7 of the Top 10 teams at last week’s Champions Tour™ Big Cedar Lodge Legends of Golf had at least one player using TEF TEE™ high performance golf tees with their proprietary Teflon® Technology, according to reports from Tee Direct Inc., the innovative tee’s manufacturer.
The unique all par three tournament format proved to be a perfect showcase for the brand’s new 1.5″ short tees, where accuracy on every tee shot was in demand. By eliminating all distortional forces between the ball and the tee, the ball releases purer and cleaner from the tee support, reducing side spin for straighter, pinpoint accurate tee shots.
“The development of our new 1.5″ tees was the direct result of requests from our loyal pro tour users for a short tee,” said Greg MacKeen, inventor of the tees with the distinctive black heads. “The use by players at The Legends of Golf event demonstrates that tour pros put a high premium on accuracy and recognize that our proprietary Teflon® Technology provides a significant advantage.”
A golf ball hit off a traditional cup tee, or even a performance tee made from standard tee materials, is subject to friction and shear forces that can create side spin and deflection which can cause the ball to fly off the intended target line. Tests at the industry leading facility for robotic testing proved drives hit from TEF TEE™ high performance tees had 5 yards less off center dispersion than drives hit from a traditional wood tee. That’s like playing a course with fairways (or greens) that are 10 yards wider.
While Tee Direct Inc., makers of the innovative tees with Teflon® Technology, acknowledges that the industry’s leading equipment surveyor does not monitor the performance tee category, great care is taken in validating pro use by reporting only players who meet the following criteria:
A. the player and/or caddy has verified the tees were used in play
B. the player has been seen on television or in-person using the tee
C. the player has been known to repeatedly use the tees in play
D. the player has been reported as taking tees a minimum of three times in the past six weeks
When it comes to reducing friction and increasing driving accuracy and 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 last 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.
