How to Choose the Right Golf Tee for Your Game
Golf tees, though seemingly simple, can significantly impact your game. The right tee can influence your swing more than you think, through how high the ball is tee’d up and what shot type you want to play. So let's explore how to choose the best golf tee for your swing, and how the Premium NRC Bamboo Golf Tees weigh up amongst them.
Types of Golf Tees
Bamboo Tees: The best option for durability, eco-friendliness, and versatility. Bamboo tees like the Premium NRC Golf Tees are strong, biodegradable, and suitable for various ground conditions.
Wood Tees: Traditional, sleek look and feel but break easily.
Plastic Tees: Durable, various colors/styles, cheap and terrible for the planet.
Brush Tees: Reduce friction, potentially increase driving distance break easily and also terrible for the planet.
Rubber Tees: Durable, reusable, often used on driving ranges, not fit for course use and also terrible for the planet.
Zero Friction Tees: Minimal contact points, reduce friction, enhance distance and also terrible for the planet.
Choosing the Right Golf Tee
Length of the Tee
The length of the tee is a crucial factor that directly impacts the height of the ball upon impact. For many drivers in the game of golf, opting for a standard length tee, typically around 83mm, such as our excellent Premium NRC Golf Tees, proves to be the optimal choice. These tees manage to find the perfect equilibrium between providing stability for the ball and achieving an ideal height, ensuring they suit the preferences of all golfers regardless of their club choice.
Material and Durability
Bamboo Tees (like NRC): Eco-friendly, durable, offer a balance of flexibility and strength.
Plastic: More durable but less eco-friendly.
Wood: Classic feel but less durable.
Environmental Impact
Sustainable options, such as NRC’s bamboo tees, are better for the environment because they biodegrade naturally, which helps in reducing the ecological footprint on our planet. Choosing golf tees made from sustainable materials like bamboo can significantly contribute to a greener and more sustainable future for all.
Matching Tees to Clubs and Shots
Drivers
For golfers who prefer hitting driver off most tees, longer tees measuring around 83mm are the ideal choice. The Premium NRC Golf Tees, known for their versatile height, prove to be perfect for ensuring optimal contact with the ball and maximising the distance of your shots on the course allowing you to hit up on the ball for better contact and more distance, perfectly outlined by the lower line on the tee.
Fairway Woods and Hybrids
Shorter tees, ranging between 1 ½ to 2 ¼ inches, are the perfect choice for your game. Our Premium NRC Golf Tees offer the flexibility to be easily adjusted right down to the top line on the tee. This feature is particularly advantageous when using fairway woods and hybrids, as it guarantees a clean and precise impact with the ball.
Irons
For irons, especially on par-3 holes, use the shortest tees. The ball should sit just off the ground to facilitate a downward strike, perfectly outlined by the top line on the tee.
