THE NEW WAY TO TEE THE DRIVER FOR ACCURACY AND LOW SPIN! | GOLF WRX | WISDOM IN GOLF |

THE NEW WAY PGA TOUR PLAYERS TEE THE BALL WITH THE DRIVER THESE DAYS FOR MORE ACCURACY WITHOUT COMPROMISING DISTANCE WITH TODAY'S LOW SPIN DRIVER IS with the lower tee. HOW LOW SHOULD IT BE? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO TO FIND OUT! Mu tested our theory out successfully in Mesquite, Nevada, at the Pro Long Drive this last weekend with a big 338 drive into a 2 club wind on a slow grid!

Can confirm this works. We all get told tee it high hit up blah blah blah. But I hit hardly any fairways. So I started working on a lower trajectory fairway finder and turned out I just hit it way better teed up low. Been trying to get attack angle hovering around 0. So far I’ve been hitting more fairways but the biggest thing is my misses haven’t been anywhere near as big. Less curve and more predictable. Also I went from 7.5 deg loft up to 10 which also had. A big impact. I’m not hitting had many out to 320+ but I’ll take 300-310 in the fairway over 320-330 in someone else’s fairway.

Hi Shawn

My comment is not relative to today's video but an oldie but goldie video of yesteryear.. I've been really struggling lately so I waded through your old videos "what to do when you lose your swing"

Your old video was a life saver for my game. I played the whole round with only one swing thought -OUT OF THE WAY-OUT OF THE WAY !

It slowed down my tempo and blocked out all other swing thoughts about positions, straight left arm etc etc.

Shawn that video was 2015 but still valid 7 years later. Thanks for all you do.

Just watching you consistently for about 2 months, off and on for the 2 and half years I’ve played. I’ve fixed my swing. I carry driver anywhere from 270-290, learned how to play 4 different shots with driver. Yesterday I hit 2 par 4s. I hit a 283 with a fade right over tree line on the left side. Then never hit the green on 18. It’s 305 uphill, hit the draw. Guy at the clubhouse said he’s only ever saw one other person hit it off the tee and the guy hit it with his wood

[jamesmccarty]

The lower tee height was pretty prevalent at the PGA Championship this weekend. Great tip!

[drqhdebeer]

I always thought this is the way to do it, it makes more sense to me. I started having issues controlling the driver since teeing it high, so this is a welcome piece of advice! Thank you 🙏

[phynamite]

I have started teeing it low to hit a Cut Fade with some power behind it. It’s far easier to control on my end, and yeah I lose probably 10 total yards, but I’m not a pro, I’d rather play from the fairways, and with this set up I can do it consistently.

Watched Mu and Savs LD comp yesterday. Both did amazingly well for being their first time. Mu hit some bombs and Sav accuracy was impeccable in that playoff. It’s too bad they don’t let some of these new comers introduce themselves on the stream but it was really impressive to watch some of those drives. I think they both have a shot at being highly competitive. Sav I think has a bit of a head start due to the smaller field but Mu was keeping up with a bunch of those guys. I liked seeing Mu set the intermediate point throwing the tee out in front of his drive. Great job y’all.

[jaisin]

Thank you Shawn for everything you share, literaly 90% of my swing is being built around your wisdom. . Question tho, what is your club angle. 9° 10.5?

[markholdenlanzarote]

Quality. Would like a front cam shot to actually see the ball position for draw and fade.

[robinfranklin]

I used the lower tee that was about 1/8" lower than what I was using today, with a lot of wind and even though it my second round after 6 months of not playing, due to injury, I hit more fairways than usual and got good distance, and i wasthinkingaboutloweringmy tee hight and this video confirmedot. I even hit a low driver shot that you showed in the premium channel and it didn't get above the trees at all.

[HUYNGUYEN-jpxo]

I like the ground as a training aid, and it cheap!

[creamabdul-jabbar]

Always thought there was too much emphasis put on teeing it high and off the front foot. I know for me I get way more compression doing it this way than the other. I think learning this would be more feasible for most amateur golfers also then the tee it high rule.

[creamabdul-jabbar]

Problems for me have stemmed when I get the ball forward and higher tee. Still working on not focusing on the ball, it’s helped a lot but this works a lot better for me where I play because 4 of the 6 fairways I need to pull driver are tight where I play

[huskerchris]

I have been doing this but also choke up so to hit like a 3 wood. Works pretty well if I am struggling or not warmed up yet. But next practice session I will try thus full length and see what happens. I don't always think of these things on my own - haha

[ottawapop]

Interesting. I’ll give it a try but I doubt I have enough club head speed to pull this off and still maintain reasonable distance

[spritely]

I’d like to get him with more loft because that peak height is just far too low. Could have the same exact effect on consistency but actually still get it out to 280-290.

[basjanvanheerden]

Hey Shawn, I see you and Mu pickup your trailing(right) foot before you start your backswing I presume as n trigger, think you should do a video on that😉👍

[vincegarcia]

Bringing the ball back to center was challenging today. took me a bit to figure out the new swing (level swing) I want better accuracy and not miss the fairways. Staying low to the ground is tough. rather than getting the upward and out swing. if anything. had the snap hook today

[nomullies]

Would a higher lofted driver, mine are 12+, help with this swing? I too have trouble creating that upward angle of attack but no problem with fairway woods off very low tee height. My miss is often a dead pull.

[sevenoranges]

I'll try this today. 1. Should I set up for a slight fade with the tee this low? 2. Am I trading carry for roll (which I have no issue with as long as I am on the fairway). 3. Hitting down on the ball can cause some wild mishits. As an amateur how can I train for a lower arc at the bottom of my swing please?
