Non-wooden Tees

[xian]

I played an entire round with a single tee today. After reading the Zero Friction tee review , I was definitely curious. I got a free 2-tee sample pack from Golf Gods and finally got to try them out today. They weren't the Zero Friction, they were these . Highly recommended. I only used one of them and hit down on it pretty well on all 4 par-3s. After the round it was no worse for the wear, just a little dirty. So, if you haven't tried some "alternative" tees, you might consider it.

We reviewed those too:

Ah. I missed that one. You mention the Epoch tees not being suitable on par-3s but you didn't give a specific reason why. Did you manage to break them? As I said, I used them on all the par-3s today and failed to break one.

I will be trying the Zero Friction tees next so tha I can compare (plus they're cheaper). It's so odd that such a cheap piece of golf equipment made me so happy.

The head is rather big for a par three type thing, and I think that hitting the tees with the blade of an iron is more likely to damage them. I like my ball sitting on a small-headed tee on par 3s, almost like it's hovering in the air.

But anyway, the epoch tees break more readily, but not much. When they do, they usually break on the little extended parts that touch the ball, and when one of those breaks, your ball just falls off the tee unless you angle it. Kind of annoying... Plus, like I said, the groove-cleaning ability of the Zero Frictions is pretty good.
