ITASCA, IL. – July 11, 2007- Excel Golf Products, manufacturer of the Zero Friction Golf Tee, the "Winningest" performance golf tee on the PGA Tour and of the Tocare Tour Grip, the first grip to feature a Vibration Diffusion Patternâ?¢, announced today that company attained its 185th Top-10 finish at the notable AT&T National tournament.
The Zero Friction Biodegradable is a favorite amongst PGA Tour Professionals but this past weekend at the Congressional Country Club it was the Zero Friction Hardwood that seized the seventh Top-10 finish for a PGA Tour fan favorite. With an unorthodox swing and a Zero Friction Hardwood, this PGA Professional shot a 66, 74, 68, and a 69 on the final round to finish six strokes from the winner K.J. Choi.
"The Zero Friction Hardwood is gaining ground on its predecessor the Biodegradable out on tour. Its concept yet similar, less resistance for more accuracy and distance, is consistent with the Zero Friction Golf Tee line but appeals to a more traditional golfer," states Bob White, Director of Sales at Excel Golf Products, Inc. "In fact, this past weekend its conventional styling with increased accuracy caught the eye of a famed PGA Professional who played with it and loved it. He not only shared third place with Pat Perez and Stuart Appleby, it placed him 7th on the Fed Ex. ranking. We are thrilled for him."
The Zero Friction Hardwood Tees are made from an exotic hardwood and feature a premium natural finish. While the cup surface is 30% smaller than usual golf tees, the results are greater. The reduced feature produces a cleaner, more accurate strike which equates longer and more accurate drives.
The Zero Friction Hardwood is available in two heights, the 2 ¾-inch and the 3¼-inch. The 2 ¾-inch Harwood is available in 50-pack units and sells specifically at retail for $4.99. For the on-course retailer, a 16-pack is available for $1.99. The 3 ¼-inch is available in specific retail 35-pack units and sell for $4.99.
"In addition to the third place finish at the AT&T, Zero Friction Biodegradable Tees were used to clinch two twelfth place finishes," adds White.
A Zero Friction Golf Tee has been used to claim over 30 professional tour victories and over 185 Top-10 finishes. Because of its success the popularity for the Zero Friction Golf Tee continues to grow as does the product line. In addition to the Hardwood, it is now offered in the original Biodegradable 2 ¾-inch, 3 ¼-inches, the long driver’s favorite 4-inch, and coming in the late summer, a shorter 1 ¾-inch version, designed specifically for hybrids.
