 I was wondering what the general opinion was about the two different tees as they are the next generation of tees and both claim to do the same things.
For starters i prefer the brush t because it gives me a consistant height every time for my driver but i haven't used lift tees so can't say anything on them
Opinions?

 wooden tees of various lengths - ball placed on tee , tee stuck in ground and tilted slightly forward towards the direction you're hitting the shot - go to a pro tournament and you'll see !
|
 |
Buy a load, send them to me, and I'll test them for you !
|

 ollie have the lift tees very good same one for 6 rounds more likley to loose it than break it.Wooden tees are great but i dont hit it like a pro and break one every tee shot.
|
 |
 Bloody hell, I break a wooden tee every time I tee off, I thought they were supposed to break. Mind you - I did buy a 1,000 of em last year (split with a mate) - still got 10 left !

 I like Lift tees as mentioned above they are Bomb Proof... I bought some Step Lift Ones tho and to be honest i Dont like em.. they tee the ball up too high for my liking.. But Normal Lift tees are great!

 Indeed Mr W,
I am sure if a brush, a lift or whatever really did yield any extra yds, the big boys would use them.
You guys buying this cr@p are a marketers dream.
Hmm, now off to the shed to invent some fengibbon specials.

 Don't like the brush tees, was bought a pack of three for Christmas, broke one and gave the other 2 away. The Lift tees are good for winter, easy to push into hard ground, almost unbreakable and easy to find.
The claims of longer drived are, in my opinion, nonsense though!
|
 |
LIFT TEES ARE HARDLY UNBREAKABLE. cOST £3 ODD A PACK BREAK OR LOSE ABOUT 2 OR 3 PER ROUND.
|
 |
 In all my life I've never seen a single pro on any tour in the world use any lift tee, brush tee or Tetley's tea. That should tell you all you need to know.

I was given a set of brush tees recently as a birthday present??? Anyway, i've only used the oversized driver tee so far, not too sure if its given me any more distance but i do seem to be hitting the sweet spot everytime i hit the ball.
|
 |
 I aint no Pro! As far as I can see they play a different game altogether from me!
So, why would what Pro's use be a factor?
|
 |
 Rob,
Because Pro's do hit the sweet spot, any advantage the tees would give would be evident.
But they don't use them cause it's a crock of sh!t.
|
 |
 Exactly, if there was any advantage to be had from them the pros would use them.
Maybe they help some people, but I'd like to see some hard evidence that they actually make a difference. I have tried them and they didn't make a blind bit of difference for me, spent half my time looking for the buggers in the grass, because they're so damn expensive! They are a pure marketing gimmick. I hate to see people wasting their money on this crap as well. The worst one is the tee which tells you how far to put it into the ground. I bought some driver tees (200 for £5), put one into the ground and marked one at the ideal position for my driver (having tested with dozens of drives) then marked all the other tees at the exact same spot. Voila, saved myself £100!
Don't let these companies fool you into losing your hard-earned money!!!

 The Brush T is a great invention. I don't buy them for the distance argument. The height of the yellow XLT model is just right for my driver. They help consistency. I never lose them. In fact they will last over a year before eventually the bristles give way.
|
 |
 Don't get me wrong...I don't use Lift Tees because I believe they'll yield me greater yardage, or straighter shots!
I purely and simply use them because they are near indestructable and easily found after each shot, making them, AT LEAST, as good value as wooden tees,(I have been using the same Lift Tee for the past 3 months now).
Also they don't mark your driver with paint like some wooden tees.

 I use lift tees, after we saw the ladies using them at Suningdale last year (or was it the previous) at the Ladies British Open.
They last ages, and are easy to find....if you drill a small hole through the tee (just above where the white stuff finishes) in them and link 2 together with fishing line. I never loose any, and they are easy to find. They do eventually wear out though, but well worth the money.

 "I purely and simply use them because they are near indestructable and easily found after each shot, making them, AT LEAST, as good value as wooden tees"
Me too. Look a bit of cheapskate if your on your last one and you can't find it with 3 holes to go though.
All the 28 handicappers use Brush T's. All this 'consistent tee hight' thing is rubbish. If you really can't judge how far to push a tee in the ground you really should take up skittles or something.

 plain old wooden tees and scavenge broken ones for my irons. I don't think I could cope with the pain of breaking or losing an expensive tee.
|
 |
 I have never met anyone else playing a brush T but it makes for a few gags on the first usually involving cleaning teeth.
The reason you never lose them is because they stay in the ground. I have never broken one.
They aren't exclusive to 28 handicappers - I came across a few using them on BombSquad.
