Hahaha! I love the line - using industry leading standard GCquad…..then showing a GC3 LOL😂 editor knows ppl aren’t paying that close attention to snag a different photo. LOL😅
Old guy here. Love the Martini tee. Played the same pink one I found since February…till I lost it last week. But -7 yards! 😵💫 Might have to rethink those.
I’ve been using the 4 yards more tee, not because they are longer but because they don’t break and stay in the ground. The only time I loose one is when they fall out of my pocket.
I played golf in Scotland in July, one of the issues I saw over there was when the courses were dry, and 4 of the courses were very dry, plastic tees broke on almost every tee and some actually bent going into the tee box, so I switched to wood tees. In the states I only use plastic tees as they hardly ever break.
Older dude with aging eyes here, and an unabashed user of the martini tee - much easier to set the ball on it (without the tee having to be perfectly vertical into the ground). And yes, preferred color is pink 😊
I like the Martini tees. Easy to tee up, durable, and easy to find when they fly off. I don’t notice any difference in distance with my awful swing. 🤷♂️
@@Ericksonbellgolf I have used them for 2 years. I have tried with and without lean.. I can't recognize the difference, but I don't have the level of data to be definitive as my swing is pretty inconsistent.
Everyone needs to get on the Epoch golf tee. I only need 1 for 18 holes. Scientifically proven to be better than all other plastic tees. And they have those bands for consistent tee height. I’m never going back 👌🏽
Great study! I’ll keep this in mind. I have used the same Martini tee for my driver for almost 3 years now, and play a lot. Definitely don’t break those and the colors help find them
I found a red Martini tee in July. Tried it and like how easy it is to use. I have about 25 rounds in using that tee plus someone left a pink one in my cart. I’m sure I will eventually lose the red one. Happy to have the backup.
Same here, found an orange martini tee about 6 months ago. realized after about 20 rounds that this thing was indestructible and easy to find if it flies away. bought a 5 pack and don't think i'll need to ever worry about tees for my driver ever again. everything else, i just use broken tees haha.
I'm not at all surprised by the Flightpath nor Martini results, though a little surprised by the 4 Yards More outcome. I'd like to see the data on the Zero Friction prong-style design, along with the brush-style designs.
Good old fashioned wooden tees for me. I get 2 different lengths. 1 for driver and a short one for fairway/iron. I've never seen a different type that I actually thought would do what they say.
I'm a big fan of the 4 more yards tees. It's the only tee that I can use for 10+ rounds and keeps ticking. Pretty rare that I manage to mess one up. Happy to see that its not really hurting my game a whole lot as far as distance and spin. Maybe not getting 4 more yards, but I am alright with that.
The only free tees at any course I've been to, are the ones on the ground I might find. In my bag is a variety of those. Best plastic is definitely the Pride Performance Professional. They can take the most beating.
I use the standard wooden tees found at any golf course and have done so for over 60 years. As an aside, I have tested various tees marketed and available at most pro shops, and the actual results in my tests are similar to what your study found: Virtually all of the claims made by these manufacturers are bogus. Until something else hits the market that really makes a difference, I'll use the free ones. Excellent work MyGolfSpy!
I’ve a variant of all the tees tested. Tend to like the wood tee best. Castle wooden tees may be a good way to hit off wood at a predetermined height. Keep up the myth busting Adam!
I previously used the Martini Tees but last season switched to using the Tornado Tee after seeing a review on it. Nothing to do with distance claims or accuracy, it is all down to it not leaving any marks (scratches) on the bottom of the driver head. New driver from last season still looks pristine. Great test, informative as always.
Excellent test and presentation. I have used the 4 More Yards for years and it helps me tremendously for the reason you mentioned. Consistent Tee height. I am one of those people that would tee up the ball on a wooden peg, recognize the height was a little off, then hit it anyway. I knew I should adjust it but hate slow play and didn't want to be that guy. From a durability standpoint, a four pack (about $5) easily last me 100 rounds. I only use them for the Driver though. Everything else is a regular tee.
I've used the Zoomtee, made by Zoomtec in NZ, it claims aerodynamic efficiency, which I doubt, but what's kept them in my bag for the last 7 years is the fact that they're pretty much unbreakable, they stay in the ground so I don't spend time hunting for them after my shot, and their preset height (like the castle tees) is about spot-on for me (42mm from the ground). I play off 18, so I don't always (well, pretty much never) pick the ball cleanly off the tee.
I wonder if you angled the Martini tee like the instructions state on the bag? I use plastic tees I find all over the golf course. I have boxes full of them in the basement!
three cheers for the wooden FREE both full length and broken ones. tip for putting any tee into hard ground. you know that tire that is used in tire plugging. great for pre punching a starter hole. it also makes a good holder to keep your grip off the ground when the course is wet.
I tried the brush tee and the only thing I didn't like was maintaining it's shape. If you just stick it in your pocket, it gets messed up. your supposed to stick it back in it's container which is bulky in your pocket and looks ridiculous. to me, it's the equivalent of iron covers.
If you use the color lines on the wood tees, you will be able to push them into the ground at exactly the same depth every time. That means tee height will be consistent. And you can get medium and short tees for fairway woods and irons, respectively. Save your money for actual martinis 🍸.
If you're taking the time to bend down to look at the lines on your tee, I hope that I'm not playing behind you. Want to get a consistent teeing height? Just use your fingers. Place the ball along your middle finger and push the tee into the ground until your middle finger hits the ground. You can adjust the height by changing the position of he ball.
@@jts09 - Um, I have 20/15 vision, so it takes a whole 0.0001 second to see I have pushed the tee into the ground down to the painted ring around the tee.
So is it the shape of the tee, or materials used. The free tees at my course are the exact shape as the free wooden tees, yet they are made of plastic. Any difference there? Plus, if launch angle and spin rates are the same, why is one longer than another?
I'm surprised a brush tee wasn't included in the test. The ball stays at a consistent height, it never breaks and is easy to find. For everything else, I use 1.5 inch wood tees.
I have both the Zero Friction tee (which I find hard to use sometimes) and 3 1/2 inch wood tees with paint on them for proper height. (I've used the big tees ever since I got my big driver in 2014.) I would like you test the zero friction and the brush tee because I'm very curious about them but never found one to use. I'm also interested in the Tornado tee. 😃😃
Brush Tee (White Version Only) I don't think these were ever sold commercially but were available to players at Tour events many years ago. When i was playing Mini Tours and Monday Qualifiers I would stock up on them and used them for years. They never broke and lasted for ages. It may have been largely psychological but drives were longer and more noticeably more accurate for me on the course and using launch monitors
I'd love to know if putting the tee in slightly squint, leaning to one side or the other affects shot shape. Say a more left leaning tee giving more of a draw shape and vice versa.
I like the Pride Performance Prolength Plus tee. I call them molar tees because they look like back teeth. Also, not sure where Adam plays his golf but in 50 years of playing, I can count the number of courses that gave away tees on one hand. I enjoy the golf science shows a lot.
I like the short Pride plastic ones for my irons or hybrid from the tee box. For my driver, I use brush tees for the consistent height. The brush tee also seems to last forever as I'm still hitting the 1st one I bought.
I think he means they are free because people don't bother to pick them up after they tee off, where as an expensive plastic tee is rarely going to be left behind.
In 1899, Boston dentist Dr. George Grant, frustrated with this tedious and messy process, invented a wooden golf tee. Dr. Grant was born to escaped slaves in 1846, eventually finding work as an assistant at a dentist's office.
Wooden tee all the way. Too often you have trouble getting the plastic ones, any model, into the ground. I find some tees on the course, but not near enough to match how many I break, lol. I'll keep springing for the bag at Walmart I guess. If I happen to be selected for the MGS tees, feel free to ship them inside one of those very sharp MGS hats in the video, if you feel so inclined.
I go back and forth between my Martini tee and the "Free" tees at many courses (especially the expensive courses). I think I'm going to stay with the free tee since I can gain some yardage. Funny thing. Another buddy of mine and I were talking about how the ball doesn't seem to go as far in the last year and I never thought it would be from my Martini tee since we both switched last year. I guess I should tell him.........or should I?......LOL!!! Thanks for the info. You guys are the best.
Another problem with more expensive plastic tees is the obligation you feel to find it after the tee shot. I have friends who spend way more time looking for stray tees than they should. A cheap wooden tee lets you walk away and not care.
I have to own up to this one. My martini flies back a couple yards most times and I get hung up looking for it or asking friends to watch it as I hit whenever the tee box is right in front of forest/hedges.
I’ve been using 4 more yards a for years because they rarely break. Recently started using martini tee. I think it’s more durable than the 4 more yards
I ranger at a local course. One of my duties is to pickup all those broken and left behind plastic tees because the course super thinks they can damage mower blades over time. Plus they don't degrade like wood does. It's amazing what I pick up considering how "durable" they are supposed to be. Personally, I tried some bamboo tees last year and gave away half a bag of them, I would bet that only one or two out of a hundred lasted more than one use and it got to be a drag having to dig out a new tee for every drive. Good old wood can't be beat IMHO. Plus, they are environmentally friendly
I paused at 3:19 to answer the question ... basically, "does the tee matter?" Of course not, what a silly question! Now I'll watch the rest of the video.
Played these the last 4 years, consistent height always! bought 1 pack of 4 and still have every one. Carry short stubby wood tees for Iron and 3 wood tee shots, or if lazy find a broken one on the tee box🤣
I have wondered if tilting the tee backwards a little would reduce the friction of the ball leaving the tee and give greater yardage. Could you test that?
I'd be curious to see how the wood tee compares to it's plastic counterpart (same design). I like the plastic ones cause I break the less but always find whole wooden ones on the course. Truthfully, I can't remember the last time I purchased tees😁
I use tour tees, I got a packet of them about 2 years ago just so I didn't have to pay postage on an online order. Still using the same packet. They certainly last for me. I did have one break on the first drive too.
I've got 2 different martini ones. The preset for drives at specific height and the adjustable. Your making me confused with distance differences but I like the consistent insertion
I love the study, but I can’t help but think that the changes in spin, distance and launch are all just noise in the data. You should consider getting a stats guy to calculate a “p number” sometimes to help understand how reliable the differences are. I 100 % believe you can say there is “no advantage” based on this test, but I don’t know about the other conclusions.
I bought a box of 1000 colored wooden tees from China - they break A LOT - but I knew it didn't matter. So if you want to get into the tee game, maybe just make good wooden ones, you probably can't do better with a design you and your mate cooked up on the fly.
I don't care if they claim to give me 5 more yards, or cost me 5 yards. It's irrelevant to me. My ball has never fallen of a Martini tee, are super quick to tee up, and two tees last me the entire damn season (one long step tee, one short tee for 3 wood off the tee box). Exactly the perks talked about in the video.
I wonder if replicating this test outdoors with a radar-based launch monitor that can track the entire flight of the ball down range would show any variation in the results.
I think when showing the results you need to post the variance as well, otherwise we don't know the spread of values and if one tee performed consistently above another. I'm guessing the standard deviations are all higher than the difference between the means in every category for all these tees
You were not measuring the 4 Yards More tee properly. I have hit these many times in the past, and almost every time, they flew backwards 12’. So if you hit the ball and walk back and get your tee, and then measure from where the tee is to your ball, you will get 4 more yards distance to the ball. 😂
I PLAY THE WOOD TEE, CHEAPER, CAN GET CUSTOMIZED WOODEN PAINT COLOR SCHEMES ... THE WOOD IS SO MUCH MORE A TRADITION TOO!!!!!. i TRIED THE AFORE OTHER PLASTIC TEES NEVER EMPRESSED ME . I STICK WITH THE CUSTOM NARROW WOOD TEES !!!!!!
Good Ole 3 dollar pack of of Walmart wooden tees for me. And at the at least the 10 I find laying around the course. They are in the parking lot, tee boxes, even in the middle of the fairway.
I would like to see the specifics of the study. Like swing speed/ball speed, attack angle, spin rate, launch angle of the testers. How many testers where there? Was it a robot? Wonder if this would change the results. Was there any statistical analysis to see if the results were significant? Did the testers get tired ? Was there any thing to control for human error ? These questions might have good answers but would be nice to know them. Not quite buying the results until specifics are given.
There used to be a company called TefTee which had a Teflon coat on it and would never break I still ha e some from years ago. I don't know why they aren't around anymore (maybe because Teflon causes cancer and people put tees in their mouth regularly) those were the best though.
I love the Martini. Nothing to do with distance. These things are hard to break. A 5-pack of tees last me the entire season golfing four or five times per week.

Do plastic tees cause more or less damage to a driver, if any at all? That's the reason I prefer wood.
I wonder if replicating this test outdoors with a radar-based launch monitor that can track the entire flight of the ball down range would show any variation in the results.
The martini shape is good for seniors because the ball doesn’t fall off and have to re-teed
Tour Tee is by far the best!
I think when showing the results you need to post the variance as well, otherwise we don't know the spread of values and if one tee performed consistently above another. I'm guessing the standard deviations are all higher than the difference between the means in every category for all these tees
You were not measuring the 4 Yards More tee properly. I have hit these many times in the past, and almost every time, they flew backwards 12’. So if you hit the ball and walk back and get your tee, and then measure from where the tee is to your ball, you will get 4 more yards distance to the ball. 😂
Wood tees for me. I've tried all kinds of tees that I have found. No discernable difference.
I PLAY THE WOOD TEE, CHEAPER, CAN GET CUSTOMIZED WOODEN PAINT COLOR SCHEMES ... THE WOOD IS SO MUCH MORE A TRADITION TOO!!!!!. i TRIED THE AFORE OTHER PLASTIC TEES NEVER EMPRESSED ME . I STICK WITH THE CUSTOM NARROW WOOD TEES !!!!!!
4 more yards is the best tee. I've used one tee for now then one season and I play 10 times a month minimum all year
I like the martini tees. Same height every time.
Good Ole 3 dollar pack of of Walmart wooden tees for me. And at the at least the 10 I find laying around the course. They are in the parking lot, tee boxes, even in the middle of the fairway.
The ole fairway tee. 😂
Simple wooden tees with lines, gotta keep it simple. If different tees were that big of a deal than pros would talk about it more.
I would like to see the specifics of the study. Like swing speed/ball speed, attack angle, spin rate, launch angle of the testers. How many testers where there? Was it a robot? Wonder if this would change the results. Was there any statistical analysis to see if the results were significant? Did the testers get tired ? Was there any thing to control for human error ? These questions might have good answers but would be nice to know them. Not quite buying the results until specifics are given.
I’ve tried them all, and always end up going back to wooden tees
There used to be a company called TefTee which had a Teflon coat on it and would never break I still ha e some from years ago. I don't know why they aren't around anymore (maybe because Teflon causes cancer and people put tees in their mouth regularly) those were the best though.
No Stinger Pro XL Competition tees?
I love the Martini. Nothing to do with distance. These things are hard to break. A 5-pack of tees last me the entire season golfing four or five times per week.
Was the flightpath straighter?
Dr George F Grant was the 1st person to invent the wooden tee in 1899? He was the 1st Black dentist to graduate from Harvard Dental School?
I use a plastic tee just cause they usually last longer compared to the wooden tees.
Love the Martinis too
Have to nit pick. Launch < is actually "launch less than" not launch angle.
I like the Western Birch bamboo golf tees
Should’ve tested the naked lady tees too! The surge of testosterone from looking at them before I tee off helps me crush my drives 😂
