With its TEF TEE™ high performance golf tees gaining momentum in the marketplace, Tee Direct Inc., the maker of the world’s only tee with patent pending Teflon® Technology, is launching a new super durable, low friction tee called SuperTUF™ LF in response to increasing demand from pro-shops for a performance tee to be available in bulk for giveaway on course.
“The on-course giveaway market is looking for a tee that’s incredibly tough to break and that offers golfers true performance advantages,” said Greg MacKeen, President of Tee Direct Inc., and inventor of the innovative TEF TEE™ golf tees. “The advanced engineering of our Teflon® technology has created a resurgence of interest and credibility for the performance tee category. Unfortunately, the extremely high cost to manufacture the Teflon® coated tees precludes entry into the giveaway market segment, except to those few elite courses where price simply does not matter.”
“At the PGA Show, a customer reminded me that our tee reduces friction three ways, and even without the Teflon®, the tee already had the lowest friction because of our unique head with six tiny, rounded points of contact,” continued Mr. MacKeen. “The head was specifically designed to have measurably less surface contact with the ball than any other tee. It occurred to him that by simply making the TEF TEE™ without the Teflon®, we could service this new trend in on-course tee demand. From that eureka moment, we developed a new super durable performance tee, made from recyclable materials, and called it SuperTUF™ LF (which stands for Low Friction).”
The new SuperTUF™ LF addition to the collection delivers improved performance four ways:
1. Improved Distance & Accuracy for the golfer thanks to the unique head design that has 20% less surface contact with the ball than its nearest competitor and 475% less than a traditional cup tee. This results in the lowest friction between the tee and the ball, allowing more efficient transfer of energy from the club to the ball.
2. Less Tee Litter for the superintendant because of the improved durability, since a single tee often last 8-10 rounds, or almost 30 times as long as wood tees.
3. Lower Operating Expenses for the pro, as fewer tees will be needed since very few break.
4. Environmentally Friendly as they are made of recycled polymers, so no trees need to be cut, and they can be recycled.
SuperTUF™ LF is a classic Win/Win/Win/Win for everybody.
When it comes to reducing friction and increasing driving distance, this new tee is surpassed only by TEF TEE™, the recognized world leader in tee technology. Plus, pro-shops will also be amazed at the price.
