GolfTest
USA distributed 50 sets of the Flex Tee to average handicap
golfers and asked them to use the Flex Tee for 5 rounds
of golf and then complete a test form that asked them to
rate several criteria on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being
best. GolfTest USA complied the feedback from the test and
following are the results from the criteria we asked them
to evaluate and their comments.

"Increased distance over standard tee" averaged a 6.
"Overall rating" averaged a 5.
Comments
made by golfers
"It
was a great idea at first but I found that the unevenness
of the grass on a tee made if difficult to stand up and
when the wind blew it was almost impossible."
"To
hard to set up."
"Helped
me to see how high to tee the ball for different irons on
par threes."
"Found
if difficult to set up. Band wouldn't stay open. I had to
fiddle with the different sizes in my pocket, took time
to get correct band."
"Fits
easily in pocket. Easier to find. Goes quite a way sometimes.
Sometimes a little tricky to get ball to stay put-especially
on uneven/long grass."
"Nice
training aid to help determine the right height to tee ball
on drives."
"The
problem I had is that all the different length grass on
tee boxes causes different teeing heights and it was a pain
trying to find the right size. If all tee boxes were flat
and hard you could use the same one and they would be great."
"Helped
me adjust my swing plane. Provides immediate feedback on
club impact to ball."
"Being
made of rubber, they got hung up in my pocket and tangled
up with the other stuff."
GolfTest
USA Evaluation
After looking at the results of the test and the comments
made we have made the following conclusions. Most of the
golfers felt that it was difficult to keep the band (flex
tee) open while placing the ball on it. They also thought
it was difficult to keep it balanced on the grass when the
tee box was not completely flat and even. Golfers liked
the training aid aspect of the flex tee. It helped them
determine the right height to tee the ball and if their
swing was coming from the inside out or outside in.
We were
not able to determine if there is an actual increase in
driving distance as the result of using the Flex Tee. (Some
golfers felt they had longer drives using the Flex Tee)
We found
the Flex Tee to be an interesting innovation. We feel it
is most useful as a training aid. It has a reasonable retail
cost of $15. We feel that most golfers would benefit from
its use.
The
Flex Tee can be used from time to time to help a golfer
improve their game. Most of the golfers in the test indicated
that they would not use the Flex Tee in place of the standard
tee on a regular basis. We want to thank Flex Tee for allowing
GolfTest USA to conduct this test. We would welcome any
feedback from golfers regarding the Flex Tee.
The
manufacturer of Flex Tee offers the following comments.
