Default Martini Tees--Do they change the balls flight?

I don't know. I think the ball has left the tee before the club hits the tee. What do you think?

Default Martini tees

I don't think they make a difference. Not in my ball flight, at least. Perhaps for a scratch player they do. On the other hand, I've yet to break one. I played more than 30 rounds with the same Martini tee before losing it.

that those tees are for those with the inability to calm their nerves enough to put the ball on a regular tee....for those that utilize those tees...kudos!, but if you think those that use them would ever be able to tell the difference they make(+/-)then you'd likely be incorrect....

According to some tests "they" claim both longer and straighter drives. I have not used one. My Experence is its not the equipment but the "golfer" that makes the difference!

If you use a martini tee be sure to tilt it 3 degrees forward.

I read a story that a person asked John Daly for advice to hit their drives farther, and he suggested they lean their tee a few degrees forward.

Then they asked how much extra distance they would get, and he said, "About a half-inch".

I love them. Durable and when you have the shakes, easy to place the ball in the larger cradle.

I think I need to learn how to read. I truly wondered what kind of balls a martini tree had, how they changed and what a martini tree looked like. I imagined a sort of tulip or umbrella shaped tree with large, while, fluffy pods on it. Okay, y'all can go back to golf now that I admitted my stupidity.

I played with a couple from Scotland yesterday that have been coming here for 15 years. I learned that where they come from it doesn't get dark until 10pm in the summer. I wonder if that why golf is popular because at least in the summer you can put in a full days work and still have time for 18 holes.
The were a delightful couple with a good sense of humor. I asked about their courses and it struck me funny that they are each members of 2 different country clubs but not each others. He told me the rough in Scotland is different and that is doesn't get tangled in your club like here. She said that here she has to hit one club more than back home. She suspects it's the air here. They love the villages and found the place in a golf magazine. They also said that only tourists play at the big name courses and their a small named courses that are just as nice but not nearly as expensive.

Quite normal for me too. I was checking the posts and I thought someone was selling a Cleveland Attitude Driver. I think I've met a lot of people from Ohio that are using them.
