Last month, we wrote a raw story on helping our environment by not having so much waste when it comes to wood tees and plastic tees that break so quickly.\u00a0 \u00a0 Its a real paradigm shift for sure.\u00a0 \u00a0 As so many are just mentally trained to use wood tees.\u00a0 \u00a0 When one becomes educated that not only is it good to save a tree, and its good to save some money, and its good to save someone from having to pick up broken tee parts, as that is a waste of time, and now we can proudly tell you, that there is a huge technical reason as well.\u00a0 \u00a0 The ball seat for which the ball is placed, does matter.\u00a0 \u00a0Some have developed prongs, some have developed brushes to create a ball seat that has less surface space touching the ball.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 \u00a0Its proven the ball seat does impact the ball flight.\u00a0 \u00a0 If you talked about this 20 years ago, it would have been a good chat, but there was no proven way to show that the ball seat matters.\u00a0 \u00a0 With the micro science now existing in launch monitors, gps ball flight tracking, and with neutral robotic testing, its a FACT, the ball seat impact is now measured.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I will never forget when we used Golf Labs to test our theory.\u00a0 \u00a0(we flew from Seattle to San Marcos, California) and we met Gene Parente, who at the time, was doing independent golf robotic testing.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The set up and the process was super cool.\u00a0 To see this big ole robot hit the golf ball, in a consistent and repeatable manner was impressive.\u00a0 \u00a0 Gene recommended a 82 mph club head speed.\u00a0 \u00a0As most non-professional golfers, that is the average club head speed. (10 years ago)\u00a0 Maybe a little higher now with such amazing improvements in head design and even the golf shaft,\u00a0 Swing speeds are on the rise!\u00a0 \u00a0 Back to the test… he started off by hitting balls off a 1) Rubber Tee Head, then 2) Wood Tee Head, and then finally our 3)Our Tee, in what we called the Pro Launcher Tee.\u00a0 \u00a0 It took the average of 10 balls per tee, and the longest drive was by whom?\u00a0 \u00a0Yes, our tee?\u00a0 \u00a0There were so many ways to read the test data.\u00a0 \u00a0What Gene told me, “your tee our performed the rubber tee, and of course the wood tee by a large margin”\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The wood tee had good stats, 2-10 drives were over 250 yards.\u00a0 \u00a0 We had 6-10 drives over 250 yards!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Most importantly, we had more roll as well!<\/p>\n
3 yards?\u00a0 \u00a0Does that really matter?\u00a0 5 more roll yards?\u00a0 Does that matter?\u00a0 \u00a0So yes we had one ball that was 8 yards better then a wood tee.\u00a0 \u00a0Does that matter?\u00a0 \u00a0Yes it matters!\u00a0 Why did it happen?\u00a0 \u00a0Because the ball seat is smaller then a wood tee head, and our surface is smooth, so there is less bite,\u00a0 So less friction at impact, means less resistance and that equals a better ball flight.\u00a0 \u00a0 This is what makes golf so special… golf is far from perfect, there is so much we cannot control… wind, how the grass is growing, and of course our swings are not perfect.\u00a0 \u00a0However, when we are in the groove and we hit the sweet spot, good things happen.\u00a0 \u00a0 So why not use the best tee with the best ball seat!\u00a0 \u00a0 Now, ready for this, we actually developed a tee called Super Pro Launcher, the ball seat was even smaller.\u00a0 \u00a0It took effort to balance the ball on the tee head as we went as small as you could go… and we tested this tee against our pro launcher!\u00a0 What happened?\u00a0 \u00a0We had almost identical results, no significant launch distance or roll distance!\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 \u00a0The ‘max’ for creating the perfect coefficient of surface was achieved with our pro launcher.\u00a0 \u00a0Going smaller is not worth the battle to balance the ball and did not add any further distance.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Our tee is a High Performance Golf Tee.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We actually have a test you can do at home to prove this.\u00a0 See our video on this topic.\u00a0 Email us if you cannot find the video.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0What about prong tees? brush tees?\u00a0 \u00a0 We will say this, most of these don’t break after one or two hits.\u00a0 They last\u00a0 perhaps a round or two.\u00a0 \u00a0So that is way better then the poor wood tee.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Now of great interest to us, and told to us at last years PGA Show in Florida.\u00a0 \u00a0 When the ball leaves our tee, it is leaving a clean edge, a clean surface, which is better then leaving a ‘prong’ or a ‘brush’.\u00a0 \u00a0 I asked Gene if I should test against the other high performance tees…. he said.\u00a0 \u00a0Save your money, as its not worth it.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I would love our tee to be in a contest and we can call it the Golf Tee Olympics, bring on all challengers!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I asked why do some tees claim 10 yards more distance?\u00a0 \u00a0He said try juicing the robot to 140 mpg, you will get 10 more yards for sure.\u00a0 (Smile)<\/p>\n
Conclusion – our ball seat is the best, and our tee body is the best.\u00a0 It will not break.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Can our tee wear out?\u00a0 \u00a0yes, and we will talk about that last month?\u00a0 What can happen to the tee head after its hit by a PGA monster hitter?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
