Golf Laboratories, Inc. in California tested the new USA made Aero-tee™ along side of the standard wooden tee and 5 other competitors, 4 of them plastic. The Aero-tee™ proved to perform better in all the categories.
Aero-tee™ is the standard that all golf tees will be measured by in the future.
The test results are in. The Aero-tee™ added distance, loft, was more accurate and had a longer roll. Of course all of this came from the easily repeated mechanical swing. With very little effort, the Aero-tee™ has moved into the ranks as the tee to try.
Golf Laboratories, Inc. has a patent for their computer-controlled robot. Gene Parente, the President of Golf Laboratories is a member of Golf Digestıs Technical Advisory Panel and was named one of the Golf industryıs top 40 executives under 40. The Golf Laboratory machine used a Calloway 9 degree GBB2. The tee heights were set so that the ball was hit in the measured center of the clubıs face. The angle of attack is considered to be neutral to positive.
ACCURACY
The tees were measured by dispersion from the imaginary midline of the target. Dispersion is the measurement of the spread pattern, laterally, where the ball falls. This test judges the Accuracy of the ball. The Aero-tee™ took the number 1 spot with a 5.72ı Carry Dispersion (where the ball landed) and a 6.11ı Total Distance Dispersion (where the ball stopped).
LAUNCH ANGLE
Launch angle was next on the list. The launch angle is the angle of the ball as it leaves the clubıs face, The Aero-tee™ measured the highest launch angle at 13.58 degrees.
DISTANCE
Roll distance is the measurement from first ground contact to where the ball stops. Aero-tee™ had the greatest roll distance of 17.50 yards. The next closest competitor was the wooden tee at 14.33 yards.
Total Distance which is equivalent to Carry plus Roll, we were still #1 at 241.33 yards. This number was the average yardage of 6 shots. The maximum was 245 yards and the minimum, was 239. We beat out the wooden tee and our best plastic competitor in this category was a yard behind the Aero-tee™.
Non-wooden tee # 5 had a Carry Distance of about three yards further than the Aero-tee™, but more importantly lost to the Aero-tee™ in Total Distance by about a yard. Additionally, dispersion measurements for the Aero-tee™ were about 5 feet better both in carry and distance than this tee.
We have the full test results, without the names of our other competitors of course, posted on the website for further review. Another note regarding the test, the club head velocity was held between 99.17 and 101.33 MPH.
All test results aside due to player individual variations - the only way for a golfer to prove the tee makes a difference for them, is to give the Aero-tee™ a try. Order yours online today at our website store www.aero-tee.com.
