The Launcher Tee This hybrid type tee is made from a semi soft composite and features a 36 percent smaller 'ball seat' area than a regular wooden tee. So So, it translates to less resistance and friction from the driver, and ideally longer drives off the tee. And maybe the biggest bonus is its durability no more grabbing a new tee out of your bag after every hole. Or better yet, give one to that annoying partner of your's who is seemingly always asking for one on every tee box.
