Stinger Golf Tees 2006
1. To improve performance, the cup of the new Stinger tees has been made deeper. Now the golf ball does not touch the bottom of the cup, but instead sits only on the sides of the cup. This further reduces drag and spin as the ball leaves the Stinger tee platform.
2. The tip of the new Stinger tee has been made longer and sharper to “bite” the ground quicker. This allows golfers to more easily use the full height of the tee.
3. A new proprietary Teflon based finish creates “slickness” to the new Stinger tee which further reduces resistance, and allows the tee to biodegrade even quicker.
4. Stinger tees are now made from white birch, a grainier, more flexible and forgiving wood.
With the new performance enhancing benefits and overall improved quality, the new Stinger
On August 18, 2003 a robotic test was performed by, an independent golf equipment testing facility in San Diego, California.
The test was conducted to compare the difference in the performance of golf balls hit off of a regular 2-3/4" wooden tee to those hit off a 3" Stinger "COMPETITION" golf tee.
A Callaway Great Big Bertha driver with 10 degrees of loft was used for the test and the robot swung the club head at approximately 95 miles per hour.
The test results definitively proved the following:
-
The golf ball left the Stinger "COMPETITION" tee 2 mph faster than the regular tee.
-
The golf ball spun an average of over 500 RPM less off the Stinger "COMPETITION" tee than the regular tee.
-
The golf ball had a slightly higher trajectory and carried farther off the Stinger "COMPETITION" tee than the regular tee.
-
The total distance the golf ball traveled hit off of the Stinger "COMPETITION" tee averaged 14 yards farther than a golf ball hit off of a regular tee.
