Best Golf Tees
To be clear from the start, if you are looking for more distance or straighter drives, a different brand of golf tee probably isn’t going to provide it. MyGolfSpy’s Golf Tee Test showed pretty definitively that specialty tees provided negligible difference from a standard wooden one. Still, there might be a best golf tee out there for you. Let’s look at a few options and the reasons that might make them the best.
1. Pride Professional Tee System, 3-1/4 inch ProLength Plus Tee
The ProLength Plus tee isn’t on this list specifically because of the brand, but instead because of the length. At 3.25″ (and available up to 4″) this tee is significantly longer than most course freebie tees. This is important because a simple way for a lot of average golfers to find more distance with their driver is to hit up on the ball. The easiest way to practice hitting up on the ball? Tee up that ball higher. Additionally, the ProLength Plus paint stands out from the grass and has a marked zone to help you consistently tee it the same height. That makes it the best golf tee to (maybe) add distance to your drives.
2. YATTA Golf Telos Premium Golf Tees
Playing better golf often comes down to consistency. Consistency with alignment, routine, and swing. Consistency also matters in tee height, helping to control the strike point of the driver. While paint marks can help, YATTA has the golfers looking for a no-brainer covered. With the Telos tee, a small rubber disc fits around the bulged stem of the tee. Once set, insert the tee down to the disc and you’ll know it stays the same height. Additionally, the rubber material (while not unbreakable) can take more of a beating than wood tees. The best golf tee for consistency is the YATTA Golf Telos Premium golf tee.
3. Martini Golf Tees
There might not be a worse feeling in golf than standing bent-over on the tee and having the ball fall off over and over. It’s easy to get frustrated, rush, and hit a horrible drive as a result. Whether it be nerves or age, there are points where teeing up a ball on a traditional tee becomes more difficult. For these times, the Martini Golf Tee is the best golf tee you can buy. The wide-brim cup holds the ball easily, preventing golfers from having to constantly retee. Additionally, the bright colors tend to stand out well from the grass, making them easy to retrieve. Especially for some seniors, this makes the Martini tee worthwhile.
4. Wedge Guys Professional Bamboo Golf Tees
It’s hard to be an environmentally-conscious golfer. From water-use to course maintenance requirements, the carbon footprint of a round of golf can be a tough pill to swallow sometimes. That said, there are small steps everyone can take to lessen the impact. One of the easiest is to play bamboo golf tees instead of hard wood or plastic varieties. Bamboo goes 10 times faster than hard woods and can be much more sustainable. They also decompose much quicker than plastic tees ever could. Last, there are some claims that the bamboo tees are even easier on mower blades than traditional tees, so the superintendent might just thank you for using them too. All small points to be sure, but taken together, they can make bamboo the best golf tees you can buy.
