Tee Height for Maximum Distance Revealed

Golfers seeking to maximize their drives should adjust their tee height based on club selection. A study by leading golf magazine “Golf Digest” found that the optimal tee height varies significantly depending on the club used.

For drivers, the recommended tee height is between 1.5 and 1.75 inches. This allows the ball to be struck at the optimal launch angle for maximum distance. For irons, a lower tee height of 0.5 to 1 inch is preferred to promote a penetrating ball flight and reduce spin.
