Hoyoymac Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 The course where we play has firm tee boxes when it is dry resulting in breaking your tees on almost every drive. A couple of years ago one of my regular foursome started playing with the Martini tees and we all teased him about it. Fast forward now and we are all playing them. They are very hard to break. The shorter ones tend to fly out of the ground and are much easier to lose. The longer ones are also easier to get a hold of for some of the older guys. The stepped ones break more easily then the non stepped, but provide for more consistent tee height. When it is really firm ground, they can be tough to insert because they are thicker and a bit flexible. Generally the way we use them is to insert the tee and then angle it slightly rearward. The large cup supports the ball and the tea shaft is out of the way of the driver face. You never have seen a group of guys look for a tee after hitting their drive like us though! You don’t have to carry many tees once you start using them. They last a long time and don’t take up much space in the golf bag or pant’s pocket. I’ve been giving some out to members of our Men’s group to try and now lots of guys have switched over. A couple of their competitors have introduced their own version recently, haven’t tried any of the copies yet.

Firebird Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 If you could compress a ball far enough to hit the tee then all that is going to happen is the tee would move. Secondly, I have know idea how a tee could change the flight path of the ball. My wife uses rubber top tees which are double the size of a wooden tee. She loves them as the rubber piece is the perfect height for her driver. The cool thing about them is that when the plastic tee breaks you can simply replace them with wooden ones.

About that, many years ago I went to get my license transferred to Florida and at the time I forgot my glasses, I am blind without them, they never tested my vision, although I was squinting to fill up the application.
