A: Standard Insert for real tees and general practice, Foam Divot for maximum joint protection, or Gel Divot for the most realistic fairway feel.

A: Yes, but only with the Standard Insert. It includes 3 pre-cut holes for tee receivers. Foam and Gel inserts don't support real tees.
Q: How long do the hitting inserts last?

A: Yes, especially with the Gel Divot Strip which is specifically designed to handle divot practice and provide realistic turf interaction.
