ITASCA, IL. – July 25, 2007- Excel Golf Products Inc., 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 the company has named Bob White as their new Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
For the past six years, White has worked diligently for Excel Golf Products. He was pivotal in the launch and development of Zero Friction Golf Tees as well as with their new golf grip line, Tocare Grips. His strong background in sales has been a major contributor to the success of both of these particular products.
"Bob has been instrumental in the forming of Excel Golf Products. His diversified work experience helps out many of our departments. His retail experience was pivotal in the enlisting of potential distributors. He also worked at a large branded golf ball company which is directly reflected in our marketing department," states John Iacono, President and CEO of Excel Golf Products, Inc. "The combination of Bob’s well-rounded background and solid reputation makes Bob a perfect fit for the newly created Vice President position."
According to White, this newly appointed position will provide him an opportunity to grow both branded product divisions, to make decisions that will impact the overall growth of Excel, and to prepare the company for the next level of success.
"I am looking forward to my new role in the company. It allows me to be more influential in the two departments I work with the most," states White.
A Zero Friction Golf Tee has been used to claim over 29 professional tour victories and over 181 Top-10 finishes. The success can be contributed to its unique patented tri-pronged design or three-pronged cup that provides less resistance between the golf ball and the golf tee for longer, straighter drives. Its reduced spin rate fights dispersion, thereby keeping the ball on line and in the fairway.
A new addition for Excel Golf Products is Tocare Golf Grips. The first line is called Tocare Tour, also known as T2, which feature an inner core that diffuses vibration in a similar fashion to that of high end theatres. It’s 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 crisper feel while eliminating excess shock in your hands and joints.
Zero Friction Golf Tees and Tocare Grips are manufactured by Excel Golf Products, Inc. of Itasca, IL, a full-service distributor of wooden golf tees serving the golf industry.
