Newport Beach, CA – Energy Grip, Inc. made its presence known on the PGA Tour this past weekend as they captured their first Top 10 Finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-AM. For most companies introducing a brand new product on the PGA Tour, it can take weeks, even months to find their way into one Tour Player’s bag. Not for Energy Grip! At the AT&T, one of the most highly televised events of the year, Energy Grip found its way into the hands of not one…but 7 PGA Tour players.
The T-9th Place Finisher shot 5 under par and ranked T-3rd for Greens in Regulation for the event, with a 72.2 average, the best of his career. Obviously the new Energy Grips he put into play had a positive impact on his game.
“Its only Week 1 and we had 7 sets of grips in play and captured our first Top 10 Finish,” said Jon Laws, Energy Grip’s PGA Tour Rep, “I’d say we’re off to a pretty good start. The response from the Tour Players to this technology has been absolutely overwhelming. All I can say is stay tuned.”
Patented technology developed at the University of Texas features an innovative, proprietary design that solves the problem of harmful shock and vibration. Strategically placed longitudinal cavities, or “air pockets”, provide a distinct advantage to golfers of all skill levels. The “air pockets” create radial ribs which in turn allow torsion to be isolated providing an unparalleled vibration energy dissipation system. A combination of the outside of the grip or “mass” and the radial ribs, create the dampening mechanism. By placing evenly spaced receptacles in the grip, we have determined that more vibration is released through the system, rather than into a player’s hands or arms. In addition, Energy Grips remain traditional in player “feel” and “feedback”.
