Wood. I figure that I've got a long way to go before tees can make a difference on my score ;)

Ah, but not on the pocketbook. Frankly, I don't think tees really matter to the score - who's going to notice an extra 0.43 yards on a tee shot? - but I really like carrying only two or three tees and KNOWING I'll be fine, not just for this round, but for the next 50 or so after it! I only carry a coin or two, too.

Well Erik -- I've played with Zero Friction tees now 3 or 4 times and I'm hooked. I like 'em and since i got a 50 pack, I figure I'm set for at least a few years.

So now It's Zero Friction for Driver/3W and natural wood tees for irons. I used to only play white painted tees but I hate cleaning the tee paint off my irons.

I use 2 3/4 inch white wood tees. They've always worked fine and I will continue to use them.

I use 3 1/4" natural color wood tees for the driver and 2 1/8" dark blue tees for all irons, 3 wood and 5 wood. I bought the blue tees in bulk a few years ago for ~$25 and they have my initials on them!

My parents gave me a pack of the zero-friction tees for Christmas. I've used them a few times but prefer the old school woodies.

I use bristle tees when I can. It just takes FOREVER to balance the ball, so most of hte time i just use a wood tee.

I've never noticed any difference.... i just use wedges tees for irons because i tee them low and the round bit at the top is perfect. Brush-T's for my woods & invicible plastic tees for my driver because they dont break.

i read about the zero friction tees review on the sandtrap site and was intrigued when it was said that these things don't break. they don't and i'm very happy with them.

I started with 6 at the course. 2 deformed, 1 broke, and lost another, in 9 holes.. They arent perfect, and they're hard toget the ball to balance on. I was using painted tees, but they were leaving scuffs on my new driver, anyone have a solution?
