How is a person supposed to know what size tee to use because there are like 3 or 4 sizes and then how do you know how far into the ground to put it in, how high up does a person need to have it, or how would a person find out how high, or low, a person needs there tee..... Then how do you get it set the same height each time?????? a lot of mumbling i know but i have lots to learn and i am willing to delve into the depth of all the brains that are willing to give any help at all.
Tee it up to where it is about 1/4 of the ball above the top line of the driver. Some prefer teeing it up higher and some lower so its just going to take some time for you to find out what you like best. I used the 3 1/8 tee for a long time and now I am back with 2 3/4 " tees and I have a larger 430cc driver. I don't need to tee it up as high with the new driver for some reason. I don't think you want to go any less then 2 3/4" and experiment.
I have always been told 1/2 of the ball above the top of the driver, and lower for more acuracy. But I think it is mostly personal preference. Once you figure out where you like it it shouldn't be too hard to tee it up to the same height every time
I used to have the same problem which in my case led to sky balls. I bought some tees that are for drivers over 400cc and they have a mark on them to ensure that you tee the ball up the same height each time. This really improved my drives and saved me time on the tee box since I no longer had to adjust and readjust my tee height.

Hmm ... I have never seen those types of tees with the lines on them. I love those simple yet ingenius ideas.
As you can see, there is no "set way" to tee up a ball. It really does come down to going to the range and just trying different heights. Once you find the right height, you'll know if the ball is too high or low when you address the ball. Unfortunately sometimes this means addressing the ball and then having to bend down again and make an adjustment, but after a while you won't be doing that too often.
we have measured tees orange the smallest,then red,then blue,then yellow,then white,then massive silver tees for oversize drivers,they are sometimes called castle tees,the larger ones look like the castle from a chess board,i find these help as they give consistent height

The key is to tee the ball so that you are hitting on the upswing of your swing. If your ball placement is toward the left heel (as is generally recommended) this will also facilitate hitting on the upswing. Unlike the others that have answered, I tend to tee my ball so that almost the entire ball is higher than the clubhead. Most people tee a little lower than I do but your best bet is to find out what works Best For Your Swing. Try it out at the driving range till you find a height that you are comfortable with that gives you enough, but not too much loft when you strick the ball. Trial and error. As for consistency of teeing, that is easily achieved by getting a mental picture of where the ball rests in relation to your driver/3wood/etc.
Good golfing and hit er straight and long
I think much is made of tee height..and it can vary without a problem. I work in the general area of ' a bit less than half a ball above, but since I don't ground the Driver before I swing.... I trust the free move . It helps me to move the club back in 'free air' Think Target!
JMO!
I tend to tee it up with at least 1/2 of the ball above the top of the club. With the new 460cc drivers the sweet spot for most of them is the top half of the face not right in the center. Teeing it higher also helps me with hitting the ball with an ascending blow.
