More discussion...

In this sequence, note that
Bubba tees the Ball
ahead of Low Point. The result is an
Upward Swing Path,
less spin and, accordingly,
more distance (but also less control due to the 'knuckle ball' effect). The high tee is required because he would 'Top' -- or even swing over -- the Ball if it were pegged lower.
