I tee it pretty low now. I was working on developing a lower trajectory driver swing for windy days and I was hitting solid. Then forgot my tees so had to do a full driver session with broken tees I found at the range and I realized my full swings teed lower gave me way more consistency. And now using it on the course I’ve been hitting as long if not longer as My strike is so much better.
I tee it a little higher than that, because I swing much more on the way up than the average joe in order to get the most out of my average joe clubhead speed. And I don't want to hit it too low on the face. I'm talking ~7 degrees upward attack angle. That's why I outdrive Joe despite the fact that he's 40 lbs heavier assuming he has an average build.

I use 4 Inch Tees. Really helps to tee it up to bomb it with a positive AoA.
Gota love a pink castle tee.

Bottom of the ball above the top of the club 🙂
Usually line the centre of the ball with the top of the driver head. Unless I need extra height.
Pink Castle Tees
The way I've always done it thanks to you and old episodes of playing lessons with the pros.

Question: What is the top of the club? The actual face top line or the physical height of the club? There is a massive difference in today’s drivers…
I tee it up high for a stock driver. If I want a lower ball flight or help with a fade, then I’ll tee it lower.
As my handicap has gone down my driver tee height has gone up. Now I’ve learned to lean back and hit up I’ve had to move up from red tees.
