Tee peg custom fitting

[Airlie_Andy]

Ive heard the forum average tee height is 6 inches? Surely these forumers should be on tour with those kinds of numbers?

i went to AG for a tee fitting, but never again. they were really pushing me to take the type of tees that they just happened to have loads of in stock, they said they'd be perfect for me.

never trust AG, they're just salespeople, not out to help you with your game.

 

[BoadieBroadus]

then the ones i bought i didn't like so tried to sell them to golfbidder who only offered me 2p for each tee.... seriously... what a joke... they are worth at least 4p brand new...

ive taken to re teeing my tees myelf, its a lot cheaper than getting the pro to do it.

 

[virtuocity]

Was getting a little too wristy when putting the tee into the ground so bought myself a V-Teezy and I've really improved.

Do you think Rory is really using Nike Tees or are they just Pink Castles painted White?

If they are Nike's that will explain his drop off in form as he's now unable to make sure he get's the optimum height.

On a similar note I have noticed that how you mark your ball also has an impact on the flight. If you use a Sharpie to draw a line on your ball it adds weight to that side. If you then tee up with the line on top pointing down the fairway it promotes a lower ball flight with top spin. Putting the line on side promotes a draw or a fade. That's why to maintain the aerodynamic properties of the ball you should always mark it evenly on all all sides. Why isn't this basic stuff covered in the first lesson you have with a pro?

I use forged tees, love the feel of them :lol:

Damn, thats why I'm not hitting the ball as far as I used to. I got a tincup marker for xmas and the amount of ink I now put on each ball has made it heavier and thus it travels less distance.

Do ORKA make tees?

They make lovely tees but not sure that I would recommend them as the re-sale values are awful if you want to get rid of them in the future. Far better off with a better known brand of tees, they may not be as good but you will get a better return on ebay

OK, so i had a tee fitting recently in Ireland, got fitted with this new 100% biodegradable tee called the Pota-tee (say it in an irish accent) This truly has revolutionized my game. See below for a picture:

You have far too much time on your hands Scott :rofl:

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I have some TM Rocketteez that have a speed slot in them down one side of the tee, and I have noticed a difference, up to 5 yards more distance at times. I also have some Nike Cavity tees in which they have taken a chunk out one side, and they add a few yards on as well. Only problem is the ball falls off them quite a lot due to the fact half the top of them is missing.

The doubters always say that all TM have done with the TM Rocketteez is reduced the angle on which the ball sits and made the tee a bit longer. But I don't agree, I say try it before you criticise them.

And gryffindor, could you let me know who supplies you with left handed tees? I am a lefty and the TM and Nike tees only come in right handed, so I think a tee designed for a lefty would be great.

The left hand tees are usually available from your local I Saw You Coming shop

+ 1... but just could not help ROFLing my ass off... well done rooter..

Indeed this is officially the most Tee-riffic post in a while

 

[vkurup]

Would a left handed tee cure my slice? Happy to get fitted for one.

Do they use Trackman to see how far the tee flies or Sonar if the tees get into the ground?

 

[JustOne]

I use Ping tees now - They use some weird kind of wood that smells a bit like wee :angry:

No. You need an altogether different tee with a draw bias to fix that.

Has anyone else had one?

I was recently treated to one by my other half, and she arranged it at Harrods store in the sports area.

Superb facilities and an excellent occassion all round.

I decided to pay extra for the unbreakable version, which meant I only needed the one, but had to wait for it to be delivered.

It was delivered promptly, it was Harrods green, with a toch of gold, it's now lost.........

Ive got a set of those new tees with a tiny transmitter in them so you never have to lose another tee. Bit expensive but well worth it when your playing partners are scouring the tee box for there Pro Tee 1.
