anyone use brush tees?

[Mok]

anyone use these? how do they compare with regular wooden tees?

[Focker Singh]

ahhh...never tried them myself but have seen my buddies use them...they seem ok to use...i dont see anything different that will affect the contact of the ball and club...only crappy thing is when you lose them off the tee box cause they're expensive...haha...

the only problem i see with the brush tees are you can't tee the ball up close to the ground right?

[Focker Singh]

that too...brush tee's are mainly for when you want to tee it up high for drive...i think the scientific reason for a brush tee is to offer less resistance off impact than a wooden tee...super slow motion shows that the brush tee reduces that...but to each their own...its so insignificant that I could care less...

[Michael]

in the long run, does using brush tees save you money? do they break easily?

[Focker Singh]

save money? nah, not really...i buy a bag of 100 tee's for about $7...lasts me more than 2 seasons...1 brush tee is $3-5. Go figure...haha

anyone use these? how do they compare with regular wooden tees?Only thing I know is the guy I played with that had them always got left behind on the tee box loking for his "special tee". One of our foursome gave him a hand full of normal tees so he would put his "special tees" away. He got the hint.

:rofl: agreed...one buddie of mine uses them too and when they can't find their "special tee" after they tee off it slows everyone down cause he can't stand to lose it...

[Ego Woods]

It's quite a hassle because you have to put it in this special container that keeps the brissels firm after every hole......

[Special_K]

I'm dying to know if it works though! They look so goofy. I also didn't think the resistance of the tee made that much of a difference. I mean, at the velocity at which you swing a golf club, doesn't that little wooden tee have as much of an effect as a bug hitting your windshield while you're doin 120 on the 401? Beats me. If somebody knows something different, I'm dying to know!

Special, I guess ur not willing to spend 9 bucks to find out either....;)

[Special_K]

Special, I guess ur not willing to spend 9 bucks to find out either....;)Damn straight! :D You're talking to the guy who hasn't bought a bag of tees in over two seasons. I've kept myself going from finding tees on the ground on the course and at driving ranges, given to me by friends, using the freebies stuck in the powercarts, etc.

First, they allow you to tee the ball EXACTLY at the same height each time thus promoting consistent attack and launch angles. Second, they are VERY durable, if you have a consistent "flat spot" at the bottom of your swing arc. I have had the same three pack of Brush Tee's since June of 2003.

[SW20 MR2]

My friend's dad uses them, and his only complaint is that the bristles will fall off over time.

Here's the deal. The rules of golf do not allow a tee to be designed in a way that it would improve a player's performance. Period.

So, everything you hear about them is basically marketing hype. The only thing these brush tees help you with is guaranteing you to tee-up a ball consistantly to the same height. That's all.

If you like them, play them. But don't expect to put your ball on viagra.

[smak]

Yes, I did.

There are pros and cons about it. It's good when you practice on the range with your driver, I meant on the real grass range. You save tee and time. The bad thing is that they are about $2.5 each and you can break them easily by hitting the ball too low. Also you have to put them back in the container after each round in order to retain the shape of the bush. For me, they only work for my driver. Even they come with different size, it's still too high for my fairway woods.

Tees?? - I don't ever use tees - i like to hit my ball from the same position ALL THE TIME!! - It really helps you understand your ball flite more and if you hit it the same way off the tee as you do on the fairway you don't have to change anything for certain shots.

One example is i sometimes like to hit my driver on the long Par 5's and hitting it off the fairway is the same as hitting it off the tee decks!!

Besides i never have to look for my tee or get up to hit and having to ask someone for tee! - i'm a great guy to play with as no one is ever waiting for me to hit!!:D

There is a bit of a spirited debate going on on the TGDB over these. I know someone here said the rules of golf do not allow a tee to be designed in a way that it would improve a player's performance.
Looks like that has changed if this company's claim is true. The pro already have them in their hands. I may try some out, but I have the feeling that I'll be sticking to wood.

[roboguard]

i have bought a set and was told if they are buried to the hilt where the brush is above ground only that will make them last longer....and yes they can add 20-30 yards to each tee off......
:p

I bought some of those last year, there are 2 different lengths. Cost is approx. $7.95 for 15:eek:

They are somewhat flexible and difficult to get in the ground when tee conditions are firm. The longer size, just over 3" are not very durable, most break after a couple of tees shots, they are also "springy" sometimes popping out of the ground and flying away making them difficult to find. The shorter size is more durable and last for many rounds.

[kimo62]

I used them for about half a season(the yellow one, for the driver). they are great to the extent that the ball is the same height each and every time.I,ve never had to search for one coz they just stayed int he ground for me.
Did they go straighter? YES.
Did they go further?NO.
Do they look amatuerish(is that a word?)YES.
I do however use them at the range... so I don't have to chase my wood tees around.

Stick with the wood tees.they just look better.........and they fit nicely in you pocket.:)

[dks_34]

I used them for a couple of rounds. i found that if you didn't put them back in the container, the bristles would get all bent and the ball would some times fall off. I much prefer the regular wood tees.

[iyell4]

:clap: you're hittin' driver-off-da-deck consistently with a bulbous (>330cc) modern day driver??
kudos to you. I rarely see anyone try this (successfully), even watching events on Tour. I envy your consistent, on-plane, pure swing!

If Trevino thinks "even God can't hit a one iron", I wonder what he'd say about you. :confused:
Get yer stix blue-printed pronto! and head to Monday qualifying next weekend or Q-school in the fall!:)

Dont waste your money they suck...

[Mister_Clutch]

I tried them last year a few times and really liked them (the feel was different, though as some of the other guys have said, it can't IMPROVE your ball flight etc., that's illegal)... HOWEVER, since the bottom of my Driver "grazes" the ground, I always seemed to dent or splinter the "brushes" or I'd catch it and project it off the tee... and since they're not white, they'd be lost...

Overall, not worth the money, unless you have a soft swing and swing UP to the ball... but if you do that you're not likely to buy these, you've got some other things you probably spend you're money on... GOLF BALLS... :rofl:

[Grobar]

Some people like them, some don't. My friend loves them and chases after them constantly (after drives). I tried it and did not see the benefit, so I gave up on them. Wood tees are cheaper and easier to carry in your pocket, etc...

[sbell0524]

I have two brush T's and only use them at the range... I seem to break alot of wooden tee's, so at the range they come in handy as I can just tee up again and I'm ready to go. On the course I stick to regular tees...

[DubRepublic]

I have one and I like it alot. But I'm lazy so I usually just stick to my regular wood tees.

[Big Shooter]

for every OEM there's a knock-off, and it seems BRUSH TEES are No Different: http://www.knetgolf.com/knetgolf/default.asp?view=detail&code=9214405520&r=0&isle=3 (http://www.knetgolf.com/knetgolf/default.asp?view=detail&code=9214405520&r=0&isle=3) :cool: :rolleyes:

I do as well sometimes, but if they go flying/break i eventually revert back to wooden tees...

Exact same thing with me. I only use them at the range and then only to save my wodden tees for the course.
