Atlanta, GA (January 23, 2008) – C-Thru Grips® has announced that LPGA Tour Professional Christina Kim has agreed to feature the custom grips on her clubs. Kim has been using a custom YES C-Thru Grip on her YES putter and is now working with the C-Thru Grips designer to develop custom grips for her complete set of clubs.
“Christina is an absolutely perfect spokeswoman for C-Thru Grips,” said Kim Rippere, President of C-Thru Grips®. “Our Founder and Tour Rep, Mickey Novak, has been working with her for months and has been an important connection for us with professional players.”
Kim has recorded two LPGA Tour victories and four LPGA holes-in-one. Her fashion-forward style makes her an ideal addition to the C-Thru Grip Tour Crew.
"It is exciting to be attracting so many diverse players from all professional golf tours who are putting C-Thru Grips in their bags,” said Michael Keaveny, Vice President of Sales for C-Thru Grips. “The passion that these players exhibit, whether about their respective alma maters, their favorite sports teams, or being able to personalize their grips, makes C-Thru Grips a true viable alternative to conventional golf grips."
C-Thru Grips has produced clear, tour-quality, USGA-conforming putter grips featuring stock and customized designs since 2001. The product line features three putter grips and seven full swing grips. C-Thru Grips has had 49 wins on the PGA, Champions, LPGA and European Tours since 2002 by players carrying C-Thru Grips, with twelve wins in 2007 and this one in 2008. Whether it’s football, baseball, hockey, collegiate sports, a personal photo or name, company logo or country flag, C-Thru Grips has hundreds of label designs with eye-catching graphics to suit enthusiasts of every kind.
In addition to Christina Kim, C-Thru Grips is preferred by international Tour players John Cook, Jerry Kelly, Matt Kuchar, Jay Haas, Joey Sindelar, Danielle Ammaccapane, Maria Hjorth and others.
Recently, C-Thru Grips became a sponsor and benefits provider for the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA). The agreement will provide C-Thru putter grips for all Executive level EWGA members, plus promotional opportunities at the 2008EWGA at the U.S. Women’s Open charity event and the 2008 EWGA Championship Finals.
