As promised, I got a Tlevel last week. It is larger than I thought. It took me a couple tries to get used to the ackwardness of inserting a tee and looking at the bubble level at the same time. At first I simply pulled out the tee as I removed the tlevel. But when I moved out the tlevel then the tee stayed in place. After a few tries it does take only a few seconds to insert a tee.
I took the tool directly on the course this past weekend and was surprised that I could make a normally slight slicing shot into a hook by just tilting the tee out (away from me). My ball went into someone's backyard as a result. Geezz! Now I know what the affect of tilting a tee is! I didn't get a chance to try the forward and backward tilting yet. I kept the tee upright on subsequent uses. I only used the Tlevel with my driver and 3 wood. I set the tee at the middle groove "D" for driver, and "A" for 3 wood. Irons I simply pushed the tee all the way into the ground, only the head of the tee was above the ground. I picked up tees laying on the teeing area and they fit on Tlevl just fine, except for the stubby ones. They don't fit well on the lowest height. This tool is made from some light plastic material. I simply put it in my pants pocket during my round. Toward the end of my round I felt a little more confidence using the Tlevel, and felt I get more consistent tee shots. And no one behind me was complaining about my slow play or lack of it.
My plan next is to take the Tlevl to the driving range and test different tee heights and amount of tilting with the tee. I'd like to find out myself if this tool is for keep or not. So far I am pretty impressed with this tool. It has answered some of my curiosity about the affect of tee tilting.
