I use the zero friction as well, because they don't break. I don't believe they make any difference as far as distance. I hit balls at a range with grass tees, so I can go through quite a few wooden tees in a session, the zero friction hold up through several buckets of balls and reduce the need to dig in the bag after every dozen shots.

For me, the zero friction tees hook. I don't know what it is, so I use wooden, might have to retry, I saw a zero friction but it had 6 pegs instead of 3, might try that

So 35 Zero friction tees last longer than 100 wooden tee's?

Unless you're playing on cement (in which case both will last about the same - one hole), heck yes.

And Epochs are of the same variety, but a little thicker. Some people prefer those. Epochs used to break like crazy, but they reformulated and they work great now.

P.T. Barnum said it best.......

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

Wooden tees are cheaper for me. I haven't bought a tee of any kind in at least 20 years. Some courses actually give wood tees to you when you play there, but most of the time I find all I need just lying around on the tee boxes waiting to be picked up. I finish most rounds with more in my pocket than I started with.

Zero friction... they now make a shorter model I have used for FW. But (sheepishly) I like he blue Brush tee for my 3w. It just is exactly the right height for me, always.

I've tried the Zero Frictions and the Brush-Ts but they both suck. The ZFs get all deformed and they bend so sometimes I can't get them into the concrete tee boxes at some courses. And the only Brush-T I used, a section of the bristles broke on the first hit, so the ball wouldn't stay up.

I thought i would like the brushts but theres just something about them, old fas ts suck and break like crazy, so i use zero friction ts cause they dont break and i spend alot time at the driving range that is a real field with no built in ts

I break zero friction tees all the time. Maybe it's because my home course is terrible and the tee boxes are practically cement.
I dont notice a performance gain either.

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.

+1 to zero friction tees. They last forever.

    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
