Our Story
Before Drop Tee existed, we spent nearly seven years building golf simulators for homes, businesses, teaching studios, and commercial facilities.
We saw firsthand what worked — and more importantly, what didn’t.
One thing was clear: everybody loved the idea of an auto tee system.
But the reality? It just wasn’t accessible.
Our original “legacy” auto tee product was massive — nearly 70 pounds — and required an elevated platform, ball-return system, and costly construction. It demanded 10-foot ceilings, technicians for maintenance, and thousands of dollars in installation costs. When it worked, it was great.
But when it didn’t?
- Balls got stuck inside the machine
- Tee components constantly broke
- Repairs were difficult because everything sat under the platform
- Business owners were frustrated
- And we were driving out to fix units 10–15 times at the same store
It became obvious:
Auto tee was a premium experience… delivered by an impractical system.
One night, after yet another repair call, the thought hit: There has to be a better way.
Not a platform. Not a giant machine. Not something only luxury spaces could accommodate.
Something simple.
Something elegant.
Something that disappears into the hitting mat and just works.
That spark became Drop Tee.
The Journey
The first idea seemed promising — until six months of prototyping proved it wasn’t viable. So we scrapped everything and started over.
We spent the next nine months redesigning, testing, rebuilding, and refining, driven by a single goal:
Create an auto tee system that solves every problem the old systems created.
And finally — we did it.
- A 1.6-inch profile that fits directly into your hitting mat
- No platform, no construction, no ball return needed
- A simple 12V system you plug into the wall
- Assembled in the United States for tighter quality control
- Replaceable tee cartridges that swap out in minutes
- A dramatically reduced MSRP of $1,750 instead of $10,000+ installed
- Fully retrofittable into almost any existing simulator bay
Drop Tee delivers everything people loved about auto tee — without the frustrations, without the costs, and without the complexity.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make the auto tee experience:
- Accessible — for commercial bays, home simulators, and everyone in between
- Effortless — no bending down, no lost rhythm, no mechanical headaches
- Reliable — simple components, easy servicing, built for high-volume use
- Inclusive — adaptive golfers, older golfers, kids, and anyone with mobility limitations now get the same experience as elite players
We believe the best golf technology isn’t the biggest or the most expensive — it’s the technology that quietly improves every swing, for every golfer.
What We Stand For
Innovation with purpose
Every design choice solves a real problem we witnessed firsthand.
Technology that disappears
Great products work so smoothly, you forget they’re even there.
Lowering barriers, raising experiences
Auto tee shouldn’t be reserved for facilities with $10,000 build-outs.
Now, anyone can have it.
Reliability above everything
If it breaks often, it isn’t innovation — it’s inconvenience. Drop Tee is engineered to last.
The Future
Drop Tee is just the beginning.
We’re committed to creating tools and technologies that elevate the simulator experience without complicating it.
A future where:
- Every commercial bay is automated
- Every home simulator feels premium
- Every golfer — beginner to pro — practices more comfortably
- And auto tee becomes the standard, not the exception
This is the future we’re building.
