Default Zero Friction Tee - March 9th, 2006

Erik wrote a review on Zero Friction Tees a while back. I still wanted to use up my bag of wooden tees and this past month I started using these tees and I'm still using the same one! Like Erik said you just can't break the damn things! I love em

There is really no better way to go as far as I'm concerned. I love these tees. I use them with my driver and fairway woods. I still use wooden tees on par-3s just because I have a ton of them in my bag.

These are definitely worth every penny.

i love the zero fiction tee as well, those sucks last forever. i ran accross another tee the other day, its the consistant tee. It allows you to set the ball up at the same height every time. has anyone tried these and what do you think?

I have been using Brush Tees - http://www.golfbrusht.com/ - for the consistent height. But every time I go out someone always wants to try them and then winds up hitting the damn thing :/ Still, I like them and will probably keep using them. I just wish they made a slightly lower height as I wind up hitting a few pop-ups with my 3 wood now and again.

I bought a box of these after Erik's review. It must have been 6 months ago. In that time I can only remember breaking one, and that was an unfair test. I was hitting 3-wood shots (which I tee pretty low) on the hard clay teebox at the range. I probably hit about 7 shots before I finally took head off the tee. I usually use broken wooden tees for everything other than my driver. I used to break an extra-long tee every few driver shots, and sometimes on every shot (especially with Stinger tees).

I don't know about the friction-reducing qualities of these tees, but for durability they are well worth the price. In fact, (I haven't done the math) I bet they work out to far less expensive than wood on a shots-per-tee basis.


My current starting lineup:
9.5 Titleist 909D2 Aldila Voodoo S
15* Titleist 909F3 Aldila Voodoo S
19* Titleist 909H Aldila Voodoo S
4-P Titleist AP2 Project X 5.5
51* Mizuno MP-T
56* Mizuno MP-T
60* Mizuno MP-T10
33" Mizuno Bettinardi BC4 355g

I really wonder how they make money with these things. They last so long. That seems like a bad thing for the manufacturer.

I love Zero Frictions... they make me smile because they won't die. I generally use them only with driver and an occasional 3-wood and they are indestructable. Plus, they are my favorite snake oil for golf. I'll give one to a friend and if they slice or hook one off the tee I tell them its because they didn't line up the tee properly.

Try Stinger tees. they are the best. You can get them on Ebay. The ball just jump off the face and you don't even feel the fee at all.

I reviewed the Stinger Tees for this site too, and the Zero Friction tees as mentioned.

I use the Zero Friction tees primarily because they don't break. That's been covered. While I like the Stinger tees, I primarily use them nowadays to get some laughs. Watching a drunk guy try to balance a ball on the tiny head is worth a laugh every time.

The Stinger tees are, however, my second favorite of the tees out there. I tried the Brush-T and didn't like them much at all.

P.S. I use ZF tees on all drivers, some 3-woods (though usually I try to use a stub or a Stinger), and never on irons.
