ITASCA, IL. – January 5, 2006 — Excel Golf Products, Inc., known for their tremendously successful Zero Friction Golf Tees, the "Winningest" performance golf tee on Tour announced today that the company has developed another division exclusively for the manufacturing and distribution of Tocare Golf Grips, pronounced Toe-Carr-eh.
The decision to expand into another product category was a natural progression for Excel Golf Products. The company constantly seeks out new and innovative ways to improve golf products. The acclaimed Zero Friction Golf Tee with its unique three-pronged teeing system elevated the tee into a technical piece of equipment. The same methodology pertains to Tocare Grips.
Typically, grips are designed for superficial purposes; not Tocare Grips. They combine internal and external components to make the most radical and revolutionary grip ever introduced. The concept is similar to the technology utilized in movie theatres where High Tech diffusion patterns help absorb sound frequencies to perfect the level of intensity. The first line of grips for Tocare called Tocare Tour, also known as T2, feature an inner core that diffuses vibration in similar fashion to that of high end theatres. Its patent-pending, diamond-shaped interior configuration form Tocare’s VDP Technologyâ?¢, Vibration Diffusion Pattern. Whether it is a putter, driver or iron, T2’s VDP Technologyâ?¢ diffuses the vibration produced from the impact of the ball and club head, and it generates a more crisp feel while eliminating excess shock in your hands and joints.
In addition to VDP Technology, the T2 Grips are engineered with Multi-Durometer technology; duromter being the firmness measurement for golf grips. This Multi Durometer Technology is designed to assist golfers in forming the correct grip for a better swing. A higher durometer is featured at the top and a lower durometer is used at the bottom. This composition diminishes the need to squeeze at the upper portion of the grip which drastically reduces overall grip pressure. Reduced grip pressure generates higher swing speeds.
The name Tocare was inspired from the word "touch" in Italian. To maximize the ultimate in touch and feel, the T2 Grip is engineered with a proprietary Dual Compound makeup. These highly specialized materials provide optimum tackiness, enhanced feel and the paramount in all weather playability. The T2 Grip will begin shipping on March 1, 2007. It is available in a variety of colors including black, red, blue, gray, yellow and pink. Standard, putter, mid-size, and undersize/women’s grips will be offered.
"Tocare Grips have been brought into the marketplace because of the tremendous success of Zero Friction Golf Tees," says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Products, Inc. "Their success proved to the company that there is always room in the golf marketplace for products with innovation. All 3 Excel Golf Product brands, Excel Golf Tee, Zero Friction Golf Tee and Tocare Golf Grips, will coexist side by side."
Tocare Grips will formally be launched at the upcoming PGA Merchandise Show. The new T2 Grips will be available for the media and retailers alike to demonstrate at the PGA Demo Day on Wednesday, January 24th from 9:00am – 5:00 pm.
