Teeting your ball the right height with your metalwoods and hybrids determines what kind of contact you make.
With drivers, you want to tee the ball up so you catch it high on the clubface and take advantage of the clubface’s trampoline effect. However, with a fair- way wood or hybrid, teeing it low is the way to go.
Consider the two photos you see at left. The top photo shows the correct height. The ball barely sits above the ground, because when struck, you want to take advantage of the club’s natural loft. (Note how angled of clubface is.)
Now look at the bottom photo. If the club were to bottom out, it barely catch the top of the face. At best, it hit a knuckle ball, which wouldn’t go very far; at worst, it “sky it” and damage your club’s crown.
