Hi,
Just wondering does anyone have an opionion on whether it is better to use wooden or plastic tees when using your driver, does it even make a difference?

I dont think it has any impact on your shot quality if thats what your asking. After all we are supposed to strike ball first.

I use plastic tees mearly as the give me a set height (driver) and they last longer then 1 hole.

Agreed, I break a wooden tee every time I use one with a driver whereas 1 short and 1 long plastic tees gets me through a whole round.

Went back to old two thickness plastic tees, main reason was to get exact height every time for driver. They last for about 5 rounds. You loose them in the rough is the only way they go.

I thank all wooden tee users as I use them for par trees , thanks lads, your left overs are mine.

If you can tee a ball on splinters, then you're welcome to them! :D:D

Of course... and with Wooden, they have to be white.

And I bet your the guy who buys them off me for 10 a penny coz your too mean to pay for new ones.

By the way it was meant to be a joke, so take your rolled up eyes and.............

Has to be plastic, adds at least 30 yards carry to my drives.

Wooden tees and they must be white.
I break too many of them also and it's not a sign of power but rather a sign that you are likely hitting down on the ball which is not ideal with the driver.

nerd alert...

Bought a big bag of green wooden tees a couple of years ago very, very cheap.

Realised fairly quickly why they were so cheap, after every drive they couldn't be found

what ever you fancy using yourself===i prefer the wooden tees others prefer plastic.

its an individual choice.

I always use wooden tee, when the driver is performing well i wont break one all round, if i'm hitting it crap, every shot requires a new tee;).

You'll have to let us know where you're getting these magic tees.

I use pink plastic ones. They were the only colour in the shop when I was out and I struggle to break them.

Out as in out of tees by the way.

So you have come out with pink tees.

+1 - I would tend to go around with the same wooden tee for several rounds. What happens to them after a while is that the top starts to chip away and the ball then starts to fall off

I wish I could say the same about golf balls - I lose them by the shedload these days.:mad:

I'm surprised this reason has not been posted yet.

Wooden but has to be painted.

This way they leave a mark on the bottom of the club so you can use as a point of impact marker or even see if you cut across the ball or too much on the inside

Plastic as two guys here in Waterford make them and i get them for free off them

Painted white and blue wooden tees for me.Don't know why but I never liked the plastic tees.
