The Golf Tee That Hits “DRAMATICALLY LONGER DRIVES”

[@hovenad]

Let your mid-handicapper do the same test. If his results improve as well, then I think you are eating your words. Good Luck!

[@joefish41]

100% try this test again with a mid-handicapper!

[@601slacky]

Be interesting to see your mid handicapper test them. Also would be better to see them used on the course 👍

[@FrankRoosevelt32]

Someone did this calculation in Golf Digest or something YEARS ago. Question was "Does a golf tee slow down the driver head? If so, by how much?" After a long series of calculations, the conclusion said this: "Yes a golf tee slows down your driver head... about the same amount as a fly hitting your windshield while driving down the highway."

[@maxr2087]

So it doesn’t 🤣

[@mikeb3835]

I've been using brush tees for years, but not for extra distance, I use them because they don't break and are easy to find, I've been using the same tee for over 2 years. In the long run they're cheaper than wooden tees.

[@steventerence5758]

The stack and tilt swing for me stopped me giving up golf. I love it and would never change back..

[@w.trunks2472]

Do they do them in left handed 🙏😂

[@thomasskeffington4539]

Classy Artist yes but can only be used with left sided golf balls.

[@danrivera9084]

I use the "4 Yards More" tees. Without them my drives wouldn't go over 100 yards🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@happygolfer6335]

I would like to see you take them to the course. Also, some of the best 3w and long iron shots I have ever had have been off fluffy lies. The brush tee would kind of be a fluffy lie.

[@owenrivard8832]

Fluffy lies are my favorite for long distance the ball just takes off lol

[@davidbennett5891]

I have been using the same brushed tee for over a year so price isn't an issue they hardly ever leave the ground so you just don't loose them. I agree they don't go further but consistent height does allow for better contact

[@erickbauer8888]

I don’t believe anyone could push those in the ground where I live. I often break wooden tees trying to get them in the ground on tee boxes In Kentucky

[@bobbydungan4288]

Oh I'm with you on that

[@peterk814]

You have to pee on the ground a little to soften it up first. Duhhh

[@lilless2224]

I live in Ohio late summer sucks for putting tees in the ground

[@michaellepatourel2148]

I used to use them for years, only because I liked the consistent height, used 2 of them for 3 1/2 years so the cost isn't to high

[@allankegler849]

James, I’ve used them for years now, same height every time and driver bottom looks brand new. Never had any problems with them... as a matter of fact a playing partner asked to try it last weekend.

[@VillainCollector1]

"Sorry Tiger, one minute"......hilarious

[@swisstrader]

VillainCollector1 meh. Waaaay overplayed

[@CarlosPerez-hs6cm]

Actually found one of these left behind on a golf cart and started to use it. Liked results I was getting that I picked up a pack. They are easy to use and give consistent ball height off the tee to create confidence

[@BParker55]

Dude your dispersion looked way better! If I were you I'd prolong this test. Play a round and tee up 2 balls every hole one of each tee type. I'd love to see that

[@jackconnelly3315]

I used them years ago they also had a plastic domed button to use in the brush when inserting in the ground !

[@garethlloyd9828]

Tried one today, and the 4 yards more tees. The brush tee was actually quite good. Hit a few great drives with it... Didn't lose it, didn't break it. Its got my vote 🙈👍🏻

[@joshpinnell9025]

I'm a big fan of the channel. I'm also extremely interested in the the brush tees.. I love to see some further testing!

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Appreciate that John

[@joshpinnell9025]

Josh not John...

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Josh Pinnell typo. Thanks

[@jrr2479]

Was gifted a used one, the yellow XL version from a nice lady when I commented on her brush tees, she preferred the shorter ones. I like it enough that I'd probably get a new one when this one fails. Don't see a diff in distance, but haven't tried to measure that. *Pros* Good consistent height for my driver Stays in the ground, never look for a tee again (though i walked away from it once, lol) On grass range: tee up once, place ball, hit, repeat *Cons* Can take a little extra time to set up the ball, might be since it's been used Hard to aim the line on the ball towards target, which I like to do If the ground is hard it's a no go (but guess that's true for normal tees as well)

[@paulwalsh9680]

How about a 3-way comparison with pink castle tees? Could the consistency of tee height be a factor in dispersion?

[@mikecook8059]

I agree that I don't understand how it helps other than more consistent tee height.

[@richardsdiaz1]

You keep finding ways to surprise me with these videos! I expected no difference at all but the dispersal pattern was undeniable! A more consistent Tee height has to be the reason, right? It can’t just be the electric toothbrush head!! Let’s see a mid handicap test with these!

[@seancoxe3577]

I'm a mid-capper (14.3), and I got some brush tees from my wife for Christmas. I don't have a launch monitor, so I can only provide anecdotal data. Let me first say that, at the price point they present, I would never buy them for myself, but my experience with them is totally positive. They last for hundreds of swings, but they're not indestructible. Eventually you'll lose enough of the bristles that they won't support the ball anymore. I use the driver size, which is bright orange, so they're hard to lose. A big plus is that I never have to guess about tee-height, no matter what the condition of the grass on the tee box, so my strikes are more consistent. And dispersion (because I do keep general track of that) has been better as well--not so much because of the design of the tee as a more consistent setup. Are my drives longer? I keep track of that also. They're marginally longer, but more important, the distance is more consistent--again, I think, because of the more consistent setup. That's kind of long-winded, but, in brief, I'm sold on these tees. Now if I can just make the ones I have left last until next Christmas....

[@angel_of_death_666_]

James, you need to try the 4 more yards tees, seem to do well in all the tee tests.

[@mattj3351]

The spin is the key clue here! Your strike point in the face has moved as undoubtedly you’re teeing it at a different height. It would appear like the ball is higher with he brush thus giving you lower spin (higher strike on face) and ball speed slightly down (you’re not now middling the club). Wood tee you’re probably teeing it slightly too low.

[@injuredtabletennisplayer1474]

Used brush tees for a decade. My son used them through his successful high school career and they beat chasing tees on the driving range. The tees we used had longer drivers. And the fibers wore out and the ball would fall and it was harder to balance the ball. And had a difficult time driving the brush tee into the ground. Still have s few left...may go back to them. We’re using Birtees now.

[@jrs4516]

the spin reduction is interesting. is the brush slowing the bottom side of the ball at impact or just you hitting it higher on the face? and if the bristles are dragging significantly on the ball could it also be straightening some of the spin axis put on the ball? 50 ball test on each teal alternating every shot please :P

[@paulg7002]

I used them quite a bit in the past when I was playing at a 12-15 handicap. I just started playing again after 12 years and I will most definitely go back to them. I would say the benefit is consistent ball height when the tee is pushed down to the base. I don't think I noticed much longer drives, but they were straighter, and consitancy counts moer to me than distance. I think if they give me confidence, and like anything else, when I am more relaxed at address, it helps my swing be more fluid. why are the pros not using them, maybe it is harder to work the ball with purposeful draws or fades. I don't know the answer because I am not particularly long off the tee box, so I am just playing for down the middle.

[@nigeleyre6306]

Brush tees are not new i have used them, probably 5 to 10 years ago and they make no difference whatsoever. However they do break easily. I use long wooden pegs for everything just push them in further. No rummaging for a shorter tee. To sum up. They are Crap. Love your vids pal keep it up Nigel Sheffield.

[@rickoshay8288]

Too true, Nigel.

[@wahzoo]

I’ve had my brush tees for about 30 years and I love them. I finally through one away because the bristles finally broke off and won’t hold the ball. These are the only tees I have used for 30 years “ except iron shots”

[@neiltaylor1765]

There was a similar idea going around in the early 2000's that said they did a similar job but were made in plastic

[@kwacker45]

Yes I bought some..no difference then

[@MadRS]

I'd say that on tee boxes that are fairly firm that it would be quite difficult to use the bristled tee. In Australia even with well maintained courses the ground can get hard to the point of having to hammer a traditional tee into the ground (yes I have had to do this on many occasions).

[@gmuzz]

Good video. It's really useful to get some real numbers on these things and would be great to try them on the course with the mid handicapper

[@TheYeetom]

I bought a 3 pack of these 8 years ago just to try and I've still got 2 of them. I use them every time I golf, which is quite often. The only reason i only have 2 is because the first one i used for about 6 years started losing bristles. Wooden tees always break, 5.50 for 3 of these and your set for 10 years or more. It's far cheaper in the long run

[@allenwalker9412]

I've used one for the last year I'm all in you should use it at least try it for at least two months on the course

[@MattiLinna]

I use yellow Brush T, and i love it. Same tee whole year, every time same hight.

[@maamold]

I buy standard old school tee's with a blue strip on them, I use that blue stripe so the top of that strip is just barely visible above the turf in order to get a consistent height. Not sure that I'd want to be seen with a brush tee :-)

[@matthewtbowles]

James, please have your mid-handicapper (Mark?) try them. Use alternating shots and perhaps compare them against castle tees so the ‘consistent height’ factor can be eliminated in the test.

[@MichaelRawson]

Well I didn't expect that! They say a picture says 1,000 words. Dispersion was clearly better with the brush tee in that test. Would be very interested to see mid hcap retest though. Cheers!

[@paulc5817]

I like all your videos. They’re different.... nice mix of info instead of all reviews. How about a video on same club with different size grips? Intrigued by this as I age the midsize May cause less pain in my hands/joints but I have smaller hands

[@robertgazdich8871]

Try to mimick an outside in swing with an open club face and compare the wooden tee to a brush. I'd like to see those results.

[@brianmccool9728]

If you want old school, put down a pile of sand and see what you get. As long as you don't have to clean up after...

[@billwells3258]

I am a 10 handicap. Have used them (orange 2.4") for several years and continue to buy. Whether it's psychological or not, I hit the ball straighter and a few yards further when using them. I consider straighter more important than longer. I can usually use one for 10-15 rounds before the bristles start to loosen or come out. You don't have to worry about losing them. Have never had the plastic on them break. Am a fan...try one before you dismiss the idea.

[@SeemplesCL55]

Brush Tee pegs are useless in the wind on a Links course, the ball falls off!

[@kimhannemann]

I think you should repeat the test and if you get the same results, you absolutely should switch and become a sponsor of the BrushT. Might help with your transition to the M6.

[@benyoung3765]

I've used these tees. My favourite thing was that they were impossible to loose. I think you've bought the wrong size for driver. You need a large orange or larger yellow one, with the shoulder pushed to the ground. You might see better results with the correct one. My review: After a year or so, the point fell off mine. I replaced the spike with a bolt sharpened to a point. The bristles get bent out of shape if you don't use the sheath but that is a faff! 4 stars. I prefer the 100mm rubber bristle ones that come in a pack of 10. Each one lasts around a year before the rubber bristles fall off. I got mine from eBay.

[@rickoshay8288]

They introduced these more than 50 years ago!! I actually used these in the 1960s!!! Try to keep up-to-date, James.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Nowhere do I say it’s a new release ivon?

[@rickoshay8288]

@@JamesRobinsonGolf Indeed. but these tee pegs are REALLY "old hat", and they are generally useless. By the way, your blurb above suggests that the tee hits the ball!!! Your videos are usually very good, though.

[@Stavtok]

Nice vid James, especiallly the "Teeing it up at the Masters!" 🤣🤣 I wonder what the results would be against a Castle Tee? Would consistent height give similar results as opposed to the "reduced friction" claim.

[@KB-fo1sr]

Thats a good point; I'd like to see what 10 shots on them would look like in comparison 👍

[@deanarmstrong7516]

James I bought some of these absolute years ago maybe 20yrs ago, I also bought some of those rubber tees, today I am still using castle tees, the pack of brush tees I bought you had 3sizes in the pack and they were about a fiver, the big driver one I found didn't sit the ball very well, the theory made sense but I just didn't get on with them

[@trappervz9478]

The brush tee is a multi tool, not only is it a tee, it is also pretty good at cleaning the grooves on your clubs. also can double as a tooth brush for those times you are stranded at the course for several days working on your short game.

[@lefty8493]

I use these. I can’t say they make me a better golfer. I’m a 28 handicap so everything I can do to help I will lol. what I can say is I’ve never lost one of these tees. They do wear out but £6 a year isn’t too bad. The reason you were having trouble teeing up is because of the matt. The base of the brush tee should be tight to the ground. It’s rare that my tee moves out of the ground. If it does I’ve hit too low and actually hit the plastic. I like them just the same as castle tees but even if these give me 1% extra I’ll still use them.

[@calummunrp]

They are good when practicing with a driver on the range, grass range. They stay in the ground so you can hit lots of drives off the same height tee, without having to find the tee peg every time.

[@twowheelstouring482]

Yet again had to rush on to Amazon to make a purchase (other online retailers also available). If you measured dispersion as a percentage I'd suggest that it's significant enough for me to try it!!! Golf is such a mental game, is it cheating to have advantages??? Certainly not, otherwise we would all be teeing of with a donnay slammer!!!! Thanks James.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Any time Steve! Thanks mate!

[@eddybrand4633]

I haven't used them in years still have a yellow one in the bag only problem getting the ball on the tee in a 20+mph wind🤔😡

[@renmay3171]

Reminds me of the “wedge” tee. Claim was they were indestructible, I never broke a single one. But tracking them down after you hit your tee shot was a time consuming nightmare. They would fly every which a way, a long way at that. I lost so many that flew into a pond at the front of the tee box, I started using regular tees anywhere near water. I guess maybe they didn’t get enough reps to break before they disappeared.

[@Praisethelordjesusgod]

I use the champ Zarma fly tee and the pride professional tee both are great and offer less friction and it’s really hard to break. The pride tee also has markers to get the same tee height every time

[@ederwin9189]

Nice vid James! I think I will definitely put a few if these in the bag with a travel size tube of tooth paste....you know...for after the turn to get rid of the danger dog taste.

[@nevillecoleske6368]

Very interesting! It has actually gone straighter and a tiny bit longer. To make the test more conclusive can you do it again but hit with the brush tee first this time and see if it’s the same result?

[@guitarsandgolfballs]

Hi James, found one of these and used it till I broke it but no way would I buy one, basically I think it's a gimmick but glad to see you tested it. After watching a video the Today's golfer five day robot ball test and there's 25 yards dispersion with some balls a tee peg has zero effect, cheers

[@scottwachtler3835]

My 71 year old father uses those and loves them. He struggles using regular tees but these are much easier for him. However just like you he has trouble keep the ball on the tee sometimes.

[@heydeereman1040]

I have been playing them for at least 12 years. Still have many of the original ones. Like that I don't have to think about how much to push it into the ground. Never broken one and only lost a couple when I dropped them between tee boxes. How many bags of wooden ones have you gone through in 12 years?

[@tommiethatcher7265]

That surprised me and I love your fair test 👏👏, I don’t think I will buy these I love the wooden tees too much but if I found one then I would give it a try Interesting to see how many golfers would use them if the likes of Woods,McIlroy or Koepka were using them

[@josephdubiel7129]

Interesting results James. I guess the brush tee edged the wooden one in distance and dispersion. Not as big of a difference as what was being said. I personally will stick with what I am using. Those things look like miniature shaving brushes lol !!!! Hence , I put some in my shaving kit. Spider Dubiel

[@jamiebackhus900]

You should try the test again using the brush tee first. To determine whether they were straighter and more bunched due to the tee or being warned up. Because better bunching due to a tee is a big deal imo.

[@jakekovac3737]

Good morning from the US James!

[@banditbaker1675]

When you started the test I thought that there would be no differences at all and I usually find that golfers that use these type of gimmicky tees are pretty poor with their Driver anyway. But the results were interesting and I think that you should get Mark your MHG to give them a try, also try them out on the Course to see how they perform and how "easy" they are to use in a gaming environment.

[@petegalindez9961]

Hah! Came across this review…I used Brush Tees back in 2006!!! My boss that I played golf with was fanatical about golf (aren’t we all), and he swore by Brush Tees…I didn’t notice any improvement, and the brushes get a little tough to sit a ball on after a while…I would guess the results might be more dramatic if you have someone who hits down or level with the driver instead of hitting up (I’m assuming you hit up?)….

[@ILoveGreatThings]

Did it affect launch angle?

[@cavaleir1]

How do you get the brush tee in the ground in the winter when the ground is hard i have used my drive or a iron to practically hammer the wooden tee in the ground.

[@dcloder]

I could never see myself using those particular tees but maybe the plastic zero friction tees I could entertain. They look far more conventional and if it adds a few extra meters on top of the 10-15 I just got with my new driver, I'd be happy about that.

[@chrisfesta8579]

Have to test it on the golf course!

[@coreyvaillancourt]

On course with Mark! Let’s do this 👊🏼

[@bighaggis76]

Hi james. I noticed you said you like to tee the ball just higher than centre...is that the bottom or the equator of the ball?

[@mavrickkolpien2938]

I think of it as shooting a bow. Do u use the classic rest or a whisker biscuit

[@tommyh5540]

Very intriguing... but they do not look as good as old-school tees. If I find one I'll give it go.

[@chrisbarrett3781]

Had a pair of brush tees for years use them on and off - news flash! They make no difference 🙀 - although the ones I have will never be lost or broken 👍 so maybe in the long run they pay for themselves 🙃

[@Adrian-yv8sy]

question is are you going to be investing in them for your game? would not buy them but if found one would give it a go but as you said if they did give extra distance and more forgiving every tour pro would be using them also issue with tee being consistent height is that you cant then tee up or down for different flights

[@cwahkwong959]

they do work (dramatically for me)! played in best ball tourney today and used wooden tees for first two drives... lets just say we didn't use either of those two shots (in fact the second shots ball was never to be seen again). hole 8 I pulled out my brush tee to check the difference; not only did we use my shot (7 yards from green) but we also used my approach which put us on for a three footer and the guys let me go first to see if I could convert for a true, solo birdie - I did. two holes later was the long drive contest of the tournament.... I won by about 5 yards (closest guy, Jamie was in my group (6ft 1" - IDK if that makes a difference, Im 5'9" 130lbs). IDK i thought people should see a true positive story about it all and it just so happens to be that this happened today, and I just happened to see this video in my feed for videos to watch when I got home. Awesome results for me, thanks.

[@jfhill78]

Having a mark on the tee to gauge height consistently helps me more than anything.

[@OnlyPars76]

So I have a 10.7 handicap (yea that’s an odd number but it’s the exact average of my rounds this year) and I use a brush tee. Do I notice a difference? I can’t reallly say, I will say the brush tee feels more consistent with the height and it definitely last a lot longer that’s why I use them.

[@paullangan193]

Most people do not have the Attack angle that you and better golfers have. Can you try this by hitting down more or flatter like higher handicappers do. I have always thought that a normal tee that is tough to put in the ground with hard ground would then provide resistance to the ball that is not hit with an upward strike.(sorry long sentence)

[@paulrhodes5991]

Surely even with only 2 yards extra carry the extra height and 800rpm less spin WILL equal 5-10 yards more in total distance?? What was the total distance James? 🤔 Great video... Keep up the good work mate!

[@seancook2264]

Would be interesting to know if they are good for cleaning out your grooves!

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

[@Jediboxer]

Love your videos James! Could you review a less expensive golf club, like Acer, for us just starting out golfers who aren’t to a level of justifying an expensive set of clubs? Our local golf shop offers a fitted set of irons 6-P, 3 & 5 hybrid, and a driver for $550(US) all made by Acer.

[@medfloat5001]

the real test is, would you keep it in your pocket for 4+ hours during a round? Wood tees for me. They are thinner, lighter and adjustable and cheaper. although if I have a bad hair day I could bust one of them out and fix it...

[@wilddog1985]

I don't use the brush, but the 4more yards tee. I've used it all summer... just one tee. Just saying

[@diegolinares9967]

James take one brush tee with you and use them on the narrow par 4s or 5s. Could be useful

[@MrMikejam23]

Interesting. The dispersion was much better but as you said that could be down to the swing. I would like to see if it makes a difference to Mark. Maybe also mix it up with 5 old school, 5 brushes, 5 old school, 5 brushes. I use wooden and have never thought to blame the tee for my bad shots but I will be from now on. (I think I might get a slap from my playing partner if I dropped that excuse that in a medal).
