When it comes time to tee it up with your buddies on a Myrtle Beach golf trip, everyone is looking for an advantage. Sometimes an edge comes in the form of a space age driver or the confidence derived from a new putter.An advantage can also be gained from something as simple as the type of tee one plays; at least that’s what the folks at Tornado Tee say.
The Tornado Tee is an adjustable height product that provides maximum energy transfer from the club head to the golf ball, which in turn creates more distance.
Specifically, the Tornado Tee produces less friction between the top of the tee, the ball and the club – golf’s holy trinity of impact. Third party data, collected and studied by Trackman, one of the game’s leading launch monitors, showed a decrease of 400-800 rpm when using a Tornado Tee, a result that greatly reduces sidespin and backspin.
The loss in spin helps players generate up to 10-15 more yards in distance, and it mitigates the severity of a slice or hook.
The tee is 3 ¼ inches tall; but the high-tech,mesh-like material that tops the last inch of the tee can be adjusted, making it usable with a full range of clubs. The material makes the Tornado Tee the least resistant in golf and it’s also among the most durable, with each tee lasting several rounds.
Tornado Tee conforms to all USGA and R&A specs.
The Verdict: Will the tee really provide you with 10-15 yards of additional distance? For the average player, probably not, but it could add a couple yards and any product that attempts to reduce “side to side dispersion” (translated: a hook or a slice) is worth checking out.
At first glance it might appear the ball would be difficult to tee up, but that’s not the case. Tornado Tee is easy to adjust and use. If you are in the market for an alternative tee, give it a try.
Imagine having to use just one tee throughout your next Myrtle Beach golf vacation.

Tornado Tee
