Juli Inkster Signature Series club set leads the way
WARREN, Mich. — Tiger Shark Golf announced that sales are up 31 percent over 2005 through the first three quarters due in large part to the success of the Juli Inkster Signature Series club set.
Inkster, who signed with Tiger Shark in 2004, is a spokesperson for the line of clubs she co-designed. The Inkster Signature Series comes with Juli’s Exclusive "Quick-Fit" Fitting Systemâ?¢ that helps you tailor the set of clubs to fit your height. It has been out for more than two years and a second generation of Inkster clubs will be launched this fall. The LPGA Hall of Fame member is close to crossing the $10 million in career earnings, has a career total of 31 LPGA victories, seven of which are majors along with three U.S. Amateur Championships and is sixth on the LPGA money list. Her last win came earlier this year at the Safeway International.
Tiger Shark has more than 1,000 accounts in all 50 states with major retailers like Edwin Watts, GolfSmith, Pro Golf, Nevada Bobs, PGA Tour Shops, Golf Headquarters and Golfers Warehouse.
"We have done very well selling the Tiger Shark products over the years, and especially lately with the Juli Inkster Signature Series," said Steve Claude, Edwin Watts Purchasing Agent. "The packaging of their product is done very well and their price point is where it needs to be. They offer the right mix of club sizes in their Inkster Series … we sell a lot of the standard size set but also sell the petite and extra length clubs too."
Tiger Shark, most widely known for their unconventional but very functional oversized putter grip, also sells High Launch (HL) clubs, two different putter types, and package club sets for men and women. With Tiger Shark’s HL clubs, their engineers repositioned the weight to the back of the clubs, which lowers the center of gravity to help generate better shots with higher launch angles and lower spin rates.
Their Green Speed putters allow you to change the weight in the putter instead of changing your stroke to compensate for the differences in the green speeds. Their Great White stainless putters feature the legendary oversized putter grip. Tiger Shark offers both a premium and entry level package club sets for both men and women.
"We have sold Tiger Shark products for the past six or seven years and this has been an extremely successful year so far," said Shawn Walsh, Colorado Ski and Golf, Golf Merchandise Manager. "The Inkster Series set is the best selling ladies unit that we have sold of all time as far as units sold. Tiger Shark offers great promotions with their set. We have given Tiger Shark preferred vendor status, which is a designation we have only afforded to two other companies in the golf business."
Tiger Shark has sold more than 1 million putter grips since the launch of the oversized grip. The grip dates back to the 1980s and also serves as a great training aid for putting.
"The black and gold Tiger Shark oversized putter grip is amazing," said Claude. "It has consistently sold well for the past 10-15 years."
So whether you’re a novice to the game or an avid golfer, Tiger Shark has the right clubs for you.
