My thought with tees has always been that if the pros (who are fighting for every possible advantage) use the standard tees, there really can't be anything better
I don't disagree from a pure performance standpoint, but golf...especially the further you move away from the professional level...becomes a lot more of a mental game than an equipment performance game. Blade irons are a perfect example of this. I'd certainly not recommend a beginner or high handicap golfer use blades just because that's what most tour pros use. When it comes to the tee, the performance difference between a good tee and a bad tee is pretty minimal. The difference between a confident swing and a swing with less confidence, on the other hand, can be massive. When I was first starting to play golf, there were definitely golf tees that gave me a more confident feeling standing over the ball. Any style similar to the wide-mouth he demoed with a flat base, for example, made me feel like there was just one less thing I had to worry about when I knew that the tee was both straight and stable. This was 100% a mental thing that probably gained me 20 yards on an average drive with the big stick. After playing long enough, I don't need that crutch anymore but I'm glad that I had it then.
Absolutely. It's just marketing hype from the manufacturers. Even if there was a fraction of a difference, it would probably be negated by the naturally subconscious variation in tee height.
Except nuance like cost and efficiency don't really have anything to do with what the pros do. So when it comes to a weekend golfer who doesnt want to keep having to buy tees all the time, one that is nearly the same shape as a standard tee but doesn't break works better for them.
@@connerheldman9541 USGA has rules but the only definite rule I can find is " Must not be longer than four inches". Everything else is relatively subjective but all of these look legal if they are under 4 inches.
I’ve been using the 4 more yard tees for about 1.5 years now. I don’t really care about the claim, but in that 1.5 years I’ve used two tees. Total. They don’t break!
I agree 100% here!!!! I've been using the same tee for at least 8 rounds straight. Consistent tee height and you can't break em. Their also hard to lose cause they are bigger
@@deangilles718 If you are teeing off of hard ground they can be difficult to place, but I just stick a wooden one into the ground to pave the way a bit and replace it with one of these for the actual shot.
Same. I've only broken one of the 4 yards more in 3 years, while I have a habit of breaking every other tee I've hit including wooden, plastic shaped like standard, and even martini tees only last 2 rounds or so
My criteria is slightly different than those you used. Given that I’m almost 80, my criterion are: ease of getting the tee into the ground and stability of the platform to hold the ball. It is hard on my artificial knee to stay bent over while attempting to balance the ball on the tee. Some of the wooden tees have such a small platform that it takes repeated times to accomplish that simple task. As attempts fail, my knee and thigh start trembling and I get more frustrated. For this purpose alone I use the Martini tees. Very stable and the bright colors make it easy to see.
I love the 4 yards more tees. Easy ball placement, they never break, and the placebo effect of it having less friction makes me feel better about myself 😂😊
I use the 4 more yards tee because I have used the same tee for over 2 years before it broke. I play on average 36 holes a week, six months a year. With these the height is always the same. Great tees.
I use the 4 yards more tee as well. Normally they last a long time unless I lose one. But the last time I was on a golf trip I broke my last one on the range just before play. But I like the consistent height it gives
I've been using the yellow brush tees for years. They last a lot longer, easy to find, consistent height, and I've never noticed a difference in my driving distances whenever i try other tees.
I've been using the brush tees for years and I love them. The black and white ones put out by Brosnan Golf are the best height for my driver. When they start to get a little out of shape, dunk them in a cup of boiling water for a minute or so and gently twist the whole brush head with your fingers - it goes back into shape quite easily.
Martini-Tee is by far the best I've ever used. Large cup for easy ball placement. Can get them with or without height marker. The real amazing thing is, THEY DO NOT BREAK. I play 4 to 5 times per week, and 1 tee easily lasts all year. We all go into a panic if one goes missing off the tee deck. They also claim more distance as they recommend leaning the tee forward (the cup is big enough) Absolutely correct on the brush-tee, terrible, lasted 2 swings for me. Not sure why Martini-tee did not come up on your Amazon search, maybe because a pack of 4 may last a decade, so repeat sales could be small. Have seen several companies attempt to copy, but Martini-tee seem to have the magic plastic formula. They don't even get weak and soft after many uses. Amazing product.
I found one a while back. Took it home and used it in my hitting bay. Lasted for a long time until I lost it as it flew backwards somewhere and I couldn't find it.
I have had my martini tee for a few years. I laughed at your panic remark because I do the same thing. I have only lost them in the past when I either couldn't find it or I totally forgot to pick it up after a tee shot lol..
I enjoy the Martini tees as well. The only problem with those big cup tees is they seem to fly a good distance away from the tee box. That makes retrieving them difficult sometimes but the bright colors help. I was wondering though about the trick of leaning them forward it seems like the cup of the tee would get in between the ball and the club face and might produce a different flight instead of a normal wooden tee. Maybe it prevents some of the side spin but secondly is it legal to have anything hitting the club besides the ball? It seems to me that if you are hitting up on the tee balls and have that tee leaning towards the target it would seem like for sure some of the plastic comes in contact with the club too.Just wondering if anyone has studied it or maybe it really has no effect on it at all..🤔🤔🤔
I became tired of losing my martini tees. I began trying a ribbon on the tee and later nailed the other in the ground with another tee. Still lose them when the ribbon becomes loose but not as much. Also experimented with angling the tee back a bit.
@@injuredtabletennisplayer1474 haha that sounds like too much trouble..at least the Martini tees are bright colored which helps a little when they go flying..
#2 is the best! I've been playing for 60 years, even played in college, scratch handicap in my younger years. I bought a tee similar to wide mouth $5 for 5, 3 years ago, gave one away, still have 4, if your back hurts, no falling off the tee. if you want to tee up an iron, plenty of broken woodens laying around . That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
About a month ago I was at the golf shop and had a $10 coupon that they sent me and I bought those 4 more yard tees (blue ones) and have loved them! I am about an eight handicap and I like them for two reasons: one is that I tee the ball up to the same height every time and two I did feel like I got a little bit more distance when hitting them. Another reason that I like them is that they have been very durable and I have played seven rounds and still have not lost nor broken any of the four that came in the package.
I have been using the 4 more yards GREEN 4” for the past 7 years. Love them. Especially on the club face. Consistency is why I love it. Came across them when I was stationed in Okinawa Japan.
I started using Martini tees when learning, helped with getting the exact same setup every time. My wife is using them now, as she's learning. Consistent height is crucial to driver. I keep using them because they last forever, and the bright color I got makes it easier to find if I do knock it out of the ground.
4 More Yards are what I have been using for a couple of years . Very durable - hard to break - sometimes I forget to pick them up I use the green 4" long ones for my drives - they stay in the ground so i dont need to look all over the place for them Correct height every time - helps my drives Can't go wrong with them IMO
I actually use the tee that came in seconds d on your testing. I prefer them because of consistency in setting ball height for driver. Still use wood tees for par 3s and when teeing off with 3wood or hybrid. Have been using the same 4 tees for almost 3 years. Definitely worth the 5 buck I paid for them.
I actually use the Yatta Golf Telos tees because it gives me consistent ball height for my driver, which has actually helped my drives. Don’t knock ‘em till you try em!
My favorite are the Martini-Tees as well. They are solid so easy to find after tee off they last ages and they hold the ball very well. Granted I’m not the best golfer in my group but still drive very well with the tees.
I’ve always used wood and never had any issues. I seldom break tees either, will use maybe 2 a round at most. I also keep snapped tees for my iron shots from the tee box so they usually don’t go to waste!
Nice test been using 4 More Yards for years they never break can use for like forever just don’t forget to pickup carry 2 I’m my pocket for whole round also they have a stop for consistent height would never use wooden tees ever again just buy color for height you want tried brush tees to hard to get ball to stay but keep 1 in my bag for range due to size easy to find
Matt, you are as entertaining as always! You have me either laughing or smiling through your videos! I am currently using the 4 more yards tee. I feel virtually nothing when striking the ball & I like that when you put them in (I just got the multi-pack of various sizes) are the right height for each club. With wood tees sometimes you get to use them once & they break. I have gone 3 to 4 months with a 4 more yard tee before it breaks or I lose it. I have used the plastic cup tee before and that is a good one too. Don’t feel anything, hard to lose & doesn't break. My wife uses the “Martini” brand tee (which you didn’t review (you should). They tee up too high for me because of the stopping ridge on the stem, but she hits extremely nice with them. The best test is if you could get a robot that swings at different speeds (tour pro, scratch, bogey golfer, senior, ladies) to test them all perfectly. Keep these great videos coming!
I've been using the 4 More Yards tees for a few years now,. I just like them for getting height consistent. The distance has been about the same for me, but my swing speed is not consistent enough to test that theory. But I sure do get aggravated when I lose one at the tee box, but luckily is not too often.
I’ve used 4 more yards tees for years. I play everyday and I can play 3-4 tees all year. I’ve switched to Martini tees and because they seem to last even longer. I bought brush tees years ago and after about 3 holes I couldn’t get the ball to stay on the tee.
I was given a "Martini Step Up" plastic tee by a guy I was paired with 3 months ago... I average 2/3 rounds a week, and I'm still playing that same tee with my Driver today! Bought a couple packs to give to friends this holiday.
I have a large paddock and a tee box that makes a great driving range. The orange Martini tees are the best for handling the 100s of hits and finding them easily in the grass. They are more expensive, but last forever.
I use 4 for yards tees. Consistent tee height, and the last forever. The "brush tees" wear out fast. And I can give you the best reason to use "other tees" than the classic wooden tees. I have neuropathy from chemo and have issue putting the ball on a "normal tee". Brush tees were the answer until I realized how fast they wear out. And 4 more yard tees last a long time!
I use the Tour Tee Pro, mainly because it’s the strongest plastic tee I’ve ever used, and last forever…as long as you don’t lose it. I also use the Tornado Tee while on the range because it usually stays in the ground.
I use the blue “4 more yards” because one tee will last several rounds but more importantly is the consistency of ball height. A wooden tee, even with stripes, is hard to set at the same depth every time. Informative video though!
Got some 4 more yards for xmas a couple years ago. I literally played the first one for 6 months before it came apart. Not only are they durable, I like the consistent height placement. Good to know they are only marginally worse than a wooden tee :D
There are a lot of variables to factor into your results such as the order you hit them in (whether you are warmed up, or getting tired), wind gust and speed changes, and it would be nice to know how many shots you took with each tee to have an idea of your sample size when calculating an average.
Thank you Matt! As I've said many times before, your golf swing turns me, your Colorado 60 year old golfing cowgirl on!!! I'm taking some lessons during the winter to fine tune my swing for the spring women's league!!!!! You are the only golf guru I follow - you have helped me more than any other golf God after I learned how to golf many years ago on the frozen winter tundra of Colorado (which, by the way, is why I have osteo arthritis in my left thumb now, DAMNIT!!!) I wanted to learn and play with my husband so badly I was willing to go to the driving range and hammer my first set of clubs into the frozen ground. It was not fun and I'm paying for it now, but it was worth it. I LOVE the game and you.
He doesn't read these comments, nor does he care. As long as you like and watch his videos. But he used to before he accumulated over 350k subs. In his defence, all these "professional" golfing TH-cam goofballs act he same way, so no hate here. But honestly, you have a better chance of (Matt reading this or) getting a response from your putter. Good luck with your game, Kate.
@@MichealBacon You obviously don't have a life other than trolling. How sad that at over 50 you choose to be dull instead of living. Go bother someone else.
I've been using the 4 more yards tees for years now and I love how they are so consistent with getting the ball set at the same height every time, no guessing, they are extremely durable, and they are usually just a few feet behind me or still in the ground, so they are very easy to find as well. Disclaimer.....I generally only use a tee for the driver, everything else is off the deck.
I've been using the 4 yards more tee for a couple years. I am happy to see it well rated. I like the consistent height and durability. When I was really young I bought the brush tees. But wow they really took a beating on the stats here
Excellent Review. From best to worst. With great data set to back it up. Would eye? Yes I wood. Brushing off my current favorite as a result of you scinTillating expose. Many T.hanks. Next video to find..... how to tee up for your driver.
I play the “tour tee’s” purely for the durability, they’re bloody strong!!! I play 3-4 rounds of golf a week and 1 long one and 1 short one will last me at THE VERY LEAST a week of golf
During my 46 years of golfing I tried them all. Started with wood tees and as of 15 years ago stuck to them. Only now my tees have bright yellow smiley faces painted all over them. Just a reminder not to take golf too seriously and to “smell the flowers.” Brush tees (pricy but you don’t lose them) were the worst and most frustrating because you can’t place the ball with markings precisely the way you want them. The bristles would wiggle around and made me place the ball with no markings showing rather than my preferred aligning whatever marking line just right of second base. Again, great information in a great video.
I found a wide mouth on teebox and loved it because of consistent tee height. For hitting other clubs I use broken wooden. The smaller head of wooden makes sense why best with least resistance. Thanks Mr. Short Game again!!
I have used the 4 more yard 3 1/4 blue tee's, they last a long time and give consistency. A package of these will last a long long time but don't believe they add any distance.
I used that Brush Tee for 20 years. They never break so if you don't lose it then it lasts forever which is actually pretty "green." Also those broken wooden tees damage the tee box mower. You probably should have had the yellow XL size
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The orange tees aren't tall enough. In order for Trackman data to be relevant the ball has to be struck with the same clubhead speed and in the same place on the face with the same club path. He should have gathered the shots that were closest in all the data and then compared them. Every tee should be the same in that scenario.
have used the martini tee's for awhile now.. I like the fact that it is consistent height every time and that i don't have to buy tee's... thing is almost indestructible... Great stuff!
I use one of the #1 tee's the "Four More Yards" tee, is it for me, it also places your ball at a correct height. Plus it'll last forever, meaning it won't break on you like a wooden tee
Thank you so much for this video. I am blown away because I have been using a brush tee for decades and carrying it 280-290. Did you really hit it that poorly with it, or was that the first tee you tested and were cold or did the wind blow harder? Mind is blown, I have some soul searching to do... 🙏
I've been using 3.25 inch XL brush tees for the driver for years. They don't break and are almost impossible to lose. For everything else, I use 1.5 inch wood tees.
I use martini tees.. I can tip it 20°.. looks cool.. never breaks.. wobble tees.. looks cool n never breaks.. Those callaway tees..I've broken 2 using the arrow..
I've used wooden tees my entire golfing career (35 years). In fact the club I was at when I was in the UK even banned non wooden tees. But I picked up a plastic set height tee and started using that and I really liked it. It lasts for multiple rounds, not just the one shot if the ground is firm. And importantly, And as someone who tends to tee it too high. I find it the ideal height, without having to even think or check.
I bought all those tees and spend a driving range session switching from one tee to the next, and now I can drive 500 yards. I also bought all those things that promise to give you 5 extra miles par gallon, and now I get a thousand miles between fill-ups.
I gave a friend some Martini Tees (broad cap), and he has played them for the past 4 years. The reason? With that large-cap, he can get the ball to stay on the tee way easier than smaller cap tees. He's old and a bit shaky, so that was great. I no longer have to watch him struggle to get a ball teed up.
I found it interesting that you took a moment to praise the Widemouth's "nodule" that helps set the tee at the right length each time, because the 4 Yards More tee that finished in 2nd place also has that feature. Aside from their durability, that feature is a big reason I find myself returning to them.
I use the Finger Ten castle tees, the consistency of tee height has won me over, even though there are 4 different tees sizes in the pack I only use the tallest for driver and shortest for irons.
I will say I have been playing the 4 yard more tees since beginning of this year. I still haven’t lost or broke one in about 25 rounds of golf. Not sure if I do get the extra yards but the ball height is perfect for me with driver. Only problem is it is hard to get in very very hard tee boxes. Only had that issue one time on a cheap course.
I've tried several of these over the years and always come back to the wooden tees. Of all the alternatives, I probably liked the wide mouth the best. It's mostly a mental thing, but the sense of stability when you flush the base against the ground just feels good. I've never really given much credence to the idea that they make much of a difference to distance or dispersion...if they did, they'd be all over the PGA tour and you rarely see someone using something other than just your standard wooden tee on tour. Pro golfers don't need the mental cushion that these "specialty" tees seem to offer, but for everyone else I definitely recommend just trying out different tee designs and see if any of them give you more confidence while swinging out of your golf shoes. The 1% difference in equipment performance might be more than made up for in a more confident golf swing.
Another fan of the 4 more yards tees. Consistent height, durable, ball stays on better than a wooden tee. I really love their tiny ones for getting the ball up just a bit on par 3's with irons from the tee box
I like the brush for short par 3 holes. it gets the ball just far enough off the grass for a clean strike without getting it high enough to have to change my swing.
20+ years ago, we’d use golf pencils as a tee for long drive comps. Balance the ball on the erasure +4” off the ground. We were way ahead of our times 💪🏼
The “4 More Yard Tees” work, and here’s how they work. Every time I have ever hit one, it goes backwards at least 12 feet. So you hit your tee shot, walk back to pick up your tee, and now you are 4 more yards from your ball then you were. 😂 Other than that I saw no difference.
I found one of those wide mouth tees at the club once, they're cool because they don't break, they are made of a flexible rubber, so you can use it until you lose it. The others break easily and have to be replaced often.
I use tees that people leave at the golf range and in used golf bags that I buy Sometimes I get new golf balls in the box in those used bags including great sometimes new or hardly used great quality clubs for next to nothing I enjoy using vintage blades I was so impressed on how well I can accurately hit the ball with older clubs 😎❤️⛳
Those Yatta/Telos tees are hands down the best. Not because they do anything special. But they last FOREVER. Have been using one for two seasons now. They are also nice in being able to consistently tee driver the exact same height every time. So maybe an advantage there. But not a miracle worker.
Great video! I actually got a package of those "4 More Yards" tees as a stocking stuffer gift from my wife for Christmas. I was wondering the same as you, how can a tee make any difference at all in your accuracy or distance?? Well, I'm glad you put them to the test for us!! Cheers!!
Haha Mr Short game making banging podcasts and regular channel videos. I use to work at a golf store when brush tees came out. We couldn't keep them in stock. Can't believe how bad they performed. Glad old faithful won.
Great seeing real numbers with all these gimmick tees. I like plastic tees that are the same shape as wooden (for longevity), or just wooden tees personally. Inconsistency is operator error, not getting a consistent tee height. Great video.
Ditto. I found a neon bright orange plastic Tee and used it for almost three full seasons until I lost it after a Tee shot. We were playing the tips and someone said it flipped back into the jungle (bush). We looked hard for that dear plastic Tee but to no avail. Anyway, I found another one, only yellow, a couple of rounds later. Still play it. It always goes into a velvet bag along with my ball marker and pitch fork. Par 3s always have busted tees in the ground so no issue there.
I was given some brush tees and like that the orange ones are the right height for me with a driver. I had been teeing too high so I did get better results with the brush. They do wear out though, and once the ones I have are gone will go back to wooden ones and figure out a way to consistently get that same height.
I did get some of those 4" power tees, but not because I thought they'd give me more yards... well, I did, but not for the reason they think. I got them because they were taller and I wanted to practice on higher tees to really reinforce an upward strike with my driver, at least on the range (I still use normal tees during a round). I do love the fact that the tried and true gold-standard, the wooden tee, came out on top. Sometimes, simple is best. Despite the claims, the technology did not lead to gains.
I started using knockoff Martini-style tees two years ago. I bought a pack of 60 from Amazon. If I hadn't given away many of them, I think I would have 57 of them left. LOL. They last forever, are very consistent, and are tough to lose.
A couple of initial thoughts is your ball height was probably the biggest variable between what height each team put your ball at and what made me think that was the brush it has a limitation of how far you can push it in, more so than others and you did the worst with it. Second, and this one’s more for backs, permit is if there is an actual impact of the tea on the clubhead at time of shot, then the type of tea that you used to get your driver fitted, which is likely a wood tee would be on of your best results for your specific driver. There’s also just a level of comfort with using equipment you always have and that has a mental impact or can’t have a mental impact on performance, but we’ve also picked up new year and done better with it so tough to tell on this one
Enjoyed this video. I use the martini type tees cause they are indestructible and a former pga pro recommended them. Maybe I'll revisit the wooden tee peg?
I'll stick with the Martini tees. The ability to easily place the ball on the tee without it falling off due to a small off-vertical center of the tee is worth the extra yard or two. Especially great on the range where you can use the same hole in the ground every strike as the knob keeps the height above ground the same for all the shots (really helpful in the desert where the earth is hard as a rock)
I’ve been using the tour tee pro for about a year now and hitting my driver longer and more consistently since starting with them (I’m a 280 carry guy but still suck 😂) I got into them after Alex Etches tested their “12 more yards total distance” claim with robotic success, adding 12 more yards almost exactly over the wooden tees on every shot. It makes me wonder if different tees react differently to different swings like a shaft or head would. Maybe my success is practice and putting better swings on it, or maybe it’s a little help with the tee itself. Either way I’m not going to chance it by going back to wood!
I've been playing for 55 years and can remember buying a couple of packs for.25 cents. I didn't need to buy them, I'd pick them up from driving ranges and golf courses from people too lazy to pick up their own tees. And the broken ones are perfect for iron shots on par 3's.
I went back to wooden thin tees cause they break off without resistance from the driver head going thru it. I’m not sure if that’s a thing but it certainly feels better.
For me, the most important function of the tee is to set the height exactly the same each time. That said, the preset height tee’s will do more for getting the sweet spot on the driver,no matter which height works best for you.
Thanks for the review, but I care a lot about how ez the tee is to use and if it will help drive the ball straighter. Even though this comparison wasn't for me, I made sure to give the video a thumbs up. Cheers.
Lots of comments saying 4 more yards tees don’t break. I agree. But I found that all tees are the same when tossed in the lake in anger after a pull hook.
If I could, at 76 years.. 4th place is nice to get the ball to stay on the tee.. my favorite..also... free tees are good. Like wood tees...easy to find left on tee box and nice for iron shots... but I am not a good golfer.
Awesome video man, love it! I like the 4 more yards tee for two reasons. They are practically unbreakable, and I can slant the tee towards me to try and trick my mind into an "uphill" lie to help me draw the ball :)
I use the classic wood tee pegs or their plastic replica. Pros: Plastic saves money as it lasts longer. Wooden are biodegradable. Cons: Plastic contaminates more. Wooden tee pegs kill more trees. Advice: Contaminate less and kill less trees by using the lightest kind required (short or long) on both materials
Big fan of the 4 more yards tee, even if I don't get 4 more yards. I like them because they don't break. I have not the most consistent swing so tend to break wooden tees almost every time I tee off. Sure the 4 more yards do wear out over time but only time I managed to break one was playing in 28 degree weather which obviously plastic gets brittle in the cold. But the fact I can carry a 4 pack of tees with me all season vs a "1lb bag" of tees, even if the price balances out to the same, that in itself carrying less is worth it to me.
I use the 4 more yards tees because it tees up the same height each time. One less variable to deal with. I’m pleasantly surprised it performs nearly identically the wooden tee
Moe Norman had the same tee for 7 (yes seven) years. He used to tee off with a wedge sometimes, just to mix it up. Boredom i guess. A freakin legend. RIP Moe baby. Uncle Pete.
I personally use something called the consistent tee which is similar to the martini tee, it has the same type lip for gauging the depth but not the wide cup. But I don’t use it because I think it will improve my game, I use it because I’m getting up there in age and have bad knees so I like that I can bend down and quickly tee up my ball and stand back up, also they are very durable, it’s not uncommon for me to use one for three rounds of golf. My 32 year old son recently pulled one of those naked women tees out of his bag and used it as a joke, he didn’t buy it though, it was given to him at a corporate golf tournament he went to.
Hah! I knew the wooden tee would come out on top. TBH, I use found tees. I have gathered and hoarded so many found tees over the years that I 'll never have to buy tees the rest of my golfing life. I do like the Tour tees you tested hough, very durable
My thought with tees has always been that if the pros (who are fighting for every possible advantage) use the standard tees, there really can't be anything better
I don't disagree from a pure performance standpoint, but golf...especially the further you move away from the professional level...becomes a lot more of a mental game than an equipment performance game. Blade irons are a perfect example of this. I'd certainly not recommend a beginner or high handicap golfer use blades just because that's what most tour pros use. When it comes to the tee, the performance difference between a good tee and a bad tee is pretty minimal. The difference between a confident swing and a swing with less confidence, on the other hand, can be massive. When I was first starting to play golf, there were definitely golf tees that gave me a more confident feeling standing over the ball. Any style similar to the wide-mouth he demoed with a flat base, for example, made me feel like there was just one less thing I had to worry about when I knew that the tee was both straight and stable. This was 100% a mental thing that probably gained me 20 yards on an average drive with the big stick. After playing long enough, I don't need that crutch anymore but I'm glad that I had it then.
Absolutely. It's just marketing hype from the manufacturers. Even if there was a fraction of a difference, it would probably be negated by the naturally subconscious variation in tee height.
Except nuance like cost and efficiency don't really have anything to do with what the pros do. So when it comes to a weekend golfer who doesnt want to keep having to buy tees all the time, one that is nearly the same shape as a standard tee but doesn't break works better for them.
Pro golf has STANDARDS. Not that they all want to use them, they have to
@@connerheldman9541 USGA has rules but the only definite rule I can find is " Must not be longer than four inches". Everything else is relatively subjective but all of these look legal if they are under 4 inches.
I’ve been using the 4 more yard tees for about 1.5 years now. I don’t really care about the claim, but in that 1.5 years I’ve used two tees. Total. They don’t break!
I agree 100% here!!!! I've been using the same tee for at least 8 rounds straight. Consistent tee height and you can't break em. Their also hard to lose cause they are bigger
@@07SSBLAZERDoes the tee start to get weak and bend as it gets older then having trouble in hard ground?
@@deangilles718 If you are teeing off of hard ground they can be difficult to place, but I just stick a wooden one into the ground to pave the way a bit and replace it with one of these for the actual shot.
Same. I've only broken one of the 4 yards more in 3 years, while I have a habit of breaking every other tee I've hit including wooden, plastic shaped like standard, and even martini tees only last 2 rounds or so
Yeah, they don't break, but you can lose them.
My criteria is slightly different than those you used. Given that I’m almost 80, my criterion are: ease of getting the tee into the ground and stability of the platform to hold the ball. It is hard on my artificial knee to stay bent over while attempting to balance the ball on the tee. Some of the wooden tees have such a small platform that it takes repeated times to accomplish that simple task. As attempts fail, my knee and thigh start trembling and I get more frustrated. For this purpose alone I use the Martini tees. Very stable and the bright colors make it easy to see.
I will say I have lost one, but only one over three seasons. Things bounce weird but 100% best tee for reuse
I love the 4 yards more tees. Easy ball placement, they never break, and the placebo effect of it having less friction makes me feel better about myself 😂😊
But can you get them in the ground? Most golfers have a terrible time getting a tee in the ground because the plastic ones are too flimsy.
I use the 4 more yards tee because I have used the same tee for over 2 years before it broke. I play on average 36 holes a week, six months a year. With these the height is always the same. Great tees.
I use the 4 yards more tee as well. Normally they last a long time unless I lose one.
But the last time I was on a golf trip I broke my last one on the range just before play.
But I like the consistent height it gives
I've been using the yellow brush tees for years. They last a lot longer, easy to find, consistent height, and I've never noticed a difference in my driving distances whenever i try other tees.
I've been using the brush tees for years and I love them. The black and white ones put out by Brosnan Golf are the best height for my driver. When they start to get a little out of shape, dunk them in a cup of boiling water for a minute or so and gently twist the whole brush head with your fingers - it goes back into shape quite easily.
waste of money
I use brush tees. It’s nice to only need 1 tee for the entire season.
@@BH-gh6qm they're cheaper than wooden, and don't litter the tee box.
Martini-Tee is by far the best I've ever used. Large cup for easy ball placement. Can get them with or without height marker. The real amazing thing is, THEY DO NOT BREAK. I play 4 to 5 times per week, and 1 tee easily lasts all year. We all go into a panic if one goes missing off the tee deck. They also claim more distance as they recommend leaning the tee forward (the cup is big enough) Absolutely correct on the brush-tee, terrible, lasted 2 swings for me. Not sure why Martini-tee did not come up on your Amazon search, maybe because a pack of 4 may last a decade, so repeat sales could be small. Have seen several companies attempt to copy, but Martini-tee seem to have the magic plastic formula. They don't even get weak and soft after many uses. Amazing product.
I found one a while back. Took it home and used it in my hitting bay. Lasted for a long time until I lost it as it flew backwards somewhere and I couldn't find it.
I have had my martini tee for a few years. I laughed at your panic remark because I do the same thing. I have only lost them in the past when I either couldn't find it or I totally forgot to pick it up after a tee shot lol..
I enjoy the Martini tees as well. The only problem with those big cup tees is they seem to fly a good distance away from the tee box. That makes retrieving them difficult sometimes but the bright colors help. I was wondering though about the trick of leaning them forward it seems like the cup of the tee would get in between the ball and the club face and might produce a different flight instead of a normal wooden tee. Maybe it prevents some of the side spin but secondly is it legal to have anything hitting the club besides the ball? It seems to me that if you are hitting up on the tee balls and have that tee leaning towards the target it would seem like for sure some of the plastic comes in contact with the club too.Just wondering if anyone has studied it or maybe it really has no effect on it at all..🤔🤔🤔
I became tired of losing my martini tees. I began trying a ribbon on the tee and later nailed the other in the ground with another tee. Still lose them when the ribbon becomes loose but not as much. Also experimented with angling the tee back a bit.
@@injuredtabletennisplayer1474 haha that sounds like too much trouble..at least the Martini tees are bright colored which helps a little when they go flying..
#2 is the best! I've been playing for 60 years, even played in college, scratch handicap in my younger years. I bought a tee similar to wide mouth $5 for 5, 3 years ago, gave one away, still have 4, if your back hurts, no falling off the tee. if you want to tee up an iron, plenty of broken woodens laying around . That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
But can you get them in the ground? Most golfers have a terrible time getting a tee in the ground because the plastic ones are too flimsy.
About a month ago I was at the golf shop and had a $10 coupon that they sent me and I bought those 4 more yard tees (blue ones) and have loved them! I am about an eight handicap and I like them for two reasons: one is that I tee the ball up to the same height every time and two I did feel like I got a little bit more distance when hitting them. Another reason that I like them is that they have been very durable and I have played seven rounds and still have not lost nor broken any of the four that came in the package.
I have been using the 4 more yards GREEN 4” for the past 7 years. Love them. Especially on the club face. Consistency is why I love it. Came across them when I was stationed in Okinawa Japan.
Best tee made. I use one maybe two a year as they are pretty much unbreakable and I play 3-4 times a week. I use the blue ones.
pog boot
I started using Martini tees when learning, helped with getting the exact same setup every time. My wife is using them now, as she's learning. Consistent height is crucial to driver.
I keep using them because they last forever, and the bright color I got makes it easier to find if I do knock it out of the ground.
4 More Yards are what I have been using for a couple of years .
Very durable - hard to break - sometimes I forget to pick them up
I use the green 4" long ones for my drives - they stay in the ground so i dont need to look all over the place for them
Correct height every time - helps my drives
Can't go wrong with them IMO
I actually use the tee that came in seconds d on your testing. I prefer them because of consistency in setting ball height for driver. Still use wood tees for par 3s and when teeing off with 3wood or hybrid. Have been using the same 4 tees for almost 3 years. Definitely worth the 5 buck I paid for them.
I actually use the Yatta Golf Telos tees because it gives me consistent ball height for my driver, which has actually helped my drives. Don’t knock ‘em till you try em!
My favorite are the Martini-Tees as well. They are solid so easy to find after tee off they last ages and they hold the ball very well. Granted I’m not the best golfer in my group but still drive very well with the tees.
I’ve always used wood and never had any issues. I seldom break tees either, will use maybe 2 a round at most. I also keep snapped tees for my iron shots from the tee box so they usually don’t go to waste!
this is very common
@@darthbog2125 yup 👍🏽
Nice test been using 4 More Yards for years they never break can use for like forever just don’t forget to pickup carry 2 I’m my pocket for whole round also they have a stop for consistent height would never use wooden tees ever again just buy color for height you want tried brush tees to hard to get ball to stay but keep 1 in my bag for range due to size easy to find
Matt, you are as entertaining as always! You have me either laughing or smiling through your videos! I am currently using the 4 more yards tee. I feel virtually nothing when striking the ball & I like that when you put them in (I just got the multi-pack of various sizes) are the right height for each club. With wood tees sometimes you get to use them once & they break. I have gone 3 to 4 months with a 4 more yard tee before it breaks or I lose it. I have used the plastic cup tee before and that is a good one too. Don’t feel anything, hard to lose & doesn't break. My wife uses the “Martini” brand tee (which you didn’t review (you should). They tee up too high for me because of the stopping ridge on the stem, but she hits extremely nice with them. The best test is if you could get a robot that swings at different speeds (tour pro, scratch, bogey golfer, senior, ladies) to test them all perfectly. Keep these great videos coming!
I've been using the 4 More Yards tees for a few years now,. I just like them for getting height consistent. The distance has been about the same for me, but my swing speed is not consistent enough to test that theory. But I sure do get aggravated when I lose one at the tee box, but luckily is not too often.
I’ve used 4 more yards tees for years. I play everyday and I can play 3-4 tees all year. I’ve switched to Martini tees and because they seem to last even longer. I bought brush tees years ago and after about 3 holes I couldn’t get the ball to stay on the tee.
I was given a "Martini Step Up" plastic tee by a guy I was paired with 3 months ago... I average 2/3 rounds a week, and I'm still playing that same tee with my Driver today! Bought a couple packs to give to friends this holiday.
I have a large paddock and a tee box that makes a great driving range. The orange Martini tees are the best for handling the 100s of hits and finding them easily in the grass. They are more expensive, but last forever.
The martini tee has this advantage. For seniors the ball doesn’t fall off so you don’t have to retee the ball
My sister play a month with one martini tee the only reason she quit using it was cause she lost it
I use 4 for yards tees. Consistent tee height, and the last forever. The "brush tees" wear out fast. And I can give you the best reason to use "other tees" than the classic wooden tees. I have neuropathy from chemo and have issue putting the ball on a "normal tee". Brush tees were the answer until I realized how fast they wear out. And 4 more yard tees last a long time!
Yes! I switched back to wooden tees a year ago,i used those bigmouth tees for awhile..
I really like martini tees. They just never break and their so bright it’s hard to lose them.
Anytime ,Anyplace, Anywhere!
Why aren't they called marteenis??
I use the Tour Tee Pro, mainly because it’s the strongest plastic tee I’ve ever used, and last forever…as long as you don’t lose it.
I also use the Tornado Tee while on the range because it usually stays in the ground.
I use the blue “4 more yards” because one tee will last several rounds but more importantly is the consistency of ball height. A wooden tee, even with stripes, is hard to set at the same depth every time. Informative video though!
Me too, except I seldom break one. That plus ease of use, and the ball is always at the correct height are the reasons I have used this tee for years.
Got some 4 more yards for xmas a couple years ago. I literally played the first one for 6 months before it came apart. Not only are they durable, I like the consistent height placement. Good to know they are only marginally worse than a wooden tee :D
There are a lot of variables to factor into your results such as the order you hit them in (whether you are warmed up, or getting tired), wind gust and speed changes, and it would be nice to know how many shots you took with each tee to have an idea of your sample size when calculating an average.
Thank you Matt! As I've said many times before, your golf swing turns me, your Colorado 60 year old golfing cowgirl on!!! I'm taking some lessons during the winter to fine tune my swing for the spring women's league!!!!! You are the only golf guru I follow - you have helped me more than any other golf God after I learned how to golf many years ago on the frozen winter tundra of Colorado (which, by the way, is why I have osteo arthritis in my left thumb now, DAMNIT!!!) I wanted to learn and play with my husband so badly I was willing to go to the driving range and hammer my first set of clubs into the frozen ground. It was not fun and I'm paying for it now, but it was worth it. I LOVE the game and you.

In his defence, all these "professional" golfing TH-cam goofballs act he same way, so no hate here. But honestly, you have a better chance of (Matt reading this or) getting a response from your putter. Good luck with your game, Kate.

@@MichealBacon You obviously don't have a life other than trolling. How sad that at over 50 you choose to be dull instead of living. Go bother someone else.
Martini tees are good for us seniors with a shaky hand. Big cup helps with placing golf ball on the tee
I've been using the 4 more yards tees for years now and I love how they are so consistent with getting the ball set at the same height every time, no guessing, they are extremely durable, and they are usually just a few feet behind me or still in the ground, so they are very easy to find as well. Disclaimer.....I generally only use a tee for the driver, everything else is off the deck.
I've been using the 4 yards more tee for a couple years.
I am happy to see it well rated.
I like the consistent height and durability.
When I was really young I bought the brush tees. But wow they really took a beating on the stats here
Agreed. Consistent tee height, and almost indestructible. One tee will last you at least an entire season, probably two, unless you lose it.
Excellent Review. From best to worst. With great data set to back it up. Would eye?
Yes I wood. Brushing off my current favorite as a result of you scinTillating expose.
Many T.hanks.
Next video to find..... how to tee up for your driver.
I play the “tour tee’s” purely for the durability, they’re bloody strong!!! I play 3-4 rounds of golf a week and 1 long one and 1 short one will last me at THE VERY LEAST a week of golf
During my 46 years of golfing I tried them all.
Started with wood tees and as of 15 years ago stuck to them. Only now my tees have bright yellow smiley faces painted all over them. Just a reminder not to take golf too seriously and to “smell the flowers.”
Brush tees (pricy but you don’t lose them) were the worst and most frustrating because you can’t place the ball with markings precisely the way you want them. The bristles would wiggle around and made me place the ball with no markings showing rather than my preferred aligning whatever marking line just right of second base.
Again, great information in a great video.
If someone is relying on a certain tee to improve their golf game, I suggest they take up croquet.
I found a wide mouth on teebox and loved it because of consistent tee height. For hitting other clubs I use broken wooden. The smaller head of wooden makes sense why best with least resistance. Thanks Mr. Short Game again!!
I have used the 4 more yard 3 1/4 blue tee's, they last a long time and give consistency. A package of these will last a long long time but don't believe they add any distance.
I used that Brush Tee for 20 years. They never break so if you don't lose it then it lasts forever which is actually pretty "green." Also those broken wooden tees damage the tee box mower. You probably should have had the yellow XL size
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The orange tees aren't tall enough. In order for Trackman data to be relevant the ball has to be struck with the same clubhead speed and in the same place on the face with the same club path. He should have gathered the shots that were closest in all the data and then compared them. Every tee should be the same in that scenario.
have used the martini tee's for awhile now.. I like the fact that it is consistent height every time and that i don't have to buy tee's... thing is almost indestructible... Great stuff!
I use one of the #1 tee's the "Four More Yards" tee, is it for me, it also places your ball at a correct height. Plus it'll last forever, meaning it won't break on you like a wooden tee
Thank you so much for this video. I am blown away because I have been using a brush tee for decades and carrying it 280-290. Did you really hit it that poorly with it, or was that the first tee you tested and were cold or did the wind blow harder? Mind is blown, I have some soul searching to do... 🙏
LOL
I've been using 3.25 inch XL brush tees for the driver for years. They don't break and are almost impossible to lose. For everything else, I use 1.5 inch wood tees.
it is magic when your tees can cause massive distance gain like in this testing about 20 yards of carry dist.
I use martini tees.. I can tip it 20°.. looks cool.. never breaks.. wobble tees.. looks cool n never breaks..
Those callaway tees..I've broken 2 using the arrow..
I've used wooden tees my entire golfing career (35 years). In fact the club I was at when I was in the UK even banned non wooden tees. But I picked up a plastic set height tee and started using that and I really liked it. It lasts for multiple rounds, not just the one shot if the ground is firm. And importantly, And as someone who tends to tee it too high. I find it the ideal height, without having to even think or check.
Me, too, my golfing buddy. I use the Champ tees with the height bars on them.
I actually use the 4 more yards tee all the time and they literally save me a good bit of money...I get about 5-10 rounds out of 1
I bought all those tees and spend a driving range session switching from one tee to the next, and now I can drive 500 yards.
I also bought all those things that promise to give you 5 extra miles par gallon, and now I get a thousand miles between fill-ups.
I am so relieved. I have literally hundreds of FREE wood tees I have picked up at the range and my frugality has paid off with the best tees of all.
I like the tour tees, mostly because I’ve been using the same tee for over a year
I gave a friend some Martini Tees (broad cap), and he has played them for the past 4 years. The reason? With that large-cap, he can get the ball to stay on the tee way easier than smaller cap tees. He's old and a bit shaky, so that was great. I no longer have to watch him struggle to get a ball teed up.
It’s actually pretty amazing that after all these yrs and all the improvements to equipment that the wooden tee is still best
I don’t know bout you but the tees left on the tee box always do me good
I love martini golf tees. They never break and because of the size and colors available, you can't lose them.
I found it interesting that you took a moment to praise the Widemouth's "nodule" that helps set the tee at the right length each time, because the 4 Yards More tee that finished in 2nd place also has that feature. Aside from their durability, that feature is a big reason I find myself returning to them.
I use the Finger Ten castle tees, the consistency of tee height has won me over, even though there are 4 different tees sizes in the pack I only use the tallest for driver and shortest for irons.
I use them too. Very consistent with the driver and I have never broke one yet!
I will say I have been playing the 4 yard more tees since beginning of this year. I still haven’t lost or broke one in about 25 rounds of golf. Not sure if I do get the extra yards but the ball height is perfect for me with driver. Only problem is it is hard to get in very very hard tee boxes. Only had that issue one time on a cheap course.
I've tried several of these over the years and always come back to the wooden tees. Of all the alternatives, I probably liked the wide mouth the best. It's mostly a mental thing, but the sense of stability when you flush the base against the ground just feels good. I've never really given much credence to the idea that they make much of a difference to distance or dispersion...if they did, they'd be all over the PGA tour and you rarely see someone using something other than just your standard wooden tee on tour. Pro golfers don't need the mental cushion that these "specialty" tees seem to offer, but for everyone else I definitely recommend just trying out different tee designs and see if any of them give you more confidence while swinging out of your golf shoes. The 1% difference in equipment performance might be more than made up for in a more confident golf swing.
Another fan of the 4 more yards tees. Consistent height, durable, ball stays on better than a wooden tee. I really love their tiny ones for getting the ball up just a bit on par 3's with irons from the tee box
I like the brush for short par 3 holes. it gets the ball just far enough off the grass for a clean strike without getting it high enough to have to change my swing.
20+ years ago, we’d use golf pencils as a tee for long drive comps. Balance the ball on the erasure +4” off the ground. We were way ahead of our times 💪🏼
And I thought we were the only ones crazy enough to try goofy stuff like that!
I saw Chi Chi Rodriguez do that pencil trick many years ago and it was during a tournament.. way before they ever thought of taller tees
haha we used to use plastic ones for this and put one into the other to get the height. The real adventurous would try a 3rd one.
The “4 More Yard Tees” work, and here’s how they work. Every time I have ever hit one, it goes backwards at least 12 feet. So you hit your tee shot, walk back to pick up your tee, and now you are 4 more yards from your ball then you were. 😂 Other than that I saw no difference.
This, like many of your videos, is just straight-up awesome. It will resolve a few post-round chats.
I found one of those wide mouth tees at the club once, they're cool because they don't break, they are made of a flexible rubber, so you can use it until you lose it. The others break easily and have to be replaced often.
The only drawback with those big cupped tees is they seem to fly quite a ways away from the tee box which makes finding them difficult at times..
@@Tom-ok2rh it probably does some kind of sling action when it leaves the ground. But the one I found, I kept for a long time, really liked it.
I use tees that people leave at the golf range and in used golf bags that I buy
Sometimes I get new golf balls in the box in those used bags including great sometimes new or hardly used great quality clubs for next to nothing
I enjoy using vintage blades
I was so impressed on how well I can accurately hit the ball with older clubs 😎❤️⛳
Random flex but what irons are they
Great video....always wanted to see a tee comparison. I use the Martini tee (similar to the Widemouth). Love it.
I've been using the naked tees for years now love em, they add at least 25yards to my drive
I use the “4 Yards More” tees, but I never expected to get any more distance. I just like that they have a set height every time🥱
I like the martini tees because of the consistent height off the ground and I don't ever fumble trying to balance the ball on the tee.
I used the 4 more yards tees for years as it helped with keeping my tee height absolutely consistent. I have enough variables with my swing...
Those Yatta/Telos tees are hands down the best. Not because they do anything special. But they last FOREVER. Have been using one for two seasons now.
They are also nice in being able to consistently tee driver the exact same height every time. So maybe an advantage there. But not a miracle worker.
Great video! I actually got a package of those "4 More Yards" tees as a stocking stuffer gift from my wife for Christmas. I was wondering the same as you, how can a tee make any difference at all in your accuracy or distance?? Well, I'm glad you put them to the test for us!! Cheers!!
Haha Mr Short game making banging podcasts and regular channel videos. I use to work at a golf store when brush tees came out. We couldn't keep them in stock. Can't believe how bad they performed. Glad old faithful won.
Great seeing real numbers with all these gimmick tees. I like plastic tees that are the same shape as wooden (for longevity), or just wooden tees personally. Inconsistency is operator error, not getting a consistent tee height. Great video.
Ditto. I found a neon bright orange plastic Tee and used it for almost three full seasons until I lost it after a Tee shot. We were playing the tips and someone said it flipped back into the jungle (bush). We looked hard for that dear plastic Tee but to no avail. Anyway, I found another one, only yellow, a couple of rounds later. Still play it. It always goes into a velvet bag along with my ball marker and pitch fork. Par 3s always have busted tees in the ground so no issue there.
Plastic tees will mark up the face of your driver and become significantly pitted over time
I was given some brush tees and like that the orange ones are the right height for me with a driver. I had been teeing too high so I did get better results with the brush. They do wear out though, and once the ones I have are gone will go back to wooden ones and figure out a way to consistently get that same height.
I did get some of those 4" power tees, but not because I thought they'd give me more yards... well, I did, but not for the reason they think. I got them because they were taller and I wanted to practice on higher tees to really reinforce an upward strike with my driver, at least on the range (I still use normal tees during a round). I do love the fact that the tried and true gold-standard, the wooden tee, came out on top. Sometimes, simple is best. Despite the claims, the technology did not lead to gains.
I like the FlexTee and Brush T ... just for their durability and lack of need to carry around a bag of tee's.
I started using knockoff Martini-style tees two years ago. I bought a pack of 60 from Amazon. If I hadn't given away many of them, I think I would have 57 of them left. LOL. They last forever, are very consistent, and are tough to lose.
The orange brush tee is to short for driver, the yellow XL brush tee is larger, and tees the ball higher. Nice review of different tees.
A couple of initial thoughts is your ball height was probably the biggest variable between what height each team put your ball at and what made me think that was the brush it has a limitation of how far you can push it in, more so than others and you did the worst with it.
Second, and this one’s more for backs, permit is if there is an actual impact of the tea on the clubhead at time of shot, then the type of tea that you used to get your driver fitted, which is likely a wood tee would be on of your best results for your specific driver.
There’s also just a level of comfort with using equipment you always have and that has a mental impact or can’t have a mental impact on performance, but we’ve also picked up new year and done better with it so tough to tell on this one
Enjoyed this video. I use the martini type tees cause they are indestructible and a former pga pro recommended them. Maybe I'll revisit the wooden tee peg?
I'll stick with the Martini tees. The ability to easily place the ball on the tee without it falling off due to a small off-vertical center of the tee is worth the extra yard or two. Especially great on the range where you can use the same hole in the ground every strike as the knob keeps the height above ground the same for all the shots (really helpful in the desert where the earth is hard as a rock)
I’ve been using the tour tee pro for about a year now and hitting my driver longer and more consistently since starting with them (I’m a 280 carry guy but still suck 😂) I got into them after Alex Etches tested their “12 more yards total distance” claim with robotic success, adding 12 more yards almost exactly over the wooden tees on every shot. It makes me wonder if different tees react differently to different swings like a shaft or head would. Maybe my success is practice and putting better swings on it, or maybe it’s a little help with the tee itself. Either way I’m not going to chance it by going back to wood!
I've been playing for 55 years and can remember buying a couple of packs for.25 cents. I didn't need to buy them, I'd pick them up from driving ranges and golf courses from people too lazy to pick up their own tees. And the broken ones are perfect for iron shots on par 3's.
I went back to wooden thin tees cause they break off without resistance from the driver head going thru it. I’m not sure if that’s a thing but it certainly feels better.
For me, the most important function of the tee is to set the height exactly the same each time. That said, the preset height tee’s will do more for getting the sweet spot on the driver,no matter which height works best for you.
Thanks for the review, but I care a lot about how ez the tee is to use and if it will help drive the ball straighter. Even though this comparison wasn't for me, I made sure to give the video a thumbs up. Cheers.
I did the same thing, ended up buying the most famous tee's in the world, the naked lady tee's, thank you Caddyshack.
Lots of comments saying 4 more yards tees don’t break. I agree. But I found that all tees are the same when tossed in the lake in anger after a pull hook.
If I could, at 76 years.. 4th place is nice to get the ball to stay on the tee.. my favorite..also... free tees are good. Like wood tees...easy to find left on tee box and nice for iron shots... but I am not a good golfer.
Awesome video man, love it! I like the 4 more yards tee for two reasons. They are practically unbreakable, and I can slant the tee towards me to try and trick my mind into an "uphill" lie to help me draw the ball :)
I never thought it would make such differences between the different tees. I will continue with the wooden ones.
Guess none of those Tee companies would sponsor his video. 🤣
This needs to be done inside. There could be times the wind was blowing extra 1-2 mph
I use the 4more yards because they don’t break! I have used the same tee for the hole season.
I use the classic wood tee pegs or their plastic replica.
Pros: Plastic saves money as it lasts longer. Wooden are biodegradable.
Cons: Plastic contaminates more. Wooden tee pegs kill more trees.
Advice: Contaminate less and kill less trees by using the lightest kind required (short or long) on both materials
Big fan of the 4 more yards tee, even if I don't get 4 more yards. I like them because they don't break. I have not the most consistent swing so tend to break wooden tees almost every time I tee off. Sure the 4 more yards do wear out over time but only time I managed to break one was playing in 28 degree weather which obviously plastic gets brittle in the cold. But the fact I can carry a 4 pack of tees with me all season vs a "1lb bag" of tees, even if the price balances out to the same, that in itself carrying less is worth it to me.
I use the 4 more yards tees because it tees up the same height each time. One less variable to deal with. I’m pleasantly surprised it performs nearly identically the wooden tee
I never found any difference in performance from a tee. I do like Martini tees though. They last super long and are easy to tee up a ball with. ⛳️
Moe Norman had the same tee for 7 (yes seven) years. He used to tee off with a wedge sometimes, just to mix it up. Boredom i guess. A freakin legend. RIP Moe baby. Uncle Pete.
I personally use something called the consistent tee which is similar to the martini tee, it has the same type lip for gauging the depth but not the wide cup. But I don’t use it because I think it will improve my game, I use it because I’m getting up there in age and have bad knees so I like that I can bend down and quickly tee up my ball and stand back up, also they are very durable, it’s not uncommon for me to use one for three rounds of golf. My 32 year old son recently pulled one of those naked women tees out of his bag and used it as a joke, he didn’t buy it though, it was given to him at a corporate golf tournament he went to.
Hah! I knew the wooden tee would come out on top. TBH, I use found tees. I have gathered and hoarded so many found tees over the years that I 'll never have to buy tees the rest of my golfing life. I do like the Tour tees you tested hough, very durable
