Atlanta, GA (August 21, 2007) – C-Thru Grips® has partnered with Be The Ball to produce and distribute the 15 Be The Ball® characters for C-Thru Grips® putter and full-swing grips. C-Thru Grips® and Be The Ball® will be participating in the PGA Fall Expo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas September 11-12 through the Be The Ball® booth, and the ING Hospitality Room (South Pacific Room D).
"We initially met with Be The Ball® at the US Women’s Open in Pinehurst," said Kim Rippere, President of C-Thru Grips®. "We feel this is a great fit for us with our new focus on women and everyone having fun and expressing their individuality through golf. For example, if you have confidence in your game, then choose ‘You Da Man,’ ‘Birdie,’ ‘Greenie,’ or ‘Long Ball.’ Or you can acknowledge your shortcomings on the course with ‘Beach,’ ‘Wet,’ Triple Bogey’, ‘Mulligan,’ ‘Lost Ball,’ Out of Bounds,’ ‘Drop ’em’ or the dreaded ‘Three Putt.’ Everyone will find a character that fits their golf personality!" Kim uses ‘Triple Bogey.’
Through this partnering, Rippere has also been asked to join the Board (as a Special Advisor) of the newly-formed 501 C-3 Be The Ball Foundation. The mission of the Be The Ball Foundation is to promote youth fitness through participation in all ball sports and raise awareness about the importance of proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle for young people. The foundation is chaired by Bob Delaney, well known NBA official.
C-Thru Grips® produces clear, tour-quality, USGA conforming golf grips featuring stock and custom designs. Since 2001, C-Thru Grips® has specialized in both putter and full-swing high-performance grips. C-Thru Grips® offers a wide array of slogans, country flags, and collegiate logos and is also the official distributor of pro team golf grips through McArthur Towel and Sports, Inc.
