Abstract
There is disclosed a golf tee implementing an anchoring device, an impact energy deflection device and a friction reduction device in one-piece configuration. The tee anchoring device comprises two anchoring fins for initial impact resistance and the recoil dislodgement prevention fin after-impact resistance. The an energy deflection device of a gradual diameter reduction section minimizes the absorption of the impact energy by golf tee. The golf ball friction reduction device reduces less ball spin for more ball flight. The golf tee combined with these improvements, is made to stand with repeated use time after time.
Claims6
A golf tee with anchoring device, impact energy deflection device, friction and lean reduction device in one-piece configuration, comprising:
- a cylindrical main shaft with pointed stem at the bottom;
- an anchoring device having two anchoring fins fixed at the main shaft at an angle of 165 to 140 degree with a shaft cutout portion in the center of the angled anchoring fins side, said anchoring device further comprising a recoil dislodge prevention fin on the opposite side of the angled anchoring fins, said recoil dislodge prevention fin being half the length of the anchoring fins and at the bottom pointed tee section so as to be inserted deeply into the ground and provide an angled fin facing toward incoming impact;
- an impact energy deflection device comprising a gradual diameter reduction of the main shaft toward the top of the golf tee;
- and
- a friction and a lean reduction device comprising a concaved cavity tee top surface having three dimples equally distributed on the periphery of the concaved cavity top surface;
- wherein the tee main shaft with a pointed stem at the bottom comprising with the 165 to 140 degrees angled anchoring fins, the recoil dislodge prevention fin, the energy deflecting device, and the friction and lean reduction device is made of substantially flexible but indestructible, reusable plastic material as an one piece tee unit.
