Nathalie Sheehan brings out an extra-tall tee to help you shallow the swing and hit up on the ball with the driver, building the feel for a higher launch and a more draw-friendly flight.

Thanks Nathalie, this is an excellent way to learn how to hit up on the ball.
This brought back some memories. I went to a practice round at Kemper Lakes before the PGA Championship. The 18th hole was a dogleg left over water. It was a 300 yard carry to reach the green. At the time, Greg Norman was the only player who could drive the ball that far, so they planted three trees in front of the tee box to force him to hit his drive to the fairway. After hitting his drive, the crowd started chanting for him to go for it. He reached into his bag and pulled out a tee as big as your water bottle. He almost cleared the trees, you could hear the ball hitting some of the leaves, and came up a few yards short of the green in the water. Totally awesome, 290 yard carry over the trees!!!
Thank you Blair. Such an easy drill to do, and it works!
