Environmentally friendly tees come in two major categories, the biodegradable tee and the reusable long-lasting tee. The biodegradable golf tee is designed to dissolve in the environment and are usually molded of some food grain ingredient such as wheat paste or cornstarch, etc. As such they take the same amount of energy to run molding machines as the reusable tee. Additionally, the biodegradable golf tee still litters the tee box with broken objects that must be cleaned up by the greens keeping staff at the golf course. The likelihood that they would be left until they dissolved on a tee box is very small. They will probably be vacuumed with a lawn vac and end up in the landfill alongside their painted wood cousins. The biodegradable tee is a throwaway product, which also includes throw away packaging. It takes the same amount of energy to produce as the molded long-lasting reusable tee. The reusable tee also leaves less litter on the tee box. Not all reusable tees are the same however. One of the more popular varieties is packaged with only 3 tees in a gigantic plastic blister pack. Moreover this product comes with various predetermined heights, so that a golfer who wants several different heights will have that much more waste. The D-tee from Distancetee arrives in the mail. There are 16 D-tees in a reusable pouch that stays closed in your golf bag. That's all! They will last the average golfer longer than 200 wood or biodegradeable tees. They also have many performance advantages. |
The answer is in the action of the directional flex shaft. When driving, the club face is contacting the ball first, not the tee. Before the ball releases from the club face it has contacted the tee. The tee creates resistance and drag on the club, even if it's not something you can feel. This drag has the effect of slowing or decelerating your club just before releasing the ball, robing your shot of distance. Even if it's only a yard or so, hey that's a yard! On an off center hit the effect from drag is even more detrimental. The resistance from the ball has already begun a twisting of the club head at impact. Then the resistance from the tee adds an extra twisting just before your club head releases the ball. It doesn't sound like much, but this effect can drive your shot one to three yards more off line than you would have gone without the added tee resistance. On an off center hit this can be the difference between landing near the edge of the fairway or landing in the ruff. Yes, More control! On par 3 iron shots, the directional flex of the shaft and oversized cup combine to create a perfect trap shot situation. Striking with a descending action gets the same loft, spin and control the pros get, without the huge divot. No other tee in golf can achieve this action as well as a D-tee from Distancetee. Remember that true distance off the tee is measured by the distance to the cup on your second shot. Accuracy, low resistance and more control. In a game where even your lucky hat can appear to have positive results, it is time to stop ignoring your choice of golf tees. Choose the best designed tee in golf, the D-tee from Distance Tee. |
