Zero-Friction Tees

[Uncle Peter]

I have a friend of mine who is constantly urging me to switch to these tees. What's the deal with them? Do they make much of a difference, compared to normal tees?

[Zeph]

The only difference would be build quality and how long they last. As far as ball speed, trajectory and all that stuff, there is no difference.

[Uncle Peter]

Yea, I tried them out during a round today and only ended up using 3 or 4 of them for the entire round.

They won't improve your game but it will save you some money. I bought a pack of orange ones two years ago and still haven't used half of them. I will use the same tee for 10 rounds before it breaks.

Like the others said, they wont change your game but they will save you money.  3 years ago I bought a 100 pack of ZF tees and even playing 2-3 times a week Ive still only used about half of them.  They last a very, very long time.

Last forever.

On the down side, when you are not steady, it can be frustrating getting the ball to stay on the tee. When I started some Blood Pressure meds, I stopped using these tees.

same as all of the above, i'll also note that i have a harder time getting these into some of the harder teeboxes as opposed to regular wooden tees.

Ditto, one of the clubs I play at has very hard tee boxes and I've broken more ZF tees in those boxes than I have by hitting them.

Same, except I have blue ones with the University of Kansas on them!  I will lose one before I break it.
