Heights that match the course.
Every other simulator tee picks an arbitrary number. We worked backward from how the ball sits on grass, and matched it exactly. Three SKUs. Real golf.
The hidden cost of fake heights
You spend a winter hitting your driver on a simulator. Your launch numbers look great. Spin sits in the window. Apex is repeatable. Then April comes and you tee it up on a real fairway and everything is different.
The reason: simulator tees almost never replicate the ball-bottom height of a wooden tee in soil. They pick a convenient height that the manufacturer can produce cheaply. Your simulator swing is calibrated to a ball position that does not exist on grass.
What we measured
A standard wooden tee, pushed into a fairway at standard depth, gives you the following ball-bottom heights for the three clubs you tee up most:
- Driver: 1¾" (44.45 mm). Half-the-ball-above-the-crown for a modern 460cc driver.
- Mini driver, 3-wood: 1" (25.4 mm). Lower CG, lower tee, ball brushing the deck.
- 2-iron, utility iron: ¼" (6.35 mm). Just enough to clear the turf.
Why we chose these three
The driver gets two tees per pack because it is the most-hit club at the range. The mini is for everyone who switched to a 16-degree mini, or who treats the 3-wood like a second driver. The 2-iron height is what every iron and every driving iron wants from a tee: barely above the surface, just clearing the mat.
Using real golf tees to practice real golf is practicing real golf.
This is what "transfer of training" means
Transfer of training is the technical term for "does the practice carry over to the actual game?" The literature is clear: the closer your practice context resembles the performance context, the better the transfer. Tee height is one of the simplest, most controllable variables in golf practice. We removed the gap.
