Tee problems

I am relatively new to golf and have only been playing for several months. When i walked into my pro shop the other day i was astounded by the huge variety of tees. Is there any advantage to using say a brush tee instead of a conventional wooden one? What are your opinions?

Hi Dan,

Purley gimmicks mate, it is almost impossible to say a brush tee makes the ball go further.


Buy some simple wooden ones, tee it just off the grass for irons and a little higher for your woods.

Hi this is Steve Bean.
I am a teaching Professional in southern California.
The only way a tee will matter is in your pocket bill. With a driver speed of 80 to 110 mph I dont think a wooden tee has any affect on the clubface.

I'll second that.

The brush tees are neat - they give you a consistent tee height - but I don't think they'll add yards.

I prefer 2.5" tees myself. They can be used for both irons and woods (irons especially when they break).

I don't think brush tees are legal for tournament play are they?? Or and tees with preset heights.

i agree there its all about money, besides that you should try teeing up a ball on some of them tees your golfing buddies will get a good laugh, buy the cheep wooden ones.

Thanks all you've probably just saved me quite a bit of money!

Hey all,

i have also looked a brush tees. I dont use them tho i use woodern tees and the winter tees for frozen ground.

Brush tees are perfectly legal to use in sanctioned play, and I swear by them not at them. I always get the perfect height and the ball seems to come off my driver cleaner. I have added 20 yards + since switching to the oversized Brush-T.

Hello all,

I agree the only different i find in tee is how long they are. I use woodern ones for the driver, but the small plastic peg tee for the short par 3 where i use an iron. Hope this helps

Actually, I've started to use the Brush Tee Biodegradable Zero Friction Tee. It is supposed to add yards to your drive and make you hit less off line. I have noticed nothing of that. The reason I use them is simply that they seem unbreakable and will last forever.

I have also tryed the brush T and the Lite T in the past and i have them in my bag along with my plastic pegs ( 3 different sizes) and my woodern ones ( 3 sizes )
