Understanding Golf Tees

Before we dive into tees, let’s explore what tees are and why they play a vital role in the game of golf.

The instrument used to set up the ball when opening each hole is the tee, and the area used for opening each hole is commonly known as the tee area or tee. The meaning has not changed since 1744, but prior to the late 19th century, a ball holder did not refer to a modern wooden or plastic ball inserted into the ground, but to a small amount of dirt or sand deposited on the ground and used to hold the ball up for play. Today’s tees are mostly bamboo, wooden or plastic nails that can be inserted into the ground.

The Role of Tees in Golf Performance

Why are tees important and indispensable?

In the early days, caddies used to take sand from the hole and use it as a carrier for their next tee shot. This was easy to damage the hole, and the club later decided to ban sand from the hole, but instead prepared a wooden box on the tee with wet sand for the caddie or golfer to take out, pile into a cone, and hold the golf ball to be hit.

Later, the tee was invented, which is a support connecting the grass and the ball, and its main role is to support and cushion the golf ball to maintain the balance of the golf ball on the grass and prevent the ball from rolling. When playing, the tees help to position the ball so that the player can better align the ball and make a swing. In addition, the tees can also protect the grass of the court, because the tees can be inserted into the grass on the tee court, reducing the contact between the ball and the ground, thus reducing the damage to the turf. And some players can judge whether the club face is square by the tees and the direction rod.

1.Bamboo wood tee : Made of bamboo or wood material, the audience is wide, suitable for most players. If you are new to golf, the golf tee is a universal choice for you.

2.Golf Prong Tee:Golf Prong Tee: Also known as a three-prong tee or triangular tee, is a unique golf tee design. It not only gives a novel feeling in design, but also has a great difference in function from the traditional wooden golf tee.

The advantage is that its sharp foot reduces the area of support for the ball, and when you swing to hit the ball, it greatly reduces the friction generated by the ball when taking off, which is conducive to the stability of the ball after hitting.

The disadvantage is that most of them are made of plastic material, and the environmental protection is not as good as wooden tees.

The Golf Prong Tee is more suitable for bunker players, and its accuracy to the ball is more advantageous than the traditional tee, adapting to the difficult terrain.

3.Golf Magnet Tee: it can be recycled. Compared to plastic and wooden materials, the golf tee is of better quality, can be better inserted into hard grass, and is relatively friendly for personalized design and addition of elements.

4.Golf Castle Tee: As the name suggests, it is shaped like a castle, hence the name. Suitable for golfers seeking a unique design of the golf tee.

5.Golf Rubber Tee:The material is soft and has a good grip.The most different point from other golf tee is that it does not need to be inserted into the grass, only need to lay the base flat on the ground to support the ball. This applies to scenarios where a grass mat is used as a golf training aid. But here’s the downside to the rubber golf tee，it is not suitable for complex terrain scenarios, such as bunkers, or grassy areas where the ground is not very flat, so it is not possible to hold the ball stably.
