Summary

926: All golf tees are not the same. Usually tees are cupped at the top so that you can set the ball on top and shoot in any direction. But we only hit in one direction when teeing off. Our guest, Dr. Daniel Whalen, an environmental engineer, golfer, and son of an inventor, realized that if you create an open area in the direction you’re hitting the ball, there’s less friction on the ball resulting in longer and straighter tee shots. Reviews from all over the internet have confirmed the science that Daniel has created. Learn more at flightpathgolf.com.
Excited to announce that you can get a free box of 8 tees when you become a Golf Smarter Ambassador and open an upcoming episode. Trust me, even with regular play 8 Flight Path Golf tees could easily last you a full year, if not longer!

0:00.0	So every golf tee you've seen before, you know, typically a wooden golf tea or most golf
0:06.1	teas are a circle on top. You look at the tea from the top down and you've got a circle.
0:10.3	And then performance golf teas, they come on the market and they try to reduce friction
0:14.9	on the tea. But they try to reduce the friction on the tea in all directions of that tea,
0:19.2	360 degree orientation because they don't know
0:22.0	which direction you're placing that T, so they're trying to just reduce friction in all directions.
0:26.0	So that actually limits you because you now have to conform all the way around.
0:30.2	What we take advantage of here is a very simple first principle, and that's when you're driving,
0:35.0	when you're teeing off, you're only hitting in one direction.
0:37.4	So if that's the case, why not maximize as much friction reduction as possible in that direction,
