NEW Amazon Golf tees - STOP SLICE & Hit 15 yards longer?

[@dibnah46]

Should have compared the swift to an orange castle. Or cut the swift down to the same height as the pink one

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Did the video not suggest correct tee height was important and actually impacts greatly on performance?

[@rolandcolegate8228]

Would have been nice to cut he higher tee down, or hit a few shots outside (if weather allowed), Pushing the high tee further into the ground.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

@rolandcolegate8228 Dont have any Trackman outside

[@ronj9460]

Need to tilt tee backwards about 10 degrees. Being used completely wrong.

[@EdwardBailey]

I like the Martini tee. I like it as the ball height is the same every time. Durability is excellent as well. Same idea as the castle tee.

[@IIISWILIII]

Hose seem like they rob you of some ball speed /distance

[@stratovani]

I like the Martini tee as well. I keep three orange ones in my right pocket, one for driver, one for fairway woods/hybrids, and one for par 3s. I never lose them and they never break.

[@russpugh9570]

Last year I got sucked in by the technical garb and bought the exact same box as you . I used them in accordance with the instructions for 9 holes and my dispersion was absolutely dreadful! I gave up after 9 holes and went back to using a pink castle tee. My drives returned back to normal and the remaining drives all went straight down the fairway. Ive never used them since and never will. The tees are under my stairs if anyone wants them.

[@billv4072]

Pink castle tees for me. Never break, easy to find on tee box and sometimes a conversation starter. They have given me some noticeable consistency with my driver.

[@daviddaniels9281]

according to the instructions you are supposed to put into the ground at an angle of 10 degrees!

[@TheAverageGolfer]

How are you supposed to measure a 10 degree tilt?

[@conzmoleman]

@@TheAverageGolferyou can’t be serious. start perpendicular and tilt slightly. what sort of learned helplessness is this you’re putting on?

[@andymusk7940]

Would like to see this review again with the tee heights the same and the Swiftee inserted at 10degrees; I will probably buy a pack and give them a try though. Thank you for bringing them to our attention.

[@ph469]

Thanks Andy, good review followed by lots of advice. For me, I use a softer standard pink tee that has lasted me about 2 seasons. I only replaced the previous one was because I forgot it on the teebox, to someone else benefit...lol. Bamboo's nice, but 1 plastic tee can last a long time.

[@MrBlueleon]

a bit of a pointless test, the swiftee is not supposed to be used that high, they would work very well at the same height as the pink tee, they work very well outside in soft grass but not hard grass (cant get them into the ground)

[@TheAverageGolfer]

There is nothing on the website nor packaging that suggests what height they should be used at?

[@jonosborne4529]

Was interested to watch this, however i do feel that to have a meaningful comparison they do need to be at the same height. Would have been interesting to see tstrike location as i am sure that’s the main factor in drop off of distance

[@MrBlueleon]

@@TheAverageGolfer no but you should have used the high grey tee instead of the pink , it’s like comparing a driver with a 5 wood and saying the driver goes further 🤷‍♂️ for me the tee works very well as I hit down with the driver and the tee gives me extra height, the ones I have are very flexible and nearly impossible to break

[@duncanmacleod7283]

​@@TheAverageGolferConventional tees don't have instructions on the packet advising on what height to play at either. I think you need to make the comparison out on the course where you can set both tee types to the height you normally play.

[@Hans-PeterThut-zx8ch]

Sorry, but you did not understood how to tilt that tee in the ground. I use that tee and it works perfekt at every hight. In the delivered box you find instructions how to use the tee. Dear Andy, this is the worst video I‘ve ever seen from you. Please delete it asap. I am one of your fans from Germany. Regards, Peter

[@johnuriniuk588]

When spring starts it would be a better test for you to retry this tee where you can place the tee lower. And see if there is a difference. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@petervandyck-z9c]

I was surprised that you used a 10.5° driver given your recent video about 12° driver

[@flybirds2024]

All the instructions for the swiftee is to create a higher launch angle, My problem is that I hit the ball too high and lose distance so I would never use those tees!

[@annefilippobertozzi7601]

Besides what already noticed by many others about the different tee height, that makes this test pretty worthless, we must consider another important thing: the tee height should be very connected to the swing path. Someone who has a level or pretty down strike, using an high tee will only skyrocket his ball, while using a lower tee would better maximize his distance.

[@DoubleBogeyBaker]

I bought some tees just like these and I’m hitting the ball further and straighter when I do decide to hit driver. I would never hit driver before I started using this tee. Definitely seen 10 yards off the tee.

[@the2ironkid]

"the Swiftee launched the ball higher"...well, what a surprise!!!...you should have just compared the Swiftee to a regular wooden tee of the same height and I would be amazed if there was a difference in performance...as for the 10 degree tilt [laughable!]...again, you could just tilt the regular tee in the same fashion...I don't know who's buying these tees but I guess there's a mug born every day!...a complete waste of time, Andy, and you're really scraping the barrel...Xmas or not!

[@adamknuese5616]

Tried the swift tees . The swift tees are a gimmick if you ask me . Went back to the pink tees although mine are tan .

[@thomassimmons2989]

For £10 I’d try a bag of swiftee’s. For launch angle and peak height what would you expect to see from say Driver, 5/7 wood, 5 hybrid and a 7 iron? With most driving ranges having trackman now would be good to be able to understand the data.

[@legerrid]

My Swiftee has lasted for about 6 rounds now, I think the tilted entry makes the ball seem like it's floating which helps me hit up on it. But am I wrong or are you not meant to instert the tee itself at an angle, rather than straight up?

[@justinstephenson9360]

That is what I thought, I checked with Swiftee, you are correct, Andy did not tee it up correctly! That should make a difference to both durability and ball flight Personally I would not bother. I have just switched from plastic to bamboo castle tees because that is better for the environment, that is the height of tech I want with tees

[@pauldavis9188]

20 plus rounds in soft conditions. It's not broken yet. This test isn't of much use for me as Andy couldn't get the tee height the same. Andy try it on the course please.

[@wjhung2]

I think the tee is supposed to placed at an angle.

[@jaapdevries3147]

A tee must not: be longer than 4 inches (101.6 mm); ▪ be designed or manufactured in such a way that it could indicate Line Of Play; ▪ unduly influence the movement of the ball; or ▪ otherwise assist the player in making a Stroke or in his play. Meaning: this tee is illegal.

[@julienewman1286]

Surely if u tee it higher the ball will go higher. Be interested to c u use them outside when tee heights could b the same ish. Interesting for all that

[@rodneytullett2638]

Great to see how far an average golfer can hit a driver with a 95 mph swing. Feeling a little better now.

[@wadepreston3401]

Andy this is an unrelated question. What shaft weights are you using in your irons

[@christopherjohnson8693]

As we know, higher tee height is intended to allow more upswing to provide more carry, resulting in more distance. The Swiftee produced to much height in your case, but I believe your driver was at 10.5 degrees. Would decreasing the driver loft some then allow for a little lower trajectory. but by hitting up on the ball using the Swiftee (more so than with the pink tee) ultimately produce a bit more ball speed and therefore additional distance in comparison?

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Could well do and a very good point, I think what this does show is the importance of correct tee height to match driver loft and swing type

[@mikethompson6037]

Never blame Hannah she has provided some great video! Spend your coin on a pint.

[@fergusfitzgerald977]

Insert tee at an angle !

[@jonzee4drone377]

You ment to have that tee on a angle and same height as a yellow castle tee not straight up and down

[@mattneedham3595]

I actually won a pack of 8 flightpath tees. Which they claim won’t break. They cost something silly like £24.99. They did 😂 to be fair they replaced them. I think they do launch higher off them. Very hard work balancing the ball on them though so gave up using them in the end

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Some are suggesting these should be into the ground at an angle, if that is the case I feel it almost impossible to balance a ball on top of it!

[@mattneedham3595]

@ I used them once then the next time I was representing my club at Moor Allerton in Leeds. About 30 people around the tee as I was teeing off. I was very nervous. Could I get the ball to stay on the tee 😂

[@TheAverageGolfer]

@ 😂

[@MrBlueleon]

@@TheAverageGolfer it’s easy the head is set at an angle to keep the ball lever 🤷‍♂️

[@TheAverageGolfer]

@@MrBlueleon so if I teed it up too straight why did the ball stay in place? Surely it should have fell off if it requires to be laid backwards?

[@ianashton1226]

Why didn’t you just saw 5-10mm off the swiftee???

[@TheAverageGolfer]

@@ianashton1226 cos I don’t carry a saw in my golf bag 🙄

Andy id take some sort of measuring device in the course with me to get 10deg spot on ...shoildmt take long and pace of play will ne fine 😂😂😂....andy well done for reviewing mate but its a no for me ...id rather work on my swing then fanny about with that nonsense 😂

[@paulmckinley3843]

Andy, you're meant to tee it up 10 degrees backwards. I watched an Alex Elliot video the other day with exactly the same comparison (pink tees vs swift tees). I'm sure you'll have another go at this when you get outside, as i trust your opinions for us mere mortal golfers.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

How do you measure 10*?

[@conzmoleman]

@@TheAverageGolfereyeball it dude. start it perpendicular and tilt it very very slightly. not hard.

[@AlanHughes-s4o]

I found your hypothesis most interesting and as the comments below suggest, lack scientific gravitas for a number of reasons plus the unfortunate wiping of the evidence re hitting balls off the pink tees! Researchers would want to repeat the exercise to ensure equipoise in both arms of the experiment so that comparative data can be fairly evaluated. The concept that you can align a tee to influence direction of a golf shot seems to challenge the principles of the Rules of Golf as a type of artificial aid. Do the tees have R&A approval for competition play? Further research upon tee alignment and its influence upon the direction of the golf shot seems to need confirmation. The data you collected appeared to suggest that the scatter for the 10 pink castle tees shots was tighter that the Swiftee which is counter to that claimed. I'm presuming that this new tee peg is not in copyright dispute with a well known US female singer.

[@kev12558]

Tried them months ago. Don’t work for me.

[@RobotVoice99]

Not sure why you didn't at least cut one or two of the tees down so they could be at the correct height. Any comparison that is done without doing that is kind of pointless. This was more of a comparison of a tee heights than it was 2 different tee styles. It's a good 2/3 of a ball higher. And as others have pointed out, it's also meant to be placed in the ground at an angle.

[@fullsizerangerover]

is this tee legal?

[@TheAverageGolfer]

As far as I am aware, what rule would it break?

[@graemetaylor4149]

​@@TheAverageGolfertees are governed by rule 6.2 which, amongst other definitions states that a tee must not unduly influence the movement of the ball or assist the player in making a stroke. I would say it is illegal.

[@CharlotteK2008]

They’re that good all the pro’s use them…. Oh wait, that’s a standard wooden tee 🙄🙄🙄

[@rudy9050]

Sorry mate, but you actually used the tee the wrong way. It is supposed to be angled into the ground.

[@robertcain1447]

If you don’t tilt the swiftee by 10 degrees (hence it’s a 10 degree tee) then you’re using it wrong. Why create a video comparing tees, then use it wrong?

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Just to annoy you Robert 👍

[@robertcain1447]

Great work 👏

[@bigdogpete43]

Too gimmicky for me to think about.

I’d much rather hear ball contact and your commentary while you’re hitting than the (kind of silly) bouncy music. And check w the manufacturer … I don’t think you’re using those tees right.
