Last evening at the range I was struggling with my driver. Was not getting that "good contact with the ball" feeling. And I was hitting high hookies or high pushes.
Finally, I tried teeing the ball just a little bit lower. The bottom of the ball was about 1.5" above ground level, so it was about 1/2" lower than my regular tee height for a 460cc driver.
Miraculous improvement. I could feel good contact, and my ball flight flattened and straightened out.
So, this will require more experimentation and reproducibility. Tonight I'm taking a small ruler with me to measure the tee height. I remember us making fun of the T-LevL last year, but maybe they were on to something.
I found this article on a websearch, which confuses me even more. Check out the carry distances in the table! I don't feel so bad now.
