ITASCA, IL. – January 9, 2007 — Excel Golf Tee, Inc., manufacturer of the Zero Friction Golf Tee, the "Winningest" high performance golf tee, announced today that the company has been renamed Excel Golf Products to reflect their new 2007 product introductions.
Excel Golf Tee, Inc. is a subsidiary of Excel Dowel and Wood Products, an industry leader for over a decade in the dowel pin and wood products industries. Their entry into wooden golf tees was a natural transition from wooden dowels. Both companies are eminent in their respective fields. Their dominance, direction, and dedication come from an executive team whose entrepreneurial spirit and business savvy make things happen.
Excel Dowel and Wood Products ventured beyond the wooden tee business and invested in a biodegradable three-pronged PGA Tour Tee wonder in the Zero Friction Golf Tee. The company vision catapulted Zero Friction Golf Tees as the fastest growing golf tee on the market and on the PGA Tour. The Zero Friction Golf Tee has experienced over 21 professional tour victories, over 160 Top-10 finishes and all within two seasons.
The company and its passion for excellence and innovative technology have inspired the team to expand its product line and move into the grip category. Named after the Italian inspiration for touch, Tocare’ Grips, with their VDP Technologyâ?¢ is the new division under Excel Golf Products.
The Tocare Tour Grip, T2, utilizes similar technology as heard in the theatre. To diffuse or absorb bass frequencies the theatre walls are covered with diffusion patterns. The T2 at its inner core has been engineered with a patent-pending diamond pattern which creates Tocare’s VDP Technology, Vibration Diffusion Pattern.
When a club head makes contact with a ball, the VDP Technology, diffuses the vibration and generates a purer or cleaner feel, whether it is a putter, driver, or iron.
"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 Tee, Inc. "Their success proved to the company that there is always room in the golf marketplace for products with innovation. Zero Friction Golf Tee retailers are loyal and have already begun placing orders. The two brands will coexist side by side."
Zero Friction Golf Tees and Tocare 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.
During the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show, Zero Friction Golf Tees and Tocare Grips can be reviewed from Thursday, January 25th through Saturday, January 27th at booth #2703 in the Orange County Convention Center. Both products will be showcased at the New Products Center.
Zero Friction Golf Tees and Tocare Grips are manufactured by Excel Golf Products of Itasca, IL, a company who has proven itself as a leader in the wooden dowel business, golf tee industry, and now in the golf grip category.
