Perfect tee height for irons – hit your irons further from the tee

Should you use a tee on the tee box on a par three for your irons? And if you use a tee for your irons, how high should you tee up the golf ball? What is the difference between a high or a low tee for your irons? All those questions will be answered in this golf instuction video of We Play Golf. With a different tee height you can fly your golf ball heigh or low. A tee makes the tee shot easier. A beginner golfer can use a little higher tee.

Thank you, video how to place the club correctly on the ground was wonderfull. I have been playing golf for years, has lessons and no one has ever explained why. No wonder I had the sideways shot!!!!

This is an excellent tip! I've always teed up my irons, but still tried to hit down on them and take a divot. This tip will help me change that and get a cleaner, more pure strike on the ball. Thank you!

GREAT advice - thanks! I found this on my own through trial and error, but have had a few friends tell me they think teeing higher with an iron is just "wrong". I like that this does have an effect on shot shape.

Great advice. Only started golfing regularly this summer. Par 3 and using irons off the tee have been a disaster. Only raised tee last day out and made a huge difference. Better contact with the ball. Will implement your advice later today 👍

Thanks for the video. Will try this next time I’m on the course

[unknownKnownunknowns]

Thank you. Should we try to compress the ball when hitting off the tee in the same manner we do when hitting it off the fairway?

[dnkuch]

Best video ever! Helped me a lot for the par 3s. Thanks a lot

[Levikrw]

Great video! I left my driver in the bag this weekend and used my 3 iron off the tee, I went from consistent mid to high 90’s and broke into the 80’s! The tee heights you mentioned I will be using this weekend! I love the consistency

[dnkuch]

Love it! Great video and well explained. This helps a lot. Just started teeing up the ball for par 3s this year and all is clear now

[aaronfox]

Great video, thank you very much! I'm going to implement this technique when I play next Tuesday!

[justonemori]

Thanks for the tip. I never thought to do this. I'm hitting it furder now!

How much does wind factor into this? If there's a strong headwind, do you want to keep the ball lower? And vice versa, would you want to launch the ball up higher if you want to take advantage of a tailwind?

Hello fromCanada! Found your video very informative thank you. Great to see content from Belgium, since my family is from the Antwerp area .

What the heck did the ball do at 1:15?

[jamestoomey]

do you play the ball off your left heel and hit up on the ball as if you were using a driver? I've had no luck hitting down on the ball with a short tee on Par 3. Thanks.

[daveesper]

It's a diaster for me to tee off using irons Im new to the game no matter if I set the tee high or low I'm hooking the ball something terrible what advice do you have for me

[musicrawks]

Am I the only one that noticed the ball glitch out at 1:16?

[BlixTV_be]

I saw another magic ball at 1:15 :) Is it an easter egg?

[breezybears]

What is the scenario here? New to golf. I tee off with a driver and then I was told when I get to the fairway, I use an iron like a 7 or 9 but I wasn’t taught to put a tee. Is that only when you get the the next whole? Or a shorter distance?

[troyburress]

I have always been taught that the only club you should ever strike the ball on upswing with is the driver. Irons and fairway woods should impact the ball first on the downswing compressing the ball and causing it to spin off the grooves on clubface.
