Is there any statistical evidence to favour one over the other ir is it literally a case of personal preference?
Plastic or Wooden Tees?

Think it's personal preference, people use the plastic castle tees to get a consistent height every time they tee off.
I'm in the wooden tee camp, maybe that's why I'm so inconsistent 😂😂

You should get custom fit, it'll knock shots off.

Wooden tees compress slower which allows the ball to stay on the club face longer and maximise the trampoline effect which boosts driving distance.
Plastic tees reduce side spin making them more accurate

Plastic for me but don't like castle tees.

I used to use wooden tees exclusively, and particularly the longer ones broke every shot. I found a pink castle on the course and gave it a go. Driving is loads better in terms of consistency, and I've not broken one yet, although I have lost a couple.

I changed to plastic recently because I was breaking 14 wooden ones a round but they are sometimes a bit hard to get into hard ground. Gave up using castle tees because I love to vary the height depending on the conditions & the kind of shot I want to hit. Ever seen a pro use a castle tee?

Long wooden ones for driver, with the blue banding to aid consistency with height. Any old broken ones I find on the tee box for irons.

Pink castles for driver, red castle for 3 wood, green castle for irons. Plastic all the way!

Castle tees for me.... Little orange ones for most clubs, red ones for if I want to take a few yards off and pink for the driver.

It's not as simple as plastic or wood.
The type of wood used to make the tee plays a massive part of how it performs & the result of shot being hit from the tee in question.
It really is worth doing your homework before purchasing your tees.

Wooden break more often but plastic (the ones I use at least) leave more of a mark on the club.
Doesn't really matter, but I'd rather have to wipe a mark of my club if it bothers me than keep filling my pocket with tees during a round.

Erm........I think the joke might have gone right over your head
I have heard people say things like this in all seriousness. There are even people who think that the kind of clubs & balls you use make a difference to the way you play!

Got given a sackful of mixed wooden tees so they'll do me for a season or two.

Has to be wooden and white. 2.3/4 for driver, and I bought inch long wooden ones for irons which hardly break.
