TEF TEE™ performance golf tees, with their unique TEFLON® Technology, proved to be an extremely Hot Item at this weekend’s Mobile Bay Classic in Mobile, AL. The brand made its first appearance on the LPGA Tour™ this season, and according to internal company reports added 11 new names to the rapidly expanding list of pros that have chosen to include the revolutionary tees as part of their essential equipment.
After being absent on the women’s circuit for a couple of months, there was pent up demand for the high performance tees that are proven to deliver more distance and accuracy. Over 1500 tees were gobbled up by the ladies, several of whom had actually been buying them at retail.
The generous fairways at The Crossings course at Magnolia Grove offered an opportunity for the ladies to hit it long, as evidenced by the field driving average this week being 10.3 yards longer than year-to-date. The new players choosing TEF TEE™ hit it even longer than that, averaging 17.3 yards more than their season stats, or 7 yards more than the field.
“While there are too many variables to verify that these distance improvements were the result of using our tees,” said Greg MacKeen, inventor of the innovative tees. “The results are totally consistent with the proven distance gains we have seen in our robotic tests and the hundreds of simulator tests we’ve conducted.”
By virtually eliminating all frictional forces between the tee and the ball, TEF TEE™ golf tees allow the club to transfer energy more efficiently to the ball, and let the ball release easier. This reduces backspin and sidespin, resulting in longer, straighter drives. Pros on all the major tours are verifying the performance benefits by their fast growing usage.
Robotic tests at the industry’s acclaimed Golf Laboratories, Inc. in Carlsbad, CA proved TEF TEE™ performance tees had 19% less off center dispersion than wood tees, in addition to the 6.5 yards added distance.
The highly distinctive new white tees with the back head are showing up all over the leader-boards of tour events as more and more touring pros convert from wood tees in record numbers. This renewed interest and credibility for performance tees is helping drive growth in the category.
When it comes to reducing friction and increasing driving distance, TEF TEE™ is surpassed by no one and recognized as the world leader in tee technology. Only TEF TEE™ delivers Greater Performance three ways:
1. Greater Distance & Accuracy thanks to our patent pending Teflon® technology which results in the lowest friction between the tee and the ball, allowing more efficient transfer of energy from the club to the ball, as the ball releases from the tee surface with less backspin.
2. Greater Playability because the 6 prongs make it easier to balance the ball and the rigid shank inserts easily into even the hardest ground.
3. Greater Value because a single tee often lasts 5-6 rounds, or 15-20 times as long as wood tees, which also helps keep the courses litter free.
No wonder TEF TEE™ is the Fastest Growing Tee on Tour.
