My golf trainer had me using a tee I am not sure why I did not ask him where he got it. Basically its a rubber range tee thats almost as short as a wood tee but instead of playing the ball on the rubber part you insert a wood tee that you can hit off of. I prefer a real tee rather then the ranges rubber one and I dont have a grass golf range anywhere near me. I would do anything for one...

hmm... this seems interesting.   now, the mat tee i have only cost me $1 (the deposit i left at the range), but i like the idea of being able to tee it however high i want.. especially being able to practice teeing off w/ a 3w, hybrid or iron.

i ordered one (fyi: its $2 cheaper on their home site instead of ebay - link is on the ebay page).  i hope i like it.

Looks great. Shame my local range uses auto-feeder mats. :(

My range just switched to something very similar to this, without the three holes and little tether. I can't stand these! Why should I burn through my own tees because the range doesn't want to replace their little triangle three-tee deal? Are they really that expensive to replace?

These things just make a huge mess on the range stalls with broken tees everywhere. Tees fly out on to the range, and often too far to safely walk out and retrieve it.

Just pick up a couple rubber ones in the right heights for your clubs.

as a follow up, i got my tee last week, and i LOVE it.   much better then using a rubber tee.   i recommend this to everyone...

btw: i don't get xxsoultonexx's hate for it.  the holes that hold your tee are very tight.  after using it for 3 range sessions, i only knocked out/broken one tee.  also, tees are cheap, i'd hardly call it an issue to have to use my own.  have you ever hit at a grass range?

I'd much rather hit off of a real golf tee set to the right height than the rubber tees at the range. You can never find the right height and it's a mess to change them out.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
