Effortless Powers NOW Started With THIS Driver Tee Height!!

Every golfer wants more distance with driver, but swinging harder rarely delivers the results especially if you have your tee height WRONG. This was the case for Scott, a mid-handicap golfer who noticed not only he was teeing it up wrong with driver, in fact, there was some other key issues that caused mis-hits, poor timing, and no control.

In this video, Alex Elliott (Top 50 coach) reveals the new tee height and set up tweak that creates effortless power with driver that most amateurs overlook, but pros use naturally. If you’ve noticed your distance dropping off, or your failing to hit driver as long as it should, or you’re putting a lot into driver but not achieving the distance, ball flight you wanted then this could be a total game-changer.

the way you swing it, the way I’m going to put this to you. It’s got disaster written all over it. We’re all told to tee it high and let it fly. But for one second, could that be wrong for you? Well, yes is the answer to that question for Scott. He was doing just that, trying to hit up on it massively. Tee it high and all that was happening. He was hitting it shorter and shorter and just beautiful. But with one minor adjustment to tea height and ball position, this made all the difference. So the consistency, even though it’s to me something fairly new, the consistency is already starting to improve. He’s now on his way to effortless power. Beauty. So what was your thought? Yeah. So my thought process was tee it higher. Yeah. Um very much trying to sort of lean back and address um so that when I’m delivering the club, I’m trying to hit it in the top third, okay, of the club face and very much on the up swing. Okay. Now, I know unfortunately I do have a propensity to get the body early. Yeah. And that means I’m then coming up or coming into the ball probably delivering it on a downward angle. Yeah. And you’re teen at that height. Yeah. So that’s making that scenario. So it’ll just pop up in the air. Yeah. And we we saw one of them on the course. Okay. So, I just want to let me just grab a golf club here. Y because I think this is a really interesting concept because is it safe to say let me grab just a let’s just use a wedge for example. Is it safe to say that you’re trying to hit up on it? Yes. Like really trying. Okay. So, do you move the ball position forward anyway? Yes. Okay. Right. Now, whether I’m effective in that is another matter, but So, like stand there for us. And this is why I I think I mean I’m I’m looking at that tea height and I’m like way you swing it. Yeah. The way I’m gonna put this to you, it’s got disaster written all over it. Yeah. Yeah. A friend of mine every time he sees me te it up, it gives him the fear as he calls it. So So have a look at this here. Right. So if I rest that on there and I have that here. Would it be safe to say that moving the ball forward in my stance anyway is going to help me hit up? Yeah. Okay. So you having that idea is almost doing what? Making it even more so. Sure. Right. But you know your swing is chopping down on it. So delivering it a little bit like this. So what would be the best compromise for you would be a slightly lower tea height to start with anyway. And I’m not saying chop down on it. What I’m trying to say to you here is that’s teed far too high. And just look at this. Right. So, everyone thinks that making the same move with all clubs is wrong. Mhm. But if I get into my left side with my wedge, which is this club, look how much shaffling I have. Sure. But look how much shaffling I have with driver. Yeah. Less because of what? Yeah. Because the ball is slightly further forward. So for me, I I really don’t like your setup. I know that sounds really bloody. That’s what what I want to hear. I want to I want brutal. You’re you’re re let’s go for it. You’re really wide and then you’ve got this idea of getting really behind it. I want to encourage us to get narrower. Te it lower. Move the ball slightly back in your stance. And now that’s completely different. Right. Mhm. Because you’ve also got to look at what’s really going to help you improve. So your bad shot is a little leap to the right. Yes. And a little bit over the top. Y. So putting your ball forward in your stance is going to complement that because you’re going to swing further to the left. But is it going to help us improve that? No. Because you’re always going to have to swing left when the ball is forward. Because look, if it’s really far forward, where’s my club now swinging? Yeah. What direction? Yeah. If I move it back in my stance, what direction is it now swinging? Yeah, it’s more on target. So, that’s really going to help us. So, let’s explore to start with the ideas of the setup. Now, we’ve had a lesson before, and I’ll remind everybody what we said there, cuz for me, technically, that’s all I want you to do. Sure. The same as what we said in the iron lesson. Y, but with this driver setup. Sure. Okay, this is going to be exciting for you because you’re going to stand there going, “Oh my god, how’s this going to work?” But like the tour average now, I had a lesson with a guy called Anders and he was telling me the tour average now on tour is about one and a half on the down, which actually surprised me a lot. I thought it was about a half a degree on the down because now what what do all these drivers the marketing is? This is the fastest face, the most forgiving and the lowest spinning driver that you can get. Why do we need to make it more low spin and hitting up on it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Maybe 20, 30 years ago, you’d have to because of the tech. Y now I don’t think that is anything what you need to do. Let the club do the work. Right. Okay. So have a look at this now for reference here. Correct me if I’m wrong here, Scott. That’s probably about what you were. Yeah. Yeah. At least. And now that’s where we’re going with this. Yeah. Okay. Right. That’s the first thing I’d like you to do. They’re the differences. This is new. This is old. This is old. This is new. Well, if I show you the two tea heights that I carry. Do you ever use this one? Yeah. The the anti- slice. Yeah. I I found it. I didn’t buy it. How’s the anti-slice tea going? But again, I’ve got hundreds of these. I’ll use the shorter one. But I think now you’re going to you’re going to hate me, but go and buy the T. I mean, Tiger now uses this tea. Well, not now uses it. I went on the tour truck and this is the length of tea he uses. He’s pretty good. Yeah. The reason why moving the ball back, we’ve just said, so you were here on this part of the arc. We’re proposing to move that back to help you access this with better mechanics that you’ve got in the back swing. So, let’s just briefly remind everybody if you just stand here, Scott, don’t make that new setup yet. We’ll get into that in a second. So, we just spoke about in the back swing trying to feel that we keep this club face more at the ball for longer and this feeling of this right arm being more in one line to stop this long collapsing look to that back swing. So, that’s what I’m saying is what I want you to do. Now, I want to move that ball to start with into the middle of your stance. Yeah. Narrower with the stance because I’ve been there. Yes. We want to be there. Now, I don’t think this is where we’re going to end up. No, no, no. But, but we’ve got to go through a bit of a process here and and I want everybody to do this. I want to go lower and go with this bit of process. And it does take a little bit of tinkering. And it’s different for everybody. I swing it different to you, different for me. But right now, what you were doing is just really not helping you out. Okay. Right. Let’s go with this first ball. We’re going to hit a little five here. So, I want you to have the same swing thoughts we’ve spoken about. Narrower. Narrower. That’s it. Yeah. See, that feels about five iron width. Good. Okay, that’s a great reference point. Yeah, that’s a great reference point for us. I felt myself get flat. Almost felt like I was I was sort of coming in that way. Yeah, I would say a little bit like that. Yeah, would disagree. Okay, let’s move it a tiny bit further forward. There was probably an element of me not trusting it. Well, definitely. There. I think that te’s broken to be fair. It’s gone a little bit too much into the ground. So, move it a little further forward this time. I don’t want you to hit it straight away. I just want to get a bit of a video of this setup for us. Wait there. A bit narrower. Bit narrower. That’s it. Wait there. Okay. Just pause. Don’t go yet. I am ready whenever you are, sir. Beautiful drive. Beautiful drive. Now, that was beautiful hit. Yeah, that would play. I just want you to have a look at what that smash factor just say. Yeah. 1.5. You can’t get any better. No. For what you’re putting in to what you’re getting out. Yep. I’m not too worried about, you know, fairly low club speed because we’ve changed something. Yeah. So, you know, I’m not going to go Yeah. I’m not going to go full power for a swing. So, here you go. Here’s your reference point for where that ball position was. Now, how tidy does that look? Yeah. Now bear in mind, right, you feel like this. Yeah, it’s great. So, ball position in there for reference. And I want it to stay there now with that ball position. Yeah. It’s probably I’m going to say where fairway wood would be. Yeah. Yeah. Say sort of four forward, something like that. Yeah. Now, this is your swing. It’s a little long on the right hand side here. So, we could do the things we spoke about a little better, but that’s still pretty new. And if you missed what we did in last lesson, it was an iron lesson and we really worked on having better structure through the takeaway and a squarer club face at the top of the back swing. And essentially, we said to Scott, we could feel a little bit more compact through that back swing. It’s something that I’d like to see him do with driver, but right now, let’s get back to this T height and ball position video. But what I really like is now you can afford to be a little down on the ball. Yeah. and everything’s complementing that and you’re like, “Okay, so what I say to you here is whenever you’re working on your game, you’re working on the driver. You’re working on the irons, right? Let’s hit another one.” Yeah. And I and I think for you, it’s almost like you’ve you’ve seen on the internet that I need to tee it high and let it fly. But it’s probably quite liberating now for someone to go, you know what, you don’t need to do that. So, let’s hit another few. Let’s hit three more here. Let’s really test oursel. Like we saw 83 club head speed there, 125 ball speed. Let’s see if we can get more than that. Yeah. Okay. So again, keep reference point. Let’s have a look at that tee on your club here. Yeah. Okay. So it’s probably a quarter of a ball above the face. Okay. And then the ball position was like sort of hybrid. Yeah. Fair we would. Yeah. Rather than before. Just show everybody before where that was in terms of ball position. I’d have been there and then at Yeah. Absolutely. at least that I’m very much sort of angling to sort of try and make sure I’m almost in the extreme. But but you’re already behind it, right? Because it’s up in your stance more than let’s say a seven iron or more than let’s say any of those other clubs like a like an iron. So you don’t need to. Yeah. No. Almost exacerbating it. Exactly. And then when you hit down on it, if I just take that off you there. Well, look why you’d hit those pop ones. Yeah. Just And it just wasn’t complimenting you. And golf’s about finding something that complements you. Right. Let’s go again. Yeah. Yeah. I mean that last one. Yeah. I mean, I know the wind’s off the left, but it’s a little butter fade, but if it’s a butter fade that’s going 230, 240 on an easy swing. But going back to the bigger picture here, you’ll start hitting less of those butter fades and more the straighter ones, the better we get the back swing. Absolutely. This is just something we’ve got to improve as the foundations. Beautiful flight. I mean, again, I want to get there. And I know actually I need to be shoulder width. Yeah, but also that ball’s creeping forward. Yep. Keep going back. That’s it. Y that’s it. I’m very right eye dominant as well. So that’s probably You know what I think a great way for you to check this is if I jump in there, I would almost address that ball outside your right foot. Y then all you got to do is just move that away. It’s straight away it’s there all the time. Yeah. True. So you’ve not got that second guessing yourself. Is it right? Is it wrong? Is it right? Is it wrong? Yeah. Wasn’t bad though. four five smash. Yeah, I spotted the smash was pretty good. Have a look at this everybody. So, anything above a 1.4, we’re happy with a rate of efficiency. Basically saying if you had 100 mph club head speed, we’d have 145 mph ball speed. 1.5 being the best. So, anything over 1.4 we’re buzzing with. It’s so good. Beautiful ball. So, that ball was a little further back than the previous shot. Y. And what did it have less of? Left to right. Yeah. because you’re improving that delivery of that club. And again, the smash is 145 and you’re not even trying there. No, no. I mean, that’s it’s a very easy, trying to work something in, something new to me. Great. Um, but look at the shots that we’re hitting, the quality that we’re hitting. Yeah. Let’s do this again. So, so now we’ve actually I would say we’re we’re around a club head inside, maybe a club head a little bit way further back. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like and I I just think really just treat this like you had a seven eye in your hand. You you’ve made the adjustments with ball position. It’s further forward than a seven iron, but go on. Just just let the shackles go on this one. Okay. Beautiful ball. So, what did you just hit? Yeah. I mean, that was a lot straighter and I just feel like I I went at it a little bit more. Oh, great. And what did you have? 1.46 again. Yeah. And it wasn’t that weak fade. No, no, no. You’ve not lost it up the right? No. No. I mean, what are we seeing there in terms of launch 14.2? I think for you, you want to be somewhere between 11 13. Yeah, that’d be really good. Obviously, I’m saying a little bit lower for you because you play links golf. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. But that there, I like that. Yeah. So, describe what that last shot felt like. You want to hit one more for me? It felt or I felt a lot more in control. Okay, great. Um, it felt like the worst shot I could hit there if I’d aimed at the middle of the fairway would have still been in fairway. That’s an exciting thought, right? Rather than really trying to go after it by teeing it up, putting it forward in the stance and thinking, “Yeah, if I get hold of it, I can get it out at 300.” Yeah. But a bad one is destructive. Yeah. But I I think I I honestly think you’re going to more like a 3001 with this tee. Yeah. So before your idea was yes, I’m going to give it plenty, but that’s not the most efficient way for you. You were nowhere near like those numbers on the course. You won’t find the middle, but where have we found the middle pretty much every time? Yeah. And that’s really exciting for me because everyone has the idea that you’ve got to tee it up and that’s the only way and the roots in it a long way. For some people, it is that is that is their way. But if we’re looking about being playable, being a good enough distance to compete. Yeah. And I just think in terms of what for you, this is a longer Yeah. And I think the more I get comfortable with it, the more I’m likely to then vicariously increase the club head speed. Definitely because it’s going to feel more normal. At the moment, it feels alien, but I know if we want to make changes, it needs to feel alien. Yeah. And and it’s going to be because it’s completely the opposite to what you were doing. Right. One more for me. What a ball. Beauty. I mean, it just feels a stronger ball flight as well. Yeah. And what’s very pleasing looking at those numbers is I don’t know how many What have we hit? Five, six drivers. Yeah. You’ve had nothing below 1.45. Well, they’ve all been between 1.45 and 1.5. Yeah. So the consistency, even though it’s to me something fairly new, the consistency is already starting to improve. We’ve now got something that matches your technique and matches your swing. And what I’d say to most people, most people are in that camp of being a little bit this way, which you are. So the worst thing you could possibly do is te it further forward and and and really high because all that’s going to do, number one, further forward is going to complete this story. You’re trying to fade it. Yeah, 100%. And teeing it high is going to make Well, the highest thing you’re going to do, the best thing you’re going to do is hit it out the top of the face and you hit it high. So, actually, how do we improve our technique, but make ourel more playable? Move it more back. Encourages you to swing here because you got to react to the arc. Yep. Which is exciting. So, anybody that watches that, please, please, please make those changes just like
