Zero Friction Tees

[ET-Taylor]

The Starter at my home course found a couple and I normally buy tees before i go out and he said to me here is a couple of tees for you to try and he gave me some ZF tees and they are really good

[TinCupTampa]

I use ZF tees when I am at the range but not during a round. Most people do not know that you have to place the tee in the ground with a specific prong pointed forward or it will impart weird spin on the ball... so pay attention.

On the course... I use stinger tees. Sure, they snap easily but the are best tee on the market in terms of reducing friction and spin.

i took one from my buddy who uses them in LDA competitions and I played 3 18 hole rounds with it before it took a crap.. Awesome tees for sure.

I'll stick with the yellow-banded TPS tees.

I do like how the Zero Frictions last a long time....they are just a pain in the rear to get the ball on....and keep it on.

I really like the tees. I've been playing them for a couple months and have yet to break or loose one.

The above is just really hard for me to believe. Do you have any factual proof?

I have the zero friction tees and like them, but I like the Epoch tees better. They last just as long if not longer, the and they have are easier to get the ball onto.

Here is a linl:

There is actually a notice on the package. It sorta makes sense, but realistically I'm not sure how much spin a small portion of tee could impart on a ball in that short amount of time.

Agree. Have tried both and the Epoch tees seem to be even more sturdy and are easier to put into the ground. The ball does not fall off as easily. Bought 50 5 months ago and am on the third tee. Lost the first one and broke one.

I dunno if I believe the hype with the ZFT. Really, how could a tee affect distance or spin? I mean, I can understand it acting differently when you hit it fat or something, but that's about it.

With an iron, I usually use a broken tee and just pick the ball up 1/4" from the ground and I swing at it as if it was actually on the ground. I find that I get errant shots if I use a 1" tee into hard ground, which we have a lot of in my area. Some people tee up their iron shots up to 1" I don't understand this, am I doing it wrong?

... an indestructible tee would be a nice thing to have.

Not quite indestructible, but I had a tee that was a rubber/plastic mix that was a little flexible and very durable. I used it for a LONG time before it finally could not be bent anymore and snapped in half. Looked just like a regular wooden tee. I enjoyed that red tee, think I am going to go look for one at the pro shop.

I seem to break them all the time! Woods, irons doesn't seem to matter!

They also bend badly and are tricky to get into hard ground.

I used ZF tees, once. They were pretty cool, but sometimes (especially now when it's sub-50* all the time), they can be tough to stick in the harder tee boxes. I never really break my wooden tees anyway, though. On par 3s I always find a broken tee and use that. I usually only break 1 or 2 every nine holes.

A friend told me that ZF tees will mark and eventually crack the face of your driver? Anyone heard about this?

What your friend meant to say was that he was ON crack.

All I knew about zero-friction tees was that they were supposed to offer less friction to the ball as it left the tee, which I recognized as basically worthless. However, the consensus here seems to be that they are more durable than normal wooden tees. Is this due to how zero-friction tees are constructed or is this specific to certain models of tee? Why not build normal tees like this?

Why not build normal tees like this?

I've seen plastic tees in the traditional shape.

I use more broken tees than new ones. I did pick up a bag of bright orange wooden ones - longer than all the ones I already have - thanks G10! - they were really cheap. So cheap in fact, they don't just break on impact - they disintegrate.

I have dozens and dozens of tees thanks to walking and carrying my bag. The front of some tee boxes (especially the ladies') are littered with good tees - I'm so cheap.

So the zero-friction tees are usually plastic?

I have to agree with this post
