do you guys buy into the "technology" of the Brush-T or the Zero Friction or Stinger tees or do you prefer a regular good-old wooden tee?

In My Ozone Stand Bag:
Driver: Burner 10.5* Stiff

Irons: Tour Burner 4-GWWedges: CG14 54.12, 58.12Putter: SabertoothBall: TP Back Rangefinder: GX-IHome Course: http://www.strawberryridgegolfcourse.com/


I use the zero friction tees, but only because they dont break. I can go a whole round with only one tee, with old wooden tees I go through like 12.

Same here, and Kenny Perry (amongst others) uses the Zero Frictions.

Definetly not the brush tee. It just feels weird. The stinger and zero tees I would use, but I would not pay extra money for them.

Right now I'm just using any 3-1/4 inch wood tees as well as the white ones with the blue stripe to show hw high to tee it up. Maybe next time I'll get the zero friction ones if they don't break. A good tip I use at the range is to cut off 1 long tee so there's only like 1/8 inch in the ground each shot, and you won't keep breaking your good tees at the range.

In my White/Red/Yellow Monza Featherweight Stand Bag:
Driver: 07 Burner 9.5* stiff
3 Wood: 07 Burner 15* stiff
5 Wood: 07 Burner 18* stiff
Irons 4-AW: r7 steel shaft stiffWedges: RAC Satin 56*, 60*Putter: Rossa Daytona 35 InchBall: Bridgestone e7+, Titleist Pro V1Shoes: D3000Glove: ...


I like them cause they don't break as easily. There's no way they really affect the shot. I always use broken ones I find when I hit anything other than driver or 3w.

That's only if you use them because you think they give you yardage.

If you use them because they end up being cheaper, well, a fool that's born every minute and his money are soon parted... on wooden tees!

Callaway "unbreakable" tees. I like them and have been using just two tees for the past month. Today I broke the 1" tee with a 5 iron. Back to using broken tees for iron tee boxes. The tip of these tees also cleans grooves really well.

I use the Zero friction tees for my Driver or woods but wood for my irons.The zero friction tees last me for weeks without breaking one.

Same with me. I usually use 5-8 wooden tees per round, if I were to play all 18 with wooden.

Zero friction for the drives, and wooden for the irons. The only time i use a brush tee is if i go to the range and find one.

    • OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.
    • Option #2 because I'd add the condition that it's in a tournament. Because that'd mean I'd break par in a tournament. And I already have a hole in one.
    • Hole in one is nice, but those low rounds stick in my memory better. I have two holes in one (and a third on a pitch and putt course which I count as a half). I've shot in the 60s three times in the last 10 years or so and I remember each one pretty well. I'd take the low round.
    • Would You Rather #68: Would you rather make a hole-in-one on a perfectly struck shot, during a round where you otherwise played pretty poorly.  or  Would you rather play well all day and beat your personal best by let's say 3 strokes, but with no eagles.    I'd take option 2.   Although option 1 is always exciting, and rewarding. playing well all day is very exciting because I can also do the opposite. 
    • I've got two of them.  So for me it depends. If I'm playing with friends and they know me. I'm taking the hole-in-one. Because they know my game anyway. Let's go for the awesome moment/bragging rights.  If I'm in a tournament I'm taking the low round, because I want to win.  If I'm playing with a bunch of strangers, and I just show up, and get paired up. I'm leaning toward taking the low round. I could leave them thinking I'm better than I am. Plus for me that would be a 73. ... That would be cool.
