ITASCA, IL. – April 1, 2007 – Excel Golf Products, Inc., manufacturer of the Zero Friction Golf Tee, the "Winningest" high performance golf tee, announced today that the company has exceeded over 170 Top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour. Last weekend in Humble, Texas two PGA Touring Professionals played a Zero Friction Golf Tee to finish 4th and 5th at the Shell Houston Open.
"The success we’ve experienced on Tour with the Zero Friction Golf Tee still amazes us. Last week we enjoyed a 6th place finish at Doral and now, another two Top-10 finishes," states Mike Herron, Business Development Manager at Excel Golf Products. "This week is pretty special as one of these PGA Professionals had to qualify on Monday to play and he wrapping up the week with one of his largest paychecks ever."
Zero Friction Golf Tees have been used to capture 29 professional tour victories. This success is contributed to the engineering of these high performance tees. Both the Zero Fiction Biodegradable Golf Tee with its unique three-pronged design and Zero Friction Hardwood Golf Tee with its smaller cup size reduce the contact area between the golf ball and the tee. This simple yet effective design produces longer and more accurate drives. In an independent laboratory Zero Friction Golf Tees were proven to be the longest and most accurate tees used on Tour.
The conventionally styled Zero Friction Hardwood has a loyal golfing group. It’s exquisite and exotic wood combined with the 30% smaller cup is enjoyed by true traditionalists.
At the Shell Houston Open it was played to shoot an impressive -68,-71,-70, and -66 on the Redstone Golf Club Tournament Course for a total of 275.
"The Zero Friction Golf Tee line continues to grow in popularity domestically but also internationally. We’re currently the top used tee on the Women Tour in Japan and is used by the European LDA players," adds Herron.
As the demand for Zero Friction Golf Tees increase so will the product line. The Zero Friction Hardwood is now available to retail in units of 50 and 16. The new Zero Friction Hardwood 16 pack will be displayed next to the Zero Friction Biodegradable 2 ¾-inch 16 pack.
In addition to the original Zero Friction Biodegradable 2 ¾-inch, a 3 ¼-inch, a 4-inch (the long driver’s favorite) and a shorter 1 ¾-inch version, designed specifically for hybrids are all available.
Excel Golf Products offer the same traditional white color but have expanded the Zero Friction line to include an assortment of colors. The new multicolored Zero Friction Golf Tees are currently available at retail. The initial orders shipped are in black and in pink. Black as a neutral color worked well with the original yellow packaging so they are sold in the same branded package. A vibrant pink and white Zero Friction Golf Tee package was designed to complement the intensity of the new pink tee. To complete the Zero Friction Golf Tee line-up, Excel Golf Products developed both red and blue patriotic colors.
