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.

These golf science videos are awesome. Keep 'em coming!

Pride professional assorted plastic tees is my tee of choice. They just last longer than wooden tees is all. Thanks for all the videos👌

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.

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 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.

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. 🤷‍♂️

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.

The Brush Tee. I have been using them for ten years. I switched to the yellow XL tee from the orange tee since the drivers got bigger.

Awesome video. Thanks again.

Wooden tees in my bag! Best video series/ channel on KZread! Keep it up, team!

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'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.

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.

Those are my choice as well. Nice to have the consistent height for tee shots as well without having to think about it.

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.

Very surprised you didn’t use the tornado tee too. Most popular tee in long drive

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.

good old wooden tees in my bag forever love your videos need me to get a my golf spy tee shirt

I’m rocking some Amazon plastic martini tees. Super tough and don’t break often.

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!

The yellow and orange wedge tees are my favourites. Hard to break and easy to find.

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.

As a non-member, I don’t find free tees as much anymore. It’s always a $1.50 for a small pack. Kinda crazy.

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!

1899, Boston dentist Dr. George Grant, frustrated with this tedious and messy process, invented a wooden golf tee.

Great test. 👍 Unfortunately, I've yet to find a course in Scotland where I can get free wooden tee's. Except the one's I find on the course.

I’ve tried every plastic tee in the market today. Nothing beats a wooden tee.

“The wooden tee, guaranteed to be free at a golf course near you”😂😂

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.

First video I watched! I have been following yinz on another site though

I have both Martini and Short wooden tees in the bag!

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 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. 😃😃

Love the video

Oh. By the way I use the pride tps or wooden. What ever I find not broke on a tee box. Love MGS too

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.

i have always used the painted wooden tee, but several pals use the castle or step down tee for relative consistent height.

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!

I use the Martini style tee or sometimes the castle tee. I might need to look at using the wooden tee.

Brush tee next please? or stingers? or tornado tees, looking forward to the next round 8)

I love the martini tees, easy to tee the ball up, and they don’t break.

Recently been playing plastic but switching it back to wood thanks mgs

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 🍸.

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.

Pride Performance ombo pack. I love the little ones for par threes

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.

Didn't test vs the tee I use never heard of 2 of the ones they tested. But was interesting

Love my Martini Tees. I can find the big sumbeotch after I yell at my ball for going so far right.

This was dope

thanks for sharing.....

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

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’ve been using the same Martini tee for more than 100 rounds. Not sure I will any more though…..

Great job on calling them out on false claims. Tee companies are silly. I figured as much.

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.

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'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

Love Adam doing Science, if only he could be nominated to public office

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.

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.

Who has free tees??? They want to charge you for breathing at my local courses.

And drinking their water. (Most of the courses near me don't have water to drink on the course anymore. )

Tour Tee is by far the best!

What about the basic free plastic ones from the nice country clubs?

What ever I find at the tee box ,that someone has left behind....those blade shape ones seem to last longer ....have not found a MyGolfSpy tee yet.

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

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 use the plastic version of the wooden tee. It just lasts a bit longer than a wood tee. Two bags, two years ago and my tee pocket is still half full.

Wood tees for me. I've tried all kinds of tees that I have found. No discernable difference.

The martini shape is good for seniors because the ball doesn’t fall off and have to re-teed

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.

Must say I am surprised by the results. Interesting numbers.

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

The Martini tees are supposed to be leaning forward by 20%. you should retest based on their instructions about how to use them to be fair

No Stinger Pro XL Competition tees?

Was the flightpath straighter?

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.

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?

No brush tee?

yep, I still love the Marti tees

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 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 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.
