How to give your tee shots a lift

Whether your swing speed is 125 mph or 65 mph, you'll drive it longer if you can raise your launch angle and lower your spin rate, says Top 100 Teacher T.J. Tomasi. Here are 7 easy ways to make that happen.

1. Move the ball up in your stance, opposite your front foot
2. Tee the ball high (try a 4-inch tee, the legal limit)
3. Set up with your back shoulder slightly lower and place more weight on your back foot
4. Keep your head behind the ball through impact
5. Flatten your swing plane by swinging the club more around you
6. Use a more flexible shaft with a lower kick point
7. Use a deep-faced, big-headed, high-lofted driver
