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.

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.

That's all I have been using for my driver. Bought 2 packs about 6 months ago and only have broken 2 tee's. I may retire and die before I ever use up both packs, and i'm about to turn 48 next month! Like others said, don't know how they are going to stay in business the way these tee's last.

so i guess no one has tried the consistent tee. these tees like the zero friction tee in that they are very hard to break and last a while, but they are also set at a certain height so your ball is set up at the same height all the time for consistency. the bad thing is i think they only offer it in one height and everyone has there own height that they are comfortable with, but the consistent tee happens to be the perfect height for me and my driver is 440cc so it may work well with others who have driver heads around 400-460cc. they claim to get 10 yds more carry and 15 yds more roll but i have yet to verify this. i just like the fact that my height is always the same and this allows me to be more consistent off the tee. just my own little review of the consistent tee. they are alittle more expensive being 4.99 for 10. That being said i still like the zero fiction tee and i played them for a while and they are tough as nails, i still have 44 of my original 50. I still use them when i want a different height on my tee shots like on windy days and such.

I've never used the zero friction tee yet. The Stinger tees are made here in Ohio, so I try to support companies in Ohio if possible. The Stinger tend to break because of the very thin shaft, but I always wonder if its really just in our head that a tee could give another 5-10 yards?

I've been using the ZFs for a while. I go through them a little faster it seems than most of the posts here. The problem isn't breaking them. They go so much farther than wooden tees and sometimes I just can't find them. I feel silly spending so long looking for them with everyone standing there. I know they're thinking, "Dude. It's just a tee!"

I've played both also and I'd say the Stinger's feel better..definitely less resistance than the ZF's..con is that they do seem to break quite easily..I guess that's the price you pay though.

I just got them too yesterday at my club..but I wish they were a little longer.

They did come out with a longer length this year. I think they are now available in 2 3/4 and 3 1/4 inch sizes. I've seen the longer ones in stores, but they are not yet as common as the originals.

I've been using these tee's for about a month, I'm on tee number 2 and I haven't started using #2 yet, #1 had one of the points or tips or whatever break off at the range last night. I love these tee's though best and most reliable tee I've ever played.

The ZF are all I use now. I got a box at the beginning of the summer and have only broke 1. I had to throw one out though because the points were blunt and it was hard to get the ball to sit.

I only use thmfor the driver though.
