The Brush T

I started using Brush Tees after I found one on the golf course. That was a couple years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. Why do I like the Brush T? Let me count the ways:

2 – They never break. You’re only risk is of losing them. As long as you use the container that they come in, they won’t lose their shape over time either.

3 – You’ll hit the ball farther using the Brush T. Unlike a tee that is cupped, the ball sits flat on the tips of the bristles. With a cupped tee, spin is imparted on the ball as it rubs against the cupped edge of the tee. It may be slight but this spin and friction will result in lost distance. Everybody wants a few extra yards, right?

Try them out, the Brush T comes in all sizes for every club.

I just picked this up from Amazon.com. Used it Sunday and hope to take it out on the course again on Friday. Perhaps after a trip to the range, I’ll have enough feedback to write up a little review of the Taylor Made Golf- Rescue Mid Hybrid Iron/Wood Graphite.

I’ve never been a big fan of rescue clubs. The Taylor Made Golf- Rescue Mid Hybrid Iron/Wood Graphite still has not made me a big fan of rescue clubs. The Taylor Made Hybrid that I purchased is similar to a two iron in loft. I was thinking that it would be a good club to hit on my second shot into par 5’s. I think it would also be useful to keep the ball lows and get out of trouble under trees. I haven’t had much use for it off the tee as of yet. Perhaps a higher loft Taylor Made Rescue club would come in handy on more par 3’s.

I hit mine about 215 yards, and it does loft the ball much higher than a 2 iron. It is easier to hit than an iron but, in my opinion, not as easy to hit as a wood. I’ll keep working with it and keep you posted.

Update 3-23-08 I’m still not a huge fan of hybrid clubs. Perhaps, I should have purchased a higher lofted rescue club. I don’t use it off the tee much and rarely use it on other shots. It could come in handy as a good chipper though. I’ll look for more opportunities to use the rescue this season.
