Zero Friction Tees are hands down one of the hottest products in golf today. Countless numbers of PGA Tour Players are using Zero Friction Golf Tees on a weekly basis. The Remax World Long Drive Championship was full of Zero Friction Golf Tee users including Sean "The Beast" Fister, the reigning and 3 time world champion. If the longest driver of the golf ball on the planetperformance golf tees has found increased distance with Zero Friction Tees, why the heck aren't you?
Up until now, Zero Friction Tees have only been available in a 2 3/4 inch length. We heard from so many golfers asking about a longer version, we had no choice but to stretch these suckers out to 3 1/4 inches. With driver heads the size of grape fruits, tee lengths naturally needed to increase. The 3 1/4 inch version now gives the 460 cc driver guys the opportunity to try Zero Friction Tees and see what all the "buzz" is about. The 3 1/4 inch version will begin shipping on March 15th
There are some people out there that just won't play anything other than a wood tee. Well now there is a Zero Friction product to fit their games, Zero Friction Hardwood. Zero Friction Hardwood take the theory of Less Resistance equals more distance to a whole new level. Zero Friction Hardwood features a cup size 30% smaller than traditional tees. Again, less contact are between the cup and the ball, the less spin which leads to further drives. Everyone knows the strength of Zero Friction Biodegradable is legendary. We had to make sure Zero Friction Hardwood weren't like tooth picks, so we turned them from a premium rock solid hardwood (hence the clever name)!
There isn't a hotter product on the PGA Tour either. Since claiming a victory and a runner up finish the first week Zero Friction Tees were on the PGA Tour, the product has taken on a life of it's own. Gaining steam that first weekend in May, Zero Friction Golf Tees claimed 72 top 10 finishes and an unreal 11 professional victories in 2005. No other performance golf tee can come close to those types of numbers. We are hoping to blow those numbers away in 2006.

I love the Zero Frictions. I used to use Tracer and Stinger tees, but got tired of hitting a new one on every hole. The Zero Frictions last forever. I don't know if I'm getting any more yards....in fact I highly doubt it, but if in the case it's even giving me an extra foot...I'll take it!

believe the hype...these things never break and i have never driven the ball more consistently since switching to these tees...and yes i did notice an increase in distance as well...all the other ones i tried like epoch break very easily

I have used the epoch tee's , and in my opinion they are junk!! They will maybe last 9 holes. The next non wood tee's I buy will be the zero friction.

Best $5 ever spent. I think I've gone thru only a handful of tee's in the past couple months. A definite winner here folks.

Like these tee's a lot.
At first I wasn't sure if there was any yardage gain at all, let's face it it's almost impossible to tell, but I definately think they do give a few extra yards carry.
£4 for a bag of 50 should last a long long time.
My only criticism is that they are a bit "bendy" which makes them tricky to get into firm ground.

I used & liked the epoch but they broke too easy. I switchted to the Zero's late last year. I bought a pack of 50 and have only used 2 since November. These babies just don't break. At this rate my pack of 50 will be a life time supply....

These tees are durable. I am glad I took a chance on them...although the guys I golf with rip on me for using a "hack's" tee.

Bought some of these, broke the first one on the first tee and haven't broken one since. Seems the fickle finger of fate was providing me with a tee for 3 wood and iron shots. Do these increase my distance...don't know but they do give me a reason to bumble around inserting them into the ground trying to get one of the prongs facing the direction I want the ball to go which gives me a convient excuse when I'm not strong enough to push them into the ground! it's all about the quality of the excuses!

Bought a box of these based on another post on this site. Since then, I've only lost one tee (literally, I forgot to pick it up after teeing off). So I'm on my second one now, and no telling how long that one will last. I still carry the short wooden tees for par 3's, but I might just cut down a couple of the zero friction tees for that use.
Shoe295, how did you break one? I've literally knocked mine 30 yards down the fairway, no damage at all.

Really hard tee box ...just sort of sawed it clean in half. Course I play a lot is really sandy packed soil..drains in no time.

These Things Are Def Cool! But They Are Bendy And HOW Are They Bio Degradable? They Feel Like Rubber, What Are They Made Of?

I got them to use on the practice range as I was sick of goign through tees. So far I've only managed to shear one, and it had seen plenty of range use on previous days. The only downside is when it's really windy around here, the ball can get blown off these tees easier it seems.

They are without a doubt the best tees I've ever used. They are especially good with driver...

I bought 2 boxes of 50 1 month ago for my first time owning these. I decided to after finding one, and losing it (not breaking it) but liking that I didn't have to fill my pockets with tees.
I have no idea why I bought 2 boxes. Of the box of 50, I have 49 left. The only one I lost was on the range when it went about 15 yds out and I didn't want to risk getting killed to get it.
These is the best $4.50 I spent (they were 4.29 a box at Macfrugals in murrells inlet, sc).

These tees are definitely the real deal! Last forever too!
The only tough part, is pushing them into the ground. But it's a very minor problem, compared to the benefits of them!

How are they with irons? Do the three little prong things break?
911golfer
Aug 20 2006, 12:27 PM
Don't usually use them for irons since they are so hard to push all the way down especially with the drought conditions here in Texas. I just find a broken wooden tee around the teebox to use.

I really like these tees. When the ground is hard you feel silly as you struggle to shove the tee into the ground, but for the most part I haven't had too much trouble. I've only used them with the driver/fairway woods, and I still use regular tees with my irons--searching for old tee stubs is a great way to spend your time while the green clears. I don't think these add any distance, but a 50 pack is going to last a long time.

um try putting them in straight, little less booze

just kiddng
i bought a couple of packs a few months ago and have prolly lost 1 gave a couple away and only broken one, it was -4* outside at a school tournament last week which is like 28*-29* F and one cracked on the range with my driver, however i had used this one tee for abouyt a month hitting all my tee shots even iron shots which the tee was bent a few time and bent back, the tee split down the middle
i love these tees and dont be afraid to use them on iron shots as they still dont break

Even though the tees are quite durable I usually crack one per round when I am hitting it really hard with the driver. But much less cracking than with conventional tees.

Used Brush Tee's liked'em but became to bulky and involved - tossed those for stinger's, became fed up with the number I went through in a week, tossed those for ePoch Tee's, basically stinger tee's with a higher price tag, tossed those for the Zero Friction Tees.
If you dont think tees make a difference they do.
Have used the ZF tee's since they came out and in fact I am still using the very first pack I bought, have never looked back. I won't play without them!

ive tried some, and everyone is correct, they DO NOT break!!! i dont know if im getting more distance or accuracy, but they look cool and it cuts wayy down on tee cost like 2 bucks a round!

These tees are nearly indestructible! I only broke two in five days (I blame that on the cold weather and/or me bending it to align the tee properly). I know these wont hold up as well in dry conditions, and will probably be a pain to put into hard ground, but these tees are a must try! Also, over time, you will probably save yourself money using these as compared to wood tees, so I would suggest you try them out when you have the chance.

Conclusion: I'm pretty sure I didn't get much, if any distance gain, but the durability makes up for that.

I found 2 of these tees on tee boxes and still have them both. My local Watts doesn't have them but the online store does so I'm gonna order a bag.
Fantastic tees. I was told that they're actually made out of a corn by-product.

They're easy to break ... You just push them 3/4s of the way down and then hit them with a 3-wood about 25 times. Eventually the head will come off.

Seriously, I've broken 2-3 over the past two seasons. I've lost some, but broken very few. I don't believe the distance claims, but for driver tee shots, these are the best because you pretty much can't break them. With wood tees, I used to break one every hole or two.

I think they are junk. They are difficult to put in the ground because they flex. Besides their durability, I dont see an advantage.

The new ones that are white seem to break more than the new colored ones.
It's a conspiracy.

I think maybe the brand new white ones are produced after the collored ones and they probably decided, thay they would like to make a profit from selling these tees and therefore made them less durable than the old ones. Time to buy 500 of the old ones, while stock lasts......
One of the old ones last me at least 6-8 full rounds before I decide the triangle part has become a bit too squashed

I love these tees.
The most improved part is actually the fact that it is going straighter. Less contact with the tee definitely has helped with my accuracy. I'm not missing fairways by yards now and ending up in the deep stuff, I'm actually on the fairway or just missing them by inches.
I may change a lot of things, but I hope these tees will be around forever because they will be a part of my equipment for life.

Ive been using them for about the past month and they work well and are very durable as i have only broken one since i started using them , i probably wont be switching back to wood tees any time soon

These are the real deal. Now that they make a longer version, I am in. I've broke one tee so far in about 12 rounds. How can you not like these!

Sep 9 2007, 07:52 AM
I've broken a few... I find if the tee box is very hard you can indeed break them, but truly they are phenomenally resilient! I'll stick with these for a while.

Sep 12 2007, 03:25 PM
I like these a lot. The original white ones were the best, IMO. I've found that the newer colors (I've only tried black) break very easily. I almost never break the white ones, but the black ones I break almost every time.

Jul 10 2008, 01:48 PM
Ya.
Whether they make any difference on your drives is questionable. But they are tough.
Finally broke my first one the other day... still plenty long for a fairway wood though. Definitely worth a few bucks.

They are great I really like them. I bought one box of 50 2 years ago and won a box of 50 last year but still have not opened the new box and doubt I will need to this year or next. I've given more away than I've lost or broke.
The only thing I would like better is if they spread the points out a little farther so it was easier to balance the ball on top, but I suppose that would ruin their accuracy or distance or some other foolishness.

The zero friction tees may not break, but I do find that the 3 "prongs" end up getting very beat up that near the end of a round, it's very difficult to tee up a ball on the worn out prongs, thus, gotta trash it and use a new one. Thus, for me, they last me about a round and a half per tee. Am I the only who's wrecking the prongs on the zero friction at this fast of a rate?

Jul 11 2008, 11:04 PM
Glad you said something I will have to check mine when I'm having problems getting the ball to stay up. As long as I find the thing I use it but if replacing them will help the ball stay on top I will gladly toss one away after they lose their shape. I'll be putting a new tee in play tomorrow to see how it works.

I believe that the manufacturer advices that you point one of the 'prongs' towards the direction of your drive. This way, you are not directly hitting into one of the prongs....I know ...one more thing to think about when teeing up the ball...
