10-12-11 (Oakbrook Terrace, IL) – In an age when golf tees continue to become more of a commodity than ever, Zero Friction™ set out to test its superiority compared to other tees in the marketplace. Most tees not made from the conventional wood or bamboo products consider themselves to be performance tees. When Zero Friction™ hit the marketplace in 2005, we did just the same; the difference being that Zero Friction™ wanted to prove its supremacy.
Six years ago, Zero Friction™ had the original ZFTour (3-prong) tee tested at Golf Laboratories, Inc., located in San Diego, CA, under perfect conditions, using a mechanical arm. The test came back with staggering results favoring Zero Friction™ compared to the other tees (50% less dispersion compared to a conventional wood tee). Since 2005, many more “performance” golf tees have entered the marketplace and once again, Zero Friction™ wanted to demonstrate the advanced design of the product lines. In this second round of testing, Zero Friction™ choose to use a non-mechanical method, using actual golfers because golf isn’t played by a mechanical arm, thus ZF retained GolfTest USA based in Green Valley, Arizona to perform the testing.
GolfTest USA came up with a methodical testing method using five different golf tees, two being the Zero Friction ZFXtreme (4-prong) and the Zero Friction ZFTour (3-prong). To perform the test, 25 golfers were acquired (10 ranging in the 0-10 handicap and 15 ranging in the 11-20 handicap). These 25 golfers hit each tee a total of 10 times in two rounds of five shots. In each round the tees were placed in front of the golfer in a different order to ensure no unfair advantage to any one tee. Each shot was recorded using the FlightScope Prime launch monitor to record carry distance, total distance, lateral dispersion and smash factor. In addition to the tees rotating in front of the golfer, to ensure consistency, Golf Test USA had each golfer use identical drivers that were then fitted with the proper flex and loft.
The results compiled below show once again the superiority of the Zero Friction Performance Tees in both the 3-prong and 4-prong versions. The fact is that although tees are the rarely thought about item in a golfers bag, one thing is known for sure, they are 100% necessary for every golfer hitting the course and when they do, why wouldn’t they choose the proven Zero Friction™ brand to help their game.
