Offset tees: Shortcut to distance

The PTS Offset tee

Apologies to the golf industry but here's silly me thinking a golfer needs to spend a total of at least £1,000 on a series of lessons with a pro, a custom-fitted driver with a hot, adjustable face, interchangeable weights, a PURE'd Voodoo shaft, tactile grips and a ball costing nearly £4 in order to find an extra 20 yards off the tee!

When all the time a modest investment of a few pence could deliver the length they're desperately seeking.

The latest gadget aimed at discovering golfing Nirvana is revealed by PrideSports, the world’s leading producer of wooden golf tees, which has launched a revolutionary new PTS Offset golf tee.

It’s the first plastic tee to feature a 30-degree offset angle and claims to help deliver long drives by creating contact with the club at its maximum speed and optimum trajectory. PrideSports says it also
promotes an ascending blow, reduces friction, minimises spin and maximises distance.

Says Joe Zeller, president of PrideSports. “The PTS Offset tee provides a launch angle
and contact point that has never before been possible, resulting in longer, straighter drives.”

The Professional Tee System (PTS) follows demand from
pro and amateur golfers, for a system to identify golf
tee lengths that worked best for today’s diverse, oversize and hybrid golf
clubs. As a result, PrideSports abandoned the decades-old style of
identifying golf tee lengths by inches and created a proprietary system
of colour-coding for easy identification of length matched to clubface depth.

The PTS Offset Tee has a suggested retail price of £2.99 for a pack of
fifteen 2.75-inch tees and £3.49 for a pack of fifteen 3.25-inch tees.
