[...] little tees? You bet - in red and blue, too! The folks at Zero Friction, knowing and understanding my passion for their tees, kindly sent several packs of 2¾" tees in blue and red. Though I don't quite [...]

Used it for the first time - I love the way I feel the Ball right off the tee - I swear I was more accurate and consistent. Half way through the round I gave one to my playing partner to test - he fell in love with it. Both of us were hitting stratighter and farther. I agree with the comments about their indestructability - my 50 pack should last me the rest of my life!

I love these tees and have been using them for two seasons now. It's true, they are in-friggin-destructible. I've broken only one over that time and yes they do tend to bend, but jeez, that's only after a couple of rounds of golf with the same tee - who knows how many wood tees you'd go through in two rounds. My only complaint is that they are hard to see when they come out of the ground. I would love to see them in a flourescent color.

I used some of these two seasons ago and I wasn't that impressed for the price difference from a massive bag of good ol' fashioned wood tees. Any performance gain was minimal, which I believe this review essentially points out.

As for the durability of the tees, sure they are more durable than wood tees, but I still broke all 5 I had in about a 3 month period. Now, granted, breaking only 5 tees in 3 months of golf is impressive, but they aren't "indestructible" as some may lead you to believe. I think it really depends on the conditions. I used them during the peak summer months here and the ground can become awfully hard from lack of rain, etc. I think what tends to happen is when the ground is too hard for the tee to pop out, they bend hard on contact and spring back while staying in the ground. After doing that enough I could actually see the stress point in the middle of the tee where the plastic had changed color from the constant stress. Once you could see that it was only a matter of time before it snapped.

I have found this tee to really reliable and as everyone has stated...indestructible. I too found on one on the course and tried it and immediately noticed the difference (perhaps it was just a lucky shot I hit, but the ball traveled farther and straighter) that convinced me. I initialled went to the golf store and bought the epoch tee by mistake. The epochs are just collecting dust and I will probably give them away. I am a a Zero fan now!

Like a lot of Zero Friction tee users i was introduced to them by chance. Having heard about them i was delighted to have found one at the range and saving me the monetary risk of investmenting in a pack in case i did not like them.
well i love them. right away i felt as though my drives were going straight with more consistency plus that tee lasted for quite awhile right up until i lost it at the same range where i'm sure by now it has been found once again...i think maybe it is that tees destiny to convert golfers into believers...

I use this about one month ago , wow , I never seen any tee's like this before , it really works for me. Yesterday,I bought another pack to make sure never ran of this amazing tee for my rest of games. I'll keep this as a secret to all my groups .

Love 'em. The only way to get rid of them is to give a couple to the uninitiated.

I'm a believer! Most of my golfing buddies use the ZF tee exclusively. I am in the process of cleaning out my bag by giving my old tees away and going with the ZF. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense but ever since I started using it, my average score has dropped several strokes and with my swing, I need all the help I can get.
