Evolve Golf Sweet Spot System Golf Tees

The height of the tee is in the ground is guided by Evolve Golf's depth indicators on the tee itself and the online Sweet Spot System.

Evolve Golf is the company behind the Epoch golf tee. Now, it's also the company behind the Sweet Spot System for its golf tees.

Certain Evolve Golf tees are marked - as the Vireo model above is - with four dots. These dots are "depth of insertion marks" - guides that help the golfer achieve consistent tee height.

The Sweet Spot System is an online tool now available on the Evolve Golf Web site that tells golfers what that proper tee height is for specific makes and models of drivers. Should you tee the ball higher or lower depending on the type of driver you own? The Sweet Spot System is Evolve's effort to answer that question.

How does it work? Visit evolvegolf.com/settings.php and click the "start now" button. Choose men's or women's drivers, then use the drop-down menus to select your driver make, model and year. The Sweet Spot System tool then shows you which tee depth marker (one of the four dots) to use as your target for tee height.

Why is it called "Sweet Spot System"? The company says that what the tool accomplishes is showing "proper tee height for consistent alignment between the golf ball and driver's 'sweet spot,' providing added accuracy and distance."

The online tool is free to use. Tees with the "depth of insertion marks" are available on various models throughout the Evolve Golf catalog.
