Do brush tees really make a big difference? Do you recommend them? Or are normal tees better. I'm new to the game so I wanted to know which is best. Thanks for the help!

And non-alcoholic beer...Brush tees are like visors & golf sandals. rop:
I like reusable tees, but I don't like the Brush Tee. I've been using the 4 Yards More Golf Tee, and it's been working great. I don't think it does squat as far as adding distance, but I like only having to carry one or two tees, and I also like not littering the course.
I have a pack of those from the show I keep forgetting to throw in the bag. How long do they last before you need to replace them? I have been using the Zero Frictions for a while, but I hate trying to place the ball on top of them as it falls off way too easily. The best thing about Zero Frictions is that the only ones I have had to replace are the ones I have lost. I have yet to break one.
They seem to last a good long while. I have yet to damage one.I have a pack of those from the show I keep forgetting to throw in the bag. How long do they last before you need to replace them?

That is one thing about the zero frictions, I don't use them in the winter because if you manage to get them in the ground without breaking, they break on almost every tee shot it seems. Usually go back to regular tees when the ground gets hard.That and if you run into some hard ground at the teebox and you're trying to push it in with the ball and it slips it can cause a pretty nasty cut on your hand. Those prongs are fairly sharp.
... but Tim wouldn't know anything about that unless he has some liquid nitrogen experiment gone awry.
I don't understand all these claims of "increased ball speed, launch angle, and distance." How can a tee possible affect any of those things? The tee holds the ball at a particular height. The club hits the ball and propels it well downrange before the head contacts the tee. There is no friction between the tee and the ball - at least not enough to overcome the energy transfer between the ball and the club.
