I saw a commercial this morning on the golf channel that advertised a new tee. I can't remember the name of the tee but it is supposed to let you hit the ball farther and straighter. Here's how, according to the ad -- the conventional wooden tees cause resistance when the club head strikes the ball and it may also change the club head angle on impact with the ball. These new tees are made with bristles that you prop your ball on top of. You insert the bottom part of the tee in the ground (this part is made of wood) until the bristle section of the tee touches the ground. You then prop your ball on top of it. The ball will go farther, they say, because the club head isn't being affected by the agile bristles.
This all made sense to me until I realized that in the golf swing, the club hits the ball first and then the tee. How does the tee create resistance in the golf swing? The ball is on its way before the club strikes the tee. Does it really matter what the tee is made of? Save your money and don't be fooled.
