of course a tee isn't necessary; if you don't want to use one, then don't.For clarity, it was a 3" thick plastic tee pushed down damn near the full length. The tee does not break or "give" when you hit just the very head of it with the rest of the length firmly in the turf. So I don't think any internet "alternate physics" was at play, it was just a bonehead move with a hard plastic immovable object under the ball.
Regardless, I should have remembered I don't need a tee for a wedge.....
In hindsight, my largest mistake was posting this thread. lol
U saw a study that determined that balls struck well with an iron from the turf go further than balls struck well from a tee. My conclusion was to be consistent in using or not using a tee with each club.
I’m with you on that. Step tees on every tee box, with the 1/4“ on the short irons and wedges.I use these, they are 1" total length and barely stick in the ground. I can't imagine they interfere with my club at all.
Isn’t there some sort of trick with tee height and wedges/irons to reduce spin? I thought I remembered a commentator eluding to something like that during a tournament.
Outta my wheelhouse though..
I do this for the same reasons and I think the consistency has helped my iron and wedge shots from the fairway and rough.No tees for irons here. I like the consistency, given my play/practice time is limited.
