Balance-Certified Golf, Inc. secured the Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions title at the Commerce Bank Championship event over the weekend in East Meadow, New York. The Grand Champions competition is an "event within an event" that is run simultaneously with the Champions Tour tournament and is composed of Champions Tour players who are at least 60 years of age. The Grand Champions winner competed against 22 other players, achieving a 1.751 putts per Green In Regulation (GIR) average, and finished in a very respectable tie for seventh overall in the Champions Tour Tournament.
The winner used a Two Ball Blade putter that was specifically optimized and tuned to match his individual putting stroke characteristics. Once the player was fitted for putter length, lie, and loft, Balance-Certified Golf’s (BCG’s) Pro-Balanceâ?¢ shaft weighting system was used to fit the inertial properties or "balance" of the putter to the player through a proprietary process called Motion Balancing. Four players that finished in the top 18 used BCG’s system at the Commerce Bank Championship event. In fact, BCG Staff player Tom Jenkins finished second with an extremely strong 1.643 putts per GIR average.
BCG’s President Jeff Lindner said, "More and more Tour players are requesting our products from one week to the next. As a result, we have significantly stepped up our Tour presence at every level this year. In fact, we have personally fit well over 175 players on the PGA, LPGA, Champions, European, and Nationwide Tours. We have always believed that Tour presence is extremely important. This has been true since we began our Tour support efforts back in 1999 with our first prototype Pro-Balanceâ?¢ shaft weighting system." BCG products are currently carried on the Tour bags of several golf club manufacturers and in several Tour support vans as well.
BCG’s Pro-Balanceâ?¢ line introduces strategically located weights that can be used to adjust a golf club’s vibration and response characteristics and can be installed in any brand of golf equipment. "We are the first and only company to take golf club dynamics to a scientific level making ‘feel’ a definable and tunable parameter," said Lindner. BCG’s approach goes far beyond simply bolting a weight to a golf club. BCG designs have been optimized through a proprietary parametric modal analysis technique to modulate the actual shape that the club deforms into when it vibrates. "Simply bolting a weight on a golf club with dumb luck does not achieve the same results," noted Lindner.
In independent testing by such notables as www.equip2golf.com and PGA Tour Partners, BCG’s systems have been shown to deliver increased ball speed in drivers, increased control of iron play and a tangible benefit in "feel" and distance control of putters. Dubbed the "Best Invention for Serious Golfers" at the 2004 PGA show by noted golf writer James Achenbach of Golfweek, the product has shown a steady rise in consumer acceptance. The company’s dealer network has increased to over 700 retail accounts worldwide. Dealer inquiries are welcome.
