    I never knew this, do you know the reasoning behind why it tends to shape a certain way based on the tee height?

    Another question I just thought of in my garage (don't ask) while looking at my driver.....

    What do you focus on when you swing off the tee? The back of the ball? Or a spot *before* the back of the ball?

    I'm wondering if looking behind the ball will make my swing's low point move back a bit, thus allowing my club head to rotate a tiny bit more and hopefully close?

    Right now I've been focusing on the back of the ball on the tee......

    Higher tee height = flatter swing plane
    Lower tee height=steeper swing plane

    Reasoning behind this if you tee the ball up you will swing at it from the side and won't try to help the ball up
    The opposite if you tee it too low.

    If you try to hit a dead tennis ball from off the ground with a tennis racquet you will most likely open the face to get it airborne and use a cutting motion. One of the main reasons in my opinion why people slice.
