The Zero Friction Golf Tee with its unique three-pronged design significantly reduces the contact area between the golf ball and the tee. At impact, this small degree of contact reduction or resistance results in increased accuracy and distance. In an independent laboratory Zero Friction Golf Tees were proven to be the longest and most accurate tees used on Tour. In fact, they are the "official" tee of the Long Drive of America Association.
For bigger driver heads and longer distance, a new, longer, 3-¼" ZF tee model is now available and not only for the Professionals but for every golfer. And for the traditionalists, a new ZF Hardwood has begun shipping into the marketplace.
Zero Friction Golf Tees are not only popular on the PGA, LPGA, and Nationwide Tours, but they are incredibly popular on the LDA Tour, so popular the company renewed their sponsorship with the Long Driver of America Association. Both the biodegradable and hardwood Zero Friction Golf Tees will be known as the Exclusive Golf Tee of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship. The company also signed another year contract with long-driving legend Sean "The Beast" Fister to use and endorse the company’s revolutionary Zero Friction Golf Tees. Fister will attempt to defend his third RE/MAX World Drive Championship this October in Mequite, Nev.
