ITASCA, IL. – February 15, 2007 – Excel Golf Products, Inc., manufacturer of the Zero Friction Golf Tee, the "Winningest" high performance golf tee with 27 professional tour victories and over some 165 Top-10 PGA Tour finishes, announced today that a Zero Friction Golf Tee helped a crowd favorite and PGA Professional favorite claim his fourth Top-10 at the Pebble Beach AT&T National Pro-Am.
Pebble Beach is notoriously difficult when the "Crosby" weather arrives. It rains, it’s windy, and can be excruciatingly cold. This weekend proved it was no different. During his third round, our Zero Friction Golf Tee Professional experienced howling wind on the 17th hole and pounding rain by the time he teed up on 18. The astute PGA Professional worked the course with good course management and kept the elements at bay. He shot a -67 under such difficult conditions which eventually led him to another Top-10 finish.
"PGA Professionals use our Zero Friction Golf Tees for different purposes. Some like the added distance and some like the clean strike it provides. This veteran PGA Professional played the Zero Friction 3 ¼-inch to keep his ball on the fairway. Pebble Beach has some arduous rough especially in extreme conditions and he managed to stay away from it," stated Mike Herron, Business Development Manager at Excel Golf Products.
The Zero Friction Golf Tee with its unique three-pronged design significantly reduces the contact area between the golf ball and the tee. At impact, this small degree of contact reduction or resistance results in increased accuracy and distance. In an independent laboratory Zero Friction Golf Tees were proven to be the longest and most accurate tees used on Tour.
The popularity for the Zero Friction Golf Tee continues to grow as does the product line. It is now offered in the original 2 ¾-inch, 3 ¼-inches, the long driver’s favorite 4-inches and now in a shorter 1 ¾-inch version, designed specifically for hybrids. Excel Golf Products offer the same traditional white color but have expanded the Zero Friction line to include an assortment of colors.
Zero Friction Golf Tees are manufactured by Excel Golf Products, Inc. of Itasca, IL a full-service distributor of wooden golf tees serving the golf industry. Its goal is to design and distribute innovative golf products that perform at an affordable price. Recently the company expanded its product offerings to include the first vibration dampening golf grip called Tocare Grips. They will be shipping into the marketplace in spring of 2007.
