Read tee direction to check driver low point

Craig Hanson explains a self-diagnostic using where the tee goes after a driver strike: a tee that flies backwards is a trampoline effect from catching the top of it (it lands forwards and springs back), which is a good sign, while a tee that flies forwards means you are hitting too much on the way down. Use tee direction as instant feedback on your angle of attack.
