Is a forward arm tee helpful?

I have a batting tee at home. Its called a K-Tee. The tee is a forward arm tee. In other words the cup that the ball sits on is actually about 6" in front of the main stem. This eliminates an uppercut to the ball or you will hit the stem itself. So you must come in on a straight line to hit it square. It looks a bit like this:

ball O
----|
| stem
<---- |
|
|
------ base

Hopefully you can see from my crude art work that the ball is in front of the stem, and if you uppercut you will never hit the ball but crush the top of the stem.

thanks
Paul
