Choosing a golf tee should be more than rummaging aroung in the bottom of your golf bag.
1. Choose the length of golf tee you want.
Most golf tees come in one of four lengths: 2 1/8″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/4″, and 4″. You can choose the 2 1/8″ or 2 3/4″ tees for hitting your hybrid golf clubs or your irons off the tee. You can choose a 3 1/4″ tee for hitting smaller drivers off the tee, and 4 inch tees fo
when you’re using bigger drivers.
Most people only get one kind of tee for golfing, and so you’ll probably want to choose one of the middle two sizes, as they’re likely to be long enough, and you can always stick them deeper in the ground if you’re using a hybrid or an iron. That’s not always going to be the case if you get a 4″ tee. Those may be hard to get into the ground that far. So if you get 4″ golf tees, you’ll want to have some smaller tees along for when you tee of with a hybrid or your irons.
2. Plastic or Wood Tees?
Well there are good and bad for both kind of tees. If you choose plastic they are likely to last longer than wood tees. Some people feel that the plastic doesn’t have enough give when you strike the ball. Wood tees can break easily and you’ll have to have a lot more of them with you on the golf course.
3. What style of tee should I use?
There are many different styles of tees around that promise all sorts of results. We suggest that you try different tees to see which one works best for you and then use it for a while and see if it makes a difference.
Brush Tee – The brush tee is a golf tee that utilizes flexible synthetic bristles that bend on impact to tee up the ball. It’s said to feel like you’re teeing off the air. The unique design reduces friction allowing for longer, straighter drives. These golf tees are 3 1/8″ in height.
The Zero Friction and the Epoch golf tees are plastic tees that look more like traditional golf tees. The tops of these golf tees are designed to help reduce the friction and again increase the speed, distance and accuracy of your shot. 
The Zero Friction tees are 2 3/4″ and the Epoch golf tees are available in 2 3/4″ or 3 1/4″ lengths.
Traditional Wood Tees – If you prefer to use traditional wood tees you’ll have a lot of options to choose from. I like the Nike golf tees. They’re 2 3/5″ pro length, and give you all the flexibility you need. Or if you don’t want to pay for the brand name tee, you can choose these wood tees which are available in 2 3/4″ and 3 1/4″ inches long.
