Oh my you win today!
This is some damn useful information. Great work guys.
Cheers for this, I have been researching "how can i get better at golf without lessons?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
You here? What a surprise, a great cook and avid golfer obviously!
When worlds collide! Big fan of your channel Ethan. Didn't know you were a golf nerd as well as a home cooking nerd. 👍
Whoah why are my two CZcams worlds colliding!?
Standing on 18th tee last night 1 up in Semi-final. 18th at ours is 160yards all carry over heather and bunkers. Always struggled a bit with it, usually fat and short. Watched this video yesterday morning, tee’d it just above the ground on a broken off tee and nailed it to 10 feet to win!! Cheers guys, great work👍🏌🏿
I have no idea how you guys don’t have at least double your current subscribers by now. You guys are just routinely putting out great, top-tier, largely objective, informative content and I love it. Keep up on the sort of ‘basics’ videos like this one and the one about ball placement in your stance, because it’s only going to bring you more followers.
because they aint TXG anymore
The Dirtydogs at it again! Can’t stress enough how usefull these info sessions are. By FAR the best relevant information out there. Thanks Ian & Matty Boy!
Just started getting your videos in my feed and they are excellent. Better info and presentation than many other more established channels. Subscribed.
Loving the "club fitting turned instruction" videos. When you're so knowledgeable with this technology its great so see you sharing info thats applicable to everyone. Keep it up!
It's like you guys are reading my mind, there have been so many videos recently that answer absolutely all of my internal thoughts around fitting, driver height, tee or no tee. Love the content!
I gotta say that you guys go in depth and explains differences really well. Continues doing what you're doing. Thanks for all these helpful videos.
I have gone back and forth with this on the course. Thanks for the info!
These videos are so beneficial. I’m 24 and just got into golf big time last year and some tips like these I found myself doing in my round today. Love the tips, keep up the great work guys!
Thanks for sharing gents the content is relative,informative and straight to the key points of golf for us amateur golfers out there keep up the great work guys👏👏👏
Great video, really simple and straight forward, you two are awesome!
Great video guys! Short, concise and very insightful this will definitely be in my next newsletter to my members!
Great video guys, I've not seen a video on this topic before 👌🏽
Couldn’t agree more 👍
Best golf content on CZcams. Thanks for not making garbage content during these times like others are
I randomly watched this and this helped me understand something so much more. I’m so steep on my irons, so practice with a low tee on irons at the range. Good way to get in the habit of not hitting nearly as fat. Thanks guys for the random lessons
You continue to provide outstanding explanations of important topics, using the technology. Topics teaching pros work on but at times have difficultly putting into visualization. In my opinion, being armed with this kind of knowledge will make working with a pro easier and better understood. Please keep it up. It is greatly appreciated.
Ahhh...thank goodness. I was waiting on this video with some anxiousness. Good news though that my own personal thoughts on teeing it up at basically ground level was proven out to be a good thing. Big thanks to TXG for their scientific approach. 👍
Good stuff fellas. I was interested in this topic when you touched on it this am. You did not disappoint. Thanks.
Looks like I’ll be trying a tee on the par 3’s from now on. Well I’ll try on the range first. I’ve always been a no tee kind of guy. Eye opening.
Thanks Guys, this series is so useful!
I always use a tee on Par3's, with the tee poking up perhaps 1mm above the grass. But if I'm playing on a dewy morning I tee it up just a little higher so that I don't pick up too much moisture from the grass as I come into the Ball and get a Spin killer.
Surprisingly helpful! Immediate improvements for me personally after chunking my par 3 tee shots for far too long
This video should have so many views. It’s so instructive for us non Matt’s
Best videos on the internet.
I hate instruction videos that teach basic things in a PGA tour language.
You guys teach science in a way that I sooo easy to understand ❤️❤️❤️🤘🏾
Great tip guys. It's always been tough for me getting this one right. Off to try it out👍👍👍
1 year later......this thing found me and MAKES SENSE. Crazy how much you guys speak the language. Thanks guys!
Only discovered these guys the other day and been watching constantly. Absolutley great to watch and concise information! keep the great work up.... Ill get into the mid handicap range in no time haha!
This is great, and probably eye-opening for some.
When I first started practicing at the range, I was hitting every club off the rubber tee and not off the mat. I changed that up rather quickly though.
Another qual video from the TXG boys. Data driven information. Thanks guys.
Definitely trying this to see what works best for me... thank you guys!
This is my biggest stuggle/thought on the course.
Love the topic!
Makes so much sense. I usually tee my ball up thinking it's helping myself. I know now I need to shorten my tee height to get my perfect numbers. thanks guys
At this point I’m convinced you guy just plug numbers into the computer lol! Matt your ability to recreate shots with numbers that close is incredible! Great work guys.
Eye opening data. Love it!
Hopefully this one gets a lot of views. Almost every amateur golfer (including myself) has struggled with how to approach teeing an iron. Thanks, fellas!
I suggest learning to play par 3s without a tee first and then adding them later...then you will actually notice the difference and know when to use them
Thanks. Used the forward backward stance thought yesterday. Very interesting working with different clubs too.
I didn't know that I didn't know this, until I saw this video. Quality work as per usual
First time seen a video of this nature/specific... Top, Simple Tip guys !!! Thank you
Just had this conversation with a friend on the course yesterday great video awesome info
What was the conclusion of the conversation with your friend?
When I was 11 years old, my father said. Son you always use a tee on a par 3 because it's the only chance you get on the golf course to 100% control your lie.
My dad says you only get 18 perfect lies in a round of golf
Makes sense
You can place your ball without without a tee, but still a good point
Guy with most hole in one’s never used a tee. I tee it very low just to have consistency and if teeing ground is Sandy you must use a tee!
He heard this from Jack Nicklaus as I did. Smart man!!
PEARFECTLY set on the turf! Love it!
Subscribers are comming in nicely, keep it up guys
I have a golf simulator set-up and you guys are giving me so much to work with. Really good the way you talk to the stats and measurements. Hoping it helps as I grind for game improvements...and definitely considering TXG for a club fitting session.
The greatest golf related channel on CZcams by far
I cannot wait for the golf ball testing, I hope those videos come out this week... By the way, I love seeing you guys produce this kind of content. When this crazy time is over you guys should bring Larry in for some videos as well!
Great info guys. Thanks for another informative video.
Another excellent advice. I've always been using a tee on par 3 - putting ego aside and getting a perfect lie. Arrived through experience to same conclusions: almost level with the ground for shorter irons and slightly higher for long irons to get that perfect 'bull's eye" strike... :o)
Thank you for this piece. I’m a tee guy. But have been battling myself to get away from it sometimes. This video was extremely helpful. 🍻 cheers
"That's a lot of blue".... love it!
Along these lines I’d love to see the difference when one is in between clubs. Are most player more accurate stepping on/deloft the higher lofted club or choking down/ball moved up/smooth swinging the lowered lofted club? Maybe a new challenge for big Al to see who can get 20 swings closer? 10 of each.
I’ve always played par 3’s with no tee. I’m gonna go sneak onto the course for an hour before dark and hit shots into the green with and without. Thanks for giving me something to think about.
Love this kind of stuff
Great information in this video. Thank you, it will make a difference!
Great video guys! Really good explanation and excellent examples. Best tip right at the end - make solid contact!
Thanks heaps!!!
great video as per usual! will help alot of golfers!
Excellent Video guys
These videos are amazing. Please continue doing videos using data to show the effects of all the different aspects of golf. How swing plane vs club head alignment affects start path and spin would be great.
Absolutely superb vid.
Great video I'm looking forward to trying it tomorrow I've been coming up short on par 3s for a long time that's why I went back to off the ground but I will play around with my tee height tomorrow
Great video, the CG comment makes all the sense. I tend to concentrate more on my swing when I don't use a tee. But unfortunately am not a good enough ball striker to not use a tee when hitting longer irons. Will only hit without till the i8 but that goes 185y for me
I don't know what it is but you guys are on fire with the content during the quarantine. Such a great debate, tee or no tee on a par 3.
I usually hit with no tee, so I have no chance of a high face pop up. This was a great video. I have to try teeing it a lot lower again. I always thought it was a waste if a tee, but seeing is believing .
Very helpful video. Thanks
Liked before I even watched. Great video idea!
That was a very interesting video!...I fall into the category of high tee.
I was told by a pro years ago, if you can tee it up, do it. I bought small tees just for this purpose. Great content.
Excellent video, I found through trial and error that because of my delivery I do not benefit from using a tee on par 3s
Great insight. Thx boys.
Been waiting for this! I have been a no tee person for a while.
Great video to explain this very common mistake!!
Great great tip! Thanks fellows.
I saw Arnold Palmer on the Johnny Carson Tonight Show back in the 1960's and this question came up. Arnold's response with no hesitation was "Tee it up".
Love the videos guy, keep them coming! Hey, could Matt make a video about his swing and kind of his feels after all his work with Larry? We all wanna swing it like Matty! Thanks guys.
Being struggling with this for ages! The shorter the club the bigger my doubt about using a tee or not
Really? I tee it up with my lob wedge, if I'm on a super short par 3.
Very informative fellas,, I also thin it off a tee a lot ,,, must mentally try and not hit the ground ,,, low tee for me for sure👍🏻
Great bit of information really interesting.
Anyone remember how the LPGA player Laura davies used to tee it up on a par 3? She used to take the heel of her shoe and dig it into the turf to raise a piece of grass up and then she would tee the ball up on top of that little dug up piece of grass,, unbelievable,,,, great educational video guys thank you so much for sharing!!
Another excellent video! With the last 3 videos, you're helping some people shave some strokes off their game! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Love this content!
Loved the video
Great video!
What a very practical video full of good information. Kinda like an “ah ha!” moment. Now just go to quail and hit that shot for real!
Very interesting... I'm the type of player that hasn't been teeing it up (knocking up grass into a tee) to improve my striking skills. I'm about to go play, will ensure I tee it up a little on the par 3's and will let you know how it goes...
I feel like this video is speaking right to my soul.
I"m the guy who tees it up super high and swings it so I don't touch the ground...
I've got pretty good at it.
Minimised chunks as well.
But starting to see it impact my fairway shots as I have to take a divot after the ball there.
Perfect video...that was great
My dad taught me to always tee it up when you can. It's the only time you're guaranteed a perfect lie. Tee it right down for a normal shot and with the top of the tee showing to take a bit off the shot for the exact reason you mentioned. Less mass a bit more loft.
A tip for some of you out there is to play with tee height. If I am between clubs I will take a bit off by teeing the ball up a bit so I can hit it a few mm higher on the face. Similarly if I have wind on my back and I want to add some dynamic loft, than this works as well.
Nice. How about a 'Shaft Length' video? Give Matt -1/2", STD, +1/2" and +1" irons, with the proper lie angles (and swing weights?) and see what happens with his ball flight? Should show the value of a proper length fitting?
Would love to see this too. Will a half inch longer or shorter really affect a swing? Also, a bit upright or flat could affect the swing as well?
Personally, I'd be static fitted to +1/4". Given the same swing weight, I can't imagine that it could matter what with the unevenness in a course's fairways, rough, bunkers, ... You get fit for STD or +1/2" (from the shaft wall) and then buy a build at +1/4" - does that matter?
Fitting definitely impacted my game. I was playing stock irons, everything standard. I am a lanky 6'2 just a hair under 6'3. Decided at next upgrade to pay for a professional fitting. What a difference. Fitter found I needed extra length and more upright lie angle for my irons (unsurprisingly given my build). My swing became more upright, the times I topped the ball all but went away, and on level ground shots a lot of stuff that tended to drift off to the side started straightening out. If you're an above or below average height/proportioned, getting fitted makes a big difference IMHO, but you'll have zero excuse for blaming your equipment anymore! :p
Excellent idea!
I usually go one club more when using a tee, especially on a winter mat.
Wisdom here, thank you
Ordered on September 4 a combo set with Ts100 in 8,9 and wedge with Ts200 7, 6 and 5 iron. Just been told end of October before delivery.
Just caught up with this week and for the first time used a lower tee off the tee with my iron. Went OK for the first time will continue. Interestingly I use one length irons.
Interesting vid! When I hit a 6 iron shot well off the fairway vs. a well struck “perfect lie” tee’d up par 3 shot, it’s the same result. To me it depends on turf conditions. Some well manicured tee boxes allow the ball to kind of “perch” up on low cut stiff blades of grass. Hit the ball well and then it won’t matter…haha. See, golf is easy!
great information
Many years ago I was part of a small group of folks taking a lesson from a pro named Gary Player. When asked he said in his somewhat abrasive way "Why would you not give yourself the advantage of a consistently perfect lie when striking the ball with an iron." He then proceeded to show us how to tee it (low) and made two hits 1 with a tee, 1 from ground. Without a shred of doubt the answer has been clear to me ever since, but if you can answer the question of teeing up for an iron any better then Gary I would like to hear it.
Love your videos!! Can you do one about alignment techniques?
This would be a good thing for those of use who don’t have golf simulators to get out the old foot spray, go to the range and see where on the face you actually strike the ball with different tee heights and develop a routine to be consistent with it.
Great video. I would love to see a carry one video of the difference with a short iron in comparison. Maybe 9 iron 7 iron and 5 iron.
My uncle does the super high tee thing and still manages to thin it. 😂
I've always used tee height to impact launch, spin, and shape. If I want a draw i'll tend to tee it a tiny bit higher than normal and sweep it a little more from the inside. The opposite for a cut; lower tee height and a more neutral path.
Only got to about 7 1/2 minutes in the video and have to stop at to just say thanks. Great info thanks
