know. I use the pink castle ones for my driver
Will bare this in mind when i go to the range

Just what I needed - I feel like I’m teeing up too high most of the time with all my clubs and will be working on this.
Thought it was just me who had this tee superstition! Another great video Alex. Keep them coming
Love this and just what I needed thank you
Good to hear! Thanks for tuning in
Great tips again 😀
Excellent video
Explained and demonstrated well thx you 🍻🇨🇦
What are the measurements of the tees that you are using kindly advise thanks for your help Jack
I have to use white wood tee's , as for teeing up an iron (par 3'z) I buy short white wood tee's just for irons
Same, broken tees only for irons and hybrids
Always want my clubs in a certain position in my bag, if they get mixed up I will sort it before I do anything else on the course!
Just like you, broken pegs for irons from the tee 😂😂! You're right, so important tee height. Personally I would go for a bit higher for my driver shots.
Thank you for this. Just getting started golfing. I was thinking the tee height must take into account the arc of the swing.
This video is perfect!

So are we looking for a one finger height for hybrids as well? I assume so.

Does it make it weird hitting down at the ball if it’s teed up for an iron? Something’s not clicking for me
it does take some getting used to for sure !

Beast 5 wood. Love my Cobra 5 wood. New late
Last year.
Tee height does vary if you hover your driver.
What about hybrid? I carry 3-5. Thanks Alex.😀
Broken tees.. haha.. OCD... I always have to have a small red towel in my back pocket..
I tend to hit a driver better with a snapped tee than a full length one
I won't use one of my top quality balls if I go to the first tee box without any warm-up. The problem comes if I make a birdie or par with that ball. The superstitious part of me won't let me change balls until I make bogey or worse
What balls are you playing, looking for a lower launch ball.
Can’t wear a belt anymore, no matter how large the shorts/pants. Played my best golf when I forgot it one round, now it is a staple
@:50 How do you break a tee in your pocket?
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
My only current superstition is remembering to pick up my wedge off the edge of the green after putting and not leaving it behind 😂

I can't bear to have 3 consecutive 6s on a scorecard. Just can't do it.
I HAVE to wear shorts when playing golf.
Thanks
We are all happy you have some pants on
Alex use plastic shortie. They are wonderful. Superstition using new ball after hitting out of bounds. Need to clean clubs after every shot
As doctor all needs to be tidy and clean.
have my little good luck token to help me
Your superstition is hilarious considering mine is to never use broken tees from the box 😂
Mate i use broke ones all the time, waste not want not😅
Fix my hook.
I have to wear the same pair of socks for every round 😎
The only superstition I have is I won't take a ball I find on the course
Caught someone once taking mine thinking they had "found" a ball
Regardless of whether anyone is about I will not Pick up found balls on the course
No such thing as luck,you may as well believe in 🦄
Nope I never use anyone's else's tee! Bad juju I use plastic tees so I get a 1"and 3.5" in the same pak
I dont like plastic tees
Mine is that I have to play shirtless as superstition and take a shot of fireball before each tee off
I don't believe in superstition, its bad luck.
