How High to Tee Your Driver – Golf Towel No. 3

No. 3 of a seven-towel series: one golf question per towel. How high should you tee your driver? Golfers hit 120 drives off a half-inch tee and 120 off a 1½-inch tee. Off the short tee they struck the ball lower on the face, launched it lower, spun it more and carried it about 14 yards shorter. The towel shows the two tee heights side by side.

The data

Half-inch tee vs. 1½-inch tee, 120 drives on each:

• Strike over 4 mm lower on the face
• 3.5° less launch
• 326 rpm more spin
• 14 yards less carry
