The Zero Friction tee provides less resistance between the golf ball and the golf tee for longer, straighter drives. Its reduced spin rate fights dispersion, thereby keeping the ball on line and in the fairway. Zero Friction Golf Tees are environmentally safe and are made with Biodegradable materials.
