Are there any differences bt the 3, 4 and 5 prong ZF good tee....other than the # of prongs. It seems like people are saying it's harder to keep the ball on the 3 prong tee....just wondering if this was true for the 4 & 5 prong tees as well....along w/any other differences.

I find the 3 prong to be the sturdiest, the prongs on the 5 prong tees snap off quite easily and then it's almost impossible to balance the ball

it's not hard to balance the ball on any one of them. The tees really doesn't matter, it just hold the ball up.  Don't waste your money on these tees. If you can get it for free, then its great.  This will not make you hit further or score lower,

I like them because they're durable and last forever. So I'll spend money on them. Once every three years when I run out of ten...

Yeah, I'm not looking to improve my distance and accuracy with these tees, I want durability. Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

That's great, I lose them more then breaking them. I rarely break my wooden tees. I as well can replace them every 3 years. That means your hitting is all over the place if you are looking for durability. You have the right tees if this is an issue for you. On par 3's i find a broken tee on the ground and tee of with that, they are already the perfect height. My course provides tees for us so i never had to buy any ever.

Ha ha ha ha. Ummm, no. Wooden tees break - for everyone - a lot more easily and frequently than ZF tees.

Erik, be truthful now. Are you sure your hitting is not all over the place?

Check out the "Four Yards More" tees.  I don't buy the claims about four extra yards, but they're virtually indestructible.  They also tee the ball at a consistent height every time and work better than conventional tees on windy days.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
