Question 1

How deep should I push the base into the ground?

Accepted Answer

The base should go all the way into the ground — as deep as possible. Many golfers assume it only needs to go in as far as the top of the base, but that's not correct. Bend the tee forward, press the base firmly into the grass, and if needed, use your foot to push it all the way in. A fully seated base gives you a stable, consistent platform every time.

Question 2

I press down on the tee like a normal golf tee but it won't go in solidly. What am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

The Swing Smart Tee is not inserted the same way as a traditional tee. Do not press straight down on the cup of the tee — it will feel unstable and be difficult to seat properly. Instead, pivot the tee forward and press down on the base. It slides in cleanly and sits firm. (See diagram image)

Question 3

How do I insert the tee into the base?

Accepted Answer

Same technique as above — do not press the tee straight down from the top into the base. Pivot the tee forward first, then press the ball joint down into the socket of the base. It will seat securely and be ready to use. (See diagram image)

Question 4

How do I remove the tee from the base to change tee heights?

Accepted Answer

Do not pry the tee sideways against the edge of the base — this can bend or stress the tee over time. Instead, hold the base firmly with one hand and grip the tee with the other, then pull straight apart. The tee will pop out cleanly without bending.

Question 5

My tee pops out when I hit a drive. What's causing that?

Accepted Answer

There are two common causes. First, check your contact point — if you're catching the ball too low on the clubface, you may be striking the base of the tee rather than the ball, which forces the tee out. Move your contact up into the sweet spot of the club. Second, make sure the 90-degree cutout on the base is facing forward so the tee pivots directly into it at impact. Hitting too low can also put pressure on the front of the base and cause cracking over time.

Question 6

Is there a warranty if my base breaks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send us your mailing address, cover $3.50 for postage, and we'll send you a replacement set of bases so you can get right back to practicing.
