teeing off

hey guys i am new to this forum and it seems like you guys give really good advice so mabey you can help me out with my problemn my drives i can hit the ball on the ground with a 3 wood(no tee)210 yards, but then i put the ball on the tee and it a slicer only 120 yards i dont know why that is?

Hi Bigtime,
The secret of using a tee with the 3 wood is tee it low. This is because the face of the 3 wood is not as big as the driver. With the driver you hit the ball on the upswing. That is why you tee it high for the driver. Make sure the ball is only teed up the same height of the three wood face. This should give you improvement.

hey thanks it worked like a charm

Delighted to hear it.

ONe thing I actually do to "tee off" with a 3 wood or irons is I don't use a tee at all but I do kind of whack the ground on the tee box to get the grass to pop up above everything else, then place the ball on that exactly how I want to. I have found this helps me to hit things too thin.

Hope I described this properly.

In golf we only get 18 chances of hitting from a prefect lie, so why not make the most of it.
I also tee the ball very low on all but the driver, even then I dont tee that up anywhere as high as most players but I dont use a big headed driver.
