I have to say that when I hear things like ‘These Golf Tees will give you Yards’ I’m a little sceptical, however today I thought I would put some tees I picked up at the PGA Show a test to see if they allow me to hit the ball further as the companies say they will.
Let’s take a closer look.

Thanks for reviewing the Pure Shot tee. It was great to talk with you at the show.
More about sustainability for me, I would rather all golf clubs banned plastic tees
I started last year with a Martini tee (step version, what you call castle tee) and it lasted the entire year, never broke but had to hunt for it a few times after hitting. Easily played over 100 rounds last year with it.
Well Dan I would say tee height would affect driver more that's why a lot of people use castle tees for consistent tee height. Also ball position and getting a consistent set-up. But I'm no PGA professional 😢😊
That review suited me to a Tee Dan. 🙂
Wow would not of believed it
Interesting results Dan but as I see to end up with more tees than I start with each round as I seem to pickup some as I play. But the Survivor Tee might be of interest to see how long it lasts
Think I would need more test shots, outside.
What I've noticed watching many club reviews is that the tester tends to get slightly faster and gets more dialed in as the testing progresses, so could it be down to testing the castle tees first? What would be the results if you tested the all singing and dancing tees first? Did your strike on the club face get better and more centered as the test went on? Just a thought. PS I am grateful just to hit the ball on any tee.
Amazon he we come
Bliney 🤯🤯
If yiu want better tews get bamboo castke tees
Show us the smash factor instead. Is there another scientific explanation ?
I can confirm, the survivor type tee is more durable, appears to assist with a cleaner launch and total distance does improve. I have played two full rounds with the same tee.
Who’d have thought! Well every little helps as they say, but I’d hope at the price they are durable enough. I could snap a titanium tee on a good day.
Sorry Dan this is American BS and golfing Marketing BS which is rife in the industry. Tee height makes a difference but even at 7 handicap, a tee is not going to make enough of a difference to distance or dispersion as my swing is not robotic. However, I have not bought a new tee in 10 years as people are so generous at leaving tees behind which I happily pick up and recycle. Similar with balls. So my message to my fellow golfer – your generosity is much appreciated. 😂😂😂
Interesting but maybe re-do the test in reverse order to see if the same numbers come through? I am a wooden tee user – even recycling the broken ones for par 3/fairway wood tee shots!
Placebo?🤔
Trying to order some Pure Shot tees now! Very interesting!
I’d say at the track man range I practise at where they have like those shit conduits rubber tees – I lose about 2-3mph ball speed v my regular bamboo peg(edit at 9mins) on Amazon a 20pack is £15 for the pure shot
Thanks Dan. I would like to have seen whether the driver swing speeds matched up between the tees.
I use one of the million tees I picked up when I lived in Dubai. In winter usually use a castle when the ground is hard. I think it’ll make absolutely no difference 😳
Didn’t expect that. Did you start off with wooden tees and finish with the others. Or did you hit a mixture. If you didn’t mix it up did you just start slower?
3 shots from each… that ain’t a test…
G’Day Dan, pink castle tee all day every day. As always in golf “strike is king “. All good mate.
4 yards more tees… £6 for 4 on Amazon…
I’ve been using “ professional golf tees from saplizegolf. Shafts are marked in increment ( constant height). Ball is cradled on 4 points set square to target line ( : : ) so the driver head strikes the ball not the tee. It’s improved my driving straighter and longer. But not got any Shotscope data to back it up
I just get the cheapest wooden tees off amazon. They have stripes on which help keep change the hight depending on the club and shot. Can't imagine paying any more for something which won't make a massive difference to my game.
Anything DH to work lying down!!!
Very surprised by the results. Personally I have moved away from plastic tees to bamboo castle tees so that they are a bit more environmentally friendly, when I run out of those I may try the tees made from coffee waste to be even more environmentally friendly.
The actual test was obviously just a taster. To be statistically sound Dan would need to hit a lot more shots, look at the standard deviation, consider statistically significance maybe even get a professional statistician to calculate p- values (or similar) to ensure the results were not just chance – but tbh that is my problem with a lot of the head to head testing we see on YT, and that is because the YTuber is a golfer not a professional statistician.
As a taster the test was fascinating, just shows that a much more thorough test is needed
Surely the way to test this properly is to use a robot for the hitting ? so eliminating any variation from the human swing.
Purchased the Tornado tees back in early December. Play every week and I have not lost or broken them. Of the pack of 5 ,four are untouched. incidentally the drives are longer (10 m) and the left to right dispersion has reduced. Try them. I would like to know whether the tees have helped or whether I am a better golfer!
