What Tees Do the Pros Use?

I’ve been really curious about what types of tees the pros use on the PGA Tour and other professional circuits. It seems like there’s a lot of options out there, and I want to know what I should look for when picking tees for my own game. Are the professionals leaning more towards wooden tees or are they using plastic ones?

Here are a few things I’m particularly interested in:

  • Material: Is there a preferred material that gives them better performance?
  • Brand & Model: Which brands and specific models do the pros like the most?
  • Height & Size: Is there a specific height or size that they prefer to help with their shots?

I’ve heard anecdotes that some pros swear by certain tees, and I would love to hear from anyone who has insights or recommendations based on what they’ve seen or even used themselves. This could really help me as I try to improve my own game. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I’ve noticed that many pros use wooden tees, particularly in tournaments. They seem to offer more stability for driver shots. What do you all think?

3

That’s interesting! I love how some pros swear by plastic tees for their durability. They’re much less likely to break.

4

I think it really depends on personal preference. I’ve seen Rory McIlroy using wooden tees consistently, but others prefer the flexibility of the plastic ones.

5

Exactly! Plus, some plastic tees come in different shapes that help with elevation. It’s fascinating!

6

I’ve seen professional golfers recommend specific tee heights for different clubs. It’s true, a higher tee can help with driver shots.

7

What about sizes? I feel like I often choose the wrong height. Any tips on how to select the right tee size?

8

A good rule of thumb is that the top of the driver should be above the top of the tee. It really makes a difference!

Does anyone have a favorite tee brand? I’ve heard good things about the Zero Friction tees; they have that unique shape that helps with aerodynamics.

10

I’ve tried those! They are great. However, I prefer the classic wooden tees for simplicity.

It’s funny how some golfers are die-hard fans of specific tees. What about you all? Do you think the material really affects performance?

12

Definitely! Different materials can alter spin and distance. Golf is so detail-oriented, every little thing counts!

13

I wonder if there’s a psychological edge with certain tees too. If a pro believes in their tee choice, it might boost their confidence!

I mostly choose tees based on what on sale, haha! Anyone else feel budget dictates their choices?

15

Absolutely! But I do think investing in good tees can have long-term benefits. Quality matters!

I’ve noticed that many pros favor high-performance tees made of rubber or composite materials. They can really help with distance and stability. Have any of you tried them?

18

That’s a great observation! I also read somewhere that wooden tees can sometimes provide better feedback on impact. It’s interesting how personal preference plays such a big role!

I’ve tried various tees over the years. The difference in stability with some of the plastic tees is noticeable, especially in windy conditions.

Timothy, do you think the stability of plastic tees really impacts your score? I’m curious about how much an equipment change can affect gameplay.
