What’s Your Go To Golf Tee?

[RATOUR7]

I played the plastic for a long while but I since went back to the wood .Trying keep the plastic from the damage it causes to mowing equipment and the grass and soil.. Plus it's stylish .    to see tees with lettering and paint schemes etc..

I use a Martini polymer tee for my drives and wood tee for Par 3 and 3 woods. 

Love the Martini Tees with driver (alternate rounds between white & pink Martini Tee). Used same White Martini Tee from 2017 to 2022, (finally broke it July 2022)!  Have a 12 pack shaker of Martini Tees purchased in 2017, have 10 + 6 addition found. Durable tees!  Use 2 1/2" plastic red, white & blue tees for iron & fairway wood tee shots.

My oldest son found a pink Martini Tee on the ground one day and it instantly became his favorite.  One which he does not use often if he thinks he may lose it.  It cracks me up.

Nov 23-2020 MGS review of Martini tee review loss of distance-https://mygolfspy.com/2020-golf-tee-test/MARTINI

OBSERVATIONS:

In this golf tee test, we found no evidence to support Martini’s distance claims.

We found evidence to support a loss of distance.

Data suggests a modest reduction in sidespin. However, it didn’t result in shots that were, on average, straighter than wood.

OTHER NOTES:

The Martini tee is the easiest to tee up, which does provide a benefit for golfers with limited range of motion or shaky hands.

The Martini tee is phenomenally durable and its larger design and bright colors make it easy to find on the tee box.

There is a legitimate reason why it’s popular with senior golfers.

I like the plastic tee's because I consistently break the wood tees. I do need markings on the tee, so I can consistently have the same ball height.

In my case I didn't buy on the distance claim, I like the consistent height tee provides for driver and durability.  MyGolfSpy also did a tee comparison plastic vs wood a couple of years ago and found the wood tees are still the best off the tee. 

Sadly your last point makes me realize I really am a senior golfer!

I use the "3 yards more" plastic tee.  I tried them after my daughter, who just got a job bought them for me with her own money as a fathers day present.  I went out and figured I better actually try them, because she was going to ask if I had.  I also historically was someone who went through on average 12-14 wooden tees a round.

I went out and said I was going to use them for the entire round, which I did.  I have to be honest I found the uniform tee height, as these have a little stopper on how far they push into the ground to be a great thing.  Before I would just kind of stick the tee in the ground and really didn't pay attention to how far, and just eyeballed it.  I don't believe I got the 3 yards more but I find the much more uniform tee height great for me.  And I can get a minimum of 6 rounds out of one, if I don't forget to pick it up.

Currents I use the Martini tee with the stopper so I get the ball at the same height every time.  I have a pink one and a white one…..both found.  It gives me the correct height for my 12* PXG 0811 XF driver.

[RITZ]

Good points everyone above on ease of use and assisting on correct tee height. When I read the review results on Martini tee loss of distance I am worried about that as I don't hit it long enough to lose any distance off the driver.  I wonder why that happens just from a cupped tee like Martini?

Foz, great colors! Love the pink & white colors!

I use the blue 4 yards more for my driver, not because of the claim you get 4 more yards, it's so I can always put it in the ground the same height.

Our Club provides wooden tees and unfortunately people abuse it. New tee every hole and leave it laying around. Terrible for the mowers and I'm sure there is a cost associated with the waste. I use a Martini tee for the driver which I thought I would never use. Have had the current one in play for over 6 months and I play 4-5 times a week. Lucky to be in AZ. Bought a bag of the short wood tees as I don't have to push so deep in the ground to get the correct height on par 3's. Last a couple rounds before they chip and need to be replaced.
