Does the world really need another golf tee?

Author: geek, 10 11th, 2007

A Balance Golf TeeI play golf.  I’m a geek.  I like gadgets.  When I want something new I generally look for LED lights, LCD displays, and sometimes I even search for a driver or putter that will significantly improve my game.  All right, sometimes I just look for things that will either make me look more well prepared (e.g. geekier) or that will look better in my bag.  Until now, I have seldom thought that a new tee could make me look more well prepared or worldly.  Apparently, while I wasn’t looking, Moma (Museum of Modern Art) changed that.

That’s right the A-Balance Golf Tee  claims:

The three-piece construction and four rounded pins of this tee are designed to reduce resistance and friction between the club head and the tee at impact, minimizing backspin and sidespin to create a flatter, more penetrating flight for longer distance off the tee. Set of three.

Which is exactly what I need to improve my game.  All righty then.
