What size should Golf Tees be?

From a poll of GOLF's Top 100 Teachers, the ideal tee height is about 1.5 inches for driver. A good checkpoint is that half the ball “peeks” above the crown after you sole the club at address. For a 3-wood, peg it about half an inch and just a quarter inch with an iron.

What size tee should I use with a driver?

The 3.25-inch and 4-inch tees are ideal for drivers, especially those with large heads. Tee height is somewhat personal preference, but generally you want to tee the ball high enough so at least half of the ball is above the club head when you address the ball with your woods.

Why do I hit my 3 wood farther than driver?

Players who hit their 3- or 5-wood as far or longer than their driver are typically using too little loft with the driver for their clubhead speed. You know, it's a funny thing with the driver and its loft compared to the other clubs in the bag.

Step 1: What You'll Need

Since this type of project has never been done (or at least I couldn't find any tips online anywhere for how to proceed), I didn't know really what to expect as far as supplies go. However, now having finished this project, you will need:

Step 2: Seal the Lids

Seal the lids together by hot gluing the mason jar ring to the flat insert. This will keep them permanently together.

Step 3: Trace, Cut, Sand

Put the lids onto each jar and flip them lid-side-down onto the BACK of the scrap wood (with the "good" side of the wood facing down, away from the jars).

Step 4: Glue the Lid to the Wood

With more hot glue, I glued the top of the mason jar lid to the underside of the wood piece, matching up the lid with where I traced around it previously.

Step 5: Drill a Hole

I used a 3/8" drill bit that I taped at the thickness of my wood and drilled a hole on the green where I wanted the end to be. I stopped just before hitting the metal mason jar lid. Then I sanded the hole edges with 150 grit sandpaper.

Step 6: OPTIONAL: Paint a Mock Up

This step is optional, but it gave me an idea of where I wanted everything to go (the tee box, the green, the fairway, the rough, and the bunkers). I simply painted on the design I wanted with a rough layout. This design I will transfer onto the clay in a later step.

Step 7: Transfer the Design & Cut Lines

I turned the wood pieces over and traced the cut lines on to a piece of computer paper.

What else can you use a tee for?

You can also use a tee to mark your ball, such as when lifting the ball to identify it, or when your ball is on the putting green. They can also be handy to clean the grooves of your irons with.

Can you put a golf ball on the ground?

No, you can place your ball on the surface of the ground. The surface of the ground includes the turf, whether you might have raised it up by creating a little divot, or you may have placed a small pile of sand on the ground so you can tee your ball up.

Are all tees created equal?

All tees are created equal, unless you believe the marketing spin that the manufacturers put on their product. This is because tees must not be designed to influence the movement of the ball or assist the player in making a stroke.

What are 4 yards more tees?

4 Yards More Reduced Friction golf tees tell their story in their name. The company claims their tee technology will help you hit the ball farther, and straighter, too. But these are not your father’s golf tees. Made from plastic, the 4 Yards More tees have a flexible six-prong top. That helps to reduce friction and resistance between the ball and tee, allowing you to made cleaner contact. Some golfers will be turned off by the innovative design, but these tees can get the job done for those willing to take a chance. They also don’t lack in durability, as they are advertised to last for more than 100 shots.

What is the difference between plastic and wood golf tees?

Wood golf tees are the originals, and probably the most common type. While the stiff-nature of the wood is good for performance, wood golf tees do tend to break more easily, so durability is not their strong suit. Plastic golf tees, on the other hand, won’t snap in half during a monster drive, but they do have a tendency to bend.

What are zero friction tees?

These plastic tees feature three prongs instead of one, but maintain a traditional-looking design. The prongs reduce the surface contact leading to longer drives without utilizing any strange-looking features. Zero Friction claims their tees have been used in 70 Tour victories, so though some golfers might have trouble getting the ball to stay on the tri-pronged tip, if you stick with them you could see some yardage gains.

What are Martini golf tees?

The Martinis have a ball rest that’s shaped like a martini glass. But it’s not just for show. The company claims the unique cupped ball rest reduces friction on tee shots, resulting in longer, more consistent drives. The tees come in a variety of different pastel colors, or you can opt for a mixed bag.

What are the epochs on golf balls?

The Epochs feature a plastic design with four shallow prongs, or “radius posts,” to rest your ball on, and they come in several different sizes and colors. In addition, you can get Epochs with colored rings to help you maintain consistent tee heights, and those come in many different color options as well.

What is a brush tee?

Brush-T is no different, but their chosen design is far more radical. Brush-T creates brush-style golf tees, which use a series of plastic bristles instead of the traditional ball rest. If you can get over the out-of-this-world design, you might enjoy the performance benefits.

Why do golf tees break?

Wood golf tees have a tendency to break, which causes two problems. First, you have to carry a bunch to last you a full round, and , second, broken wood tees accumulate on golf courses which can be unsightly and even environmentally problematic.
