Rugby Kicking Tees

Q: What kicking tee does Fin Smith use?

A low cut tee presents the ball close to the ground at a shallow angle - suited to kickers who strike through the bottom of the ball with a flat, direct trajectory. A high tee presents the ball at a steeper angle for more loft on the strike. Most club players use a mid cut tee as a versatile middle ground. Adjustable tees let you experiment with different heights until you find what works for your technique.

Types of Rugby Kicking Tee

Rugby kicking tees come in several distinct styles and the right choice depends entirely on personal preference and kicking technique.

Low Cut Kicking Tees

Low cut tees sit close to the ground - the rugby ball is presented at a shallow angle, which suits kickers who strike through the bottom of the ball with a low, flat trajectory. Players who prefer a punchy, direct kicking style tend to use a lower tee.

Mid Cut Kicking Tees

Mid cut is the most widely used profile at club level. The ball sits at a moderate angle - enough elevation to get underneath it cleanly, without the extreme angle of a high tee. Most standard kicking tees fall into this category.

High Profile and Adjustable Kicking Tees

High profile tees present the ball at a steeper angle, which can help kickers who prefer to strike with more loft. Adjustable tees give you the option to change the height depending on conditions or personal preference - useful for kickers who switch between styles or play in varying conditions.

What Kicking Tee Does Fin Smith Use?

Fin Smith, England's fly-half uses an adjustable telescopic kicking tee - a three-section tee that lets him dial in the exact height he wants for different kick types and conditions. The adjustable tee has become increasingly popular at professional level because it removes the compromise of committing to a fixed height. The Rhino Adjustable Telescopic Kicking Tee is the closest equivalent we stock - three adjustable sections, rounded polymer construction for a clean contact point, and the same flexible setup used by professional kickers who want consistency across varying pitch conditions.

What Kicking Tee Does Sam Prendergast Use?

Sam Prendergast, Ireland's fly-half, has been associated with Rugby Bricks - their mid and low cut designs are popular among professional kickers who want consistent ball presentation. If you're looking to replicate the setup used by current professional kickers, Rugby Bricks is the brand to look at.

Rugby Kicking Tees for Rugby League

Rugby league uses the same kicking tees as union - the same styles and brands apply. The main difference is that penalty kicks in league are less frequent than in union, so the kicking tee sees less matchday use, but the same principles around height and ball presentation apply for conversions and drop-outs.
