Why Do My Tees Keep Breaking?

Golfers who frequently break tees during tee shots are likely dealing with either swing mechanics or external factors. The article outlines five primary culprits behind consistent breakage, including teeing the ball too low, hitting down on the ball with a steep driver swing, and placing the ball too far back in the stance. Striking the tee with the club's heel or hosel can also cause frequent snaps.

Beyond swing mechanics, the article notes that external variables like firm ground or low-quality, brittle wood tees frequently cause breakage. Golfer feedback can be drawn from the break itself, as tees snapping at ground level often signal a downward strike, while those breaking midway suggest a low tee height. Switching to bamboo or plastic tees is recommended for durability.
