Feel Golf announces since releasing its new – "Pro Releaseâ?¢" Performance reverse taper performance grip in September to select retailers, sales have been brisk with good customer acceptance and sell through.
Samples of the new grip will be available to qualified accounts at the 2008 Orlando PGA show in booth 1196.
The "Pro Release" will begin shipping on a limited basis to other retailers in February 2008. Orders taken at the PGA show have a 10% early bird discount.
The "Pro Release" keeps the same features and benefits of their very popular – and patented Full Releaseâ?¢ grip line. This slightly different design came from select Tour Players input who tested the prototype throughout Europe and the US during the 2006 & 2007 Tour seasons.
Feel Golf’s CEO & PGA Member, Lee Miller, said, "The Tour Players came back to us and said they wanted a few more options with respect to the shaft end of the grip. They love the smaller diameter at the top of our Full Releaseâ?¢ grip – that’s just a better design and keeps it in the fingers for a faster and more consistent release at impact. The only change they wanted was on the shaft end to be a little bit thinner as well. This design change gives the flexibility to build up the shaft end for their unique grip preferences, thereby providing more finger tip short game control and feedback."
Made of the finest natural rubber materials in the X-Line style, the "Pro Release"â?¢ Performance grip delivers outstanding feel with a more natural finger grip that contributes to a full release through impact. This helps prevent hand blocks that can sometimes hamper the better players resulting in an errant shot. "Blocked hands at impact are one of the worse things that can happen to a professional golfer during tournament play," said Miller. "Just look at a TV swing analysis of a Tour Player on any given weekend – an errant shot is generally the result of a hand block and/or tension. Using the Pro Releaseâ?¢ Performance grip better allows the way your hands move through the ball at impact for better control and is simply, more comfortable, thereby reducing known or unknown tension. This is the feedback we have been receiving from the Tour Players."
The new "Pro Release"â?¢ Performance grip is designed to provide better grip performance for Professionals and low handicap amateur golfers. In addition, due to the new grip’s smaller diameter, smaller hand players such as juniors will also benefit from its design. The "Pro Release" â?¢ Performance grip has been available since September 2007.
"The Full Releaseâ?¢" Performance grip has been called,
"The greatest change to golf in the last 100 years" by a major golfing publication
Over 4.5 out of 5 golfers validated enhanced performance and satisfaction approval as tested by PGA Tour Partners.
Recently, Feel Golf’s Full Releaseâ?¢ Performance grip was named the Official Grip of the United States Schools of Golf (USSOG). "We believe Feel Golf’s Reverse Taper – Full Releaseâ?¢ Performance Grip provides golfers of all skill levels worldwide a better way to hold the golf club and promotes better shot making – whether off the tee or approaching the green," stated Mitchell A Crum, President of the USSOG.
