LAURINBURG, N.C. … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation announced today that according to the authoritative 2008 Darrell Survey results, the majority of golfers who played in the Buick Invitational depended on Golf Pride® grips.
Golf Pride grips were used by 83.3 percent of all pros who played in the tournament held at Torrey Pines in San Diego on January 24 – 27. In fact, nine of the top 10 finishers used Golf Pride grips to play their best on the future site of the 2008 U.S. Open.
“The grip is one of the most important components in golf. It is the point at which power is transferred from golfer to club,” said Jeff Fiorini, general manager for Eaton’s Golf Grip Division. “Given the demanding and varying weather conditions at Torrey Pines in January, we’re excited to see that so many professionals in this event relied on Golf Pride grips for maximum performance and control.”
Eaton’s Golf Grip Division is the world’s largest manufacturer of golf grips, with manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities on five continents.
