berkeleybob Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Heyo! There’s a decent thread here on that subject. But for what it’s worth, I’m usually a plastic guy myself, because I’d rather keep using the same tee over and over for as long as possible. But I’m always happy to play a free tee whenever I find them.

Swood1994 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I used plastic for long time and still will if I play courses around me that have soft tee boxes. But, my home course has rock hard tee boxes so I tend to use wood because it's easier to get in the ground. When I used plastic there I joked I would have to add my impact drill to my bag in order to drill a pilot hole just to get the tee in the ground.

revkev Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 The nice thing about playing in Florida is that it is always wet. I had forgotten about how wooden tees break until I read csnoil's comment. I generally use plastic because I can use the same tee hundreds of times that way. I use long tees so on par 3's and par 4's where I'm not hitting driver I pick up whatever is laying around the tee box.

KC Golf Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I always liked wood tees. I love the look of them and I like how it breaks when you hit a nice drive. But now with plastic you just need a short one and a long one and that’s it. I have quietly converted to it and I am not looking back.

Fred Mitchell Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I stick with wood, mostly because I use the stepped / castle tees to help me ensure consistent tee height I have them in 4 heights but mostly driver and iron height with just a few stuck back for FW/ Hybrid and another height for different older / shorter driver headed driver . I am good about picking up me tees and would use plastic if I could get a selection of castle tees.

Golf2Much Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 One more vote for plastic tees and it's not because I have three college degrees in Plastics! I break wood tees about every other hole. I'll use a plastic tee for over a month or two. It's funny, I get on a roll and have a good round with a specific plastic tee and I'll keep on using that specific tee until I loose it or break it. When they break, I'll use a knife to sharpen a point and use it on par threes. Sort of a reuse strategy.

AndySP Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I like the white wood tees because they leave a mark on the driver that helps me get an idea for strike location.

GolfSpy_APH Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I've been using wood tees this year and actually found I can see if I am making swing mistakes based off the teed breaking or not. However I truly don't care. Whatever is available at a good price to play is what I will get.

Just_the_Chip Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Plastic tees. For no good reason. My cousin who is significantly better at golf than me uses them. So I started using them. I like the lines on them as I've been putting them at a consistent height now, and If I'm hitting multiple good drives, I tend to save the Tee because obviously it has good mojo until it doesn't.

ctg44 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I have been using both as available, but I generally find plenty of wood tees on the course each round to not have to buy any. I do prefer wood tees as a general rule, if not for anything else other than that I tend to lose Tees frequently because our course generally has pretty penal rough around our tee boxes and it's very easy to lose tees.

TG8 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Mainly use wood tees unless I find a plastic tee laying in the box. I like wooden because I can fix my green divots easier. Plastic always bend. i am curious if the “tour tee” is actually worth the cost. If they do last as long as they claim I may try them because I break a wooden tee every other hole since our tee boxes are pretty firm.

Bobvon24 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) I use American Flag plastic tees. I get numerous rounds out of the tee and I like the way they look. The only problem is sometimes the tee makes my ball duck hook and other times a big banana slice. It’s got to be the tee right.

chapinc Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I use plastic tees for my Driver and shorter wood tees for my hybrid, fairway woods, and irons…..I like the plastic tees because they don’t break as often and use the wooden shorter tees because I like the length.

GolfSpy_KFT Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 All wood tees, all the time for me. Not sure why exactly because I break a tee at least every few holes if not more often lol, but have just never liked plastic tees. When I’ve used them before it seemed if the ground was too hard, they’d want to bend and be harder to push into the ground than a wooden tee. tdroma98 and Woody83 2 Quote Driver: DARKSPEED X 9* Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6X (Currently Testing) Fairways: Aerojet Max 3W & 7W MCA Kai'Li White 60 Stiff Hybrid: King TEC 3H MCA MMT 85g Stiff Irons: Aerojet 6-GW KBS $-taper Lite Stiff Wedges: Snakebite Black 52/56/60 Hi-Rev 2.0 Black Stiff Putter: Super Select Newport 2.0 Ball: Tour X & ProV1x #LeftyGang Cobra 50th Anniversary Member Special Challenge (link here) Unofficial FootJoy Hyperflex BOA 2023 Review Unofficial Flightscope Mevo Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
