Where's The Tee Gone?

[PhilTheFragger]

It appears to be a thing that when driving, if the tee goes behind you it is a good shot

Is there any element of truth to this or is it an urban myth?

I dont think the tee material or colour or design makes any difference apart from pink castle tees obvs

 

[Orikoru]

Never heard that. Seems to be random directions. All I know is if the tee is still in the ground I've thinned it.

Got to be rubbish, hasn't it? I hit some great drives last night (280+ total, probably 230-240 carry) and I don't think the tee went backwards once.

I was told that - that if you strike straight through the ball the tee will spin straight back!! I never hit draw or fade and it tends to be behind me on good shots but maybe I just remember the times it did go back!

Mine just snap.

Also depends on the soil.

Watch where rorys tee goes in slow motion.

Just watched a few on youtube.
Tee peg remains in place.
Amazing.

Maybe he thinned it like Orikoru

The pros tend to use very long tees and push them in a fair depth

Although according to a taylormade clip on Facebook I saw this evening, Tiger uses very short tees . They suggested he was in a minority of 1 though

That is a brilliant video. Pretty sure they would only be for irons and woods.

Playing yesterday, I had a bit of a moan about the fact that my drives tend to go too high, and wishing I had a lower trajectory as that would equate to more distance. ( I'm also prone to a bit of a slice.) I normally use a pink tee.

One of my PP's said why don't you try one of my white ones? I took him up on his offer on the 12th. The results surprised me. Height was much the same as before, but every drive went straight as an arrow, no hint of a slice at all. My driving was so good, I went into the pro shop afterwards and splashed out on a packet of white tees.

Here's hoping it continues!

I was always told that your tee should go right and forward??

If you don’t want your wooden ones to break wiggle them forward and backwards before hitting.!

That’s a very old quote. Suspect it may have been right to a certain extent but swings and kit have changed massively since I first heard that.

Sometimes my tee goes further than the ball

 

[need_my_wedge]

I was told the same thing regarding tee flight, many moons ago.

In the old days I do recall that some of my good shots resulted in the tee going backwards, and I was always happy to find it behind me. These days though, a good shot usually results in the tee staying put.

My tees only break when I don’t hit up on the ball, which is quite often of late as I’m mostly duck hooking it….

 

[IanM]

Depends on the compaction of the soil, how far in the tee is pushed and in the case of Seniors, how many other castle tees are tied to it!!

if I find mine in one piece it is a result
