SAN DIEGO, CA – March 6, 2008 – SKLZ, the industry leader in sports skill development products and equipment, today announced the top two finishers at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida regularly use the SKLZ Power Sleeve in practice and during pre-round warm-ups. As an integral part of the company’s line of Rick Smith Signature Series golf training aids, the Power Sleeve is a portable club weight that can turn any club into a weighted club.
“Since its introduction, the Power Sleeve has been very well received by the players on all three tours and we’re excited that the first and second place finishers at the Honda Classic see the value of warming up with this unique and effective product,” said Tom Quinn, President, SKLZ. "The Power Sleeve is ideal for dialing in good tempo during warm-ups, so it’s not surprising that the top two finishers use it because great swing tempo is a trademark for both of them.”
The first place finisher ended a three-year drought by shooting a six-under-par 274 and winning $990,000. The victory propelled him from No. 182 to No. 11 on the season points list. The second place finisher was one stroke behind, and claimed $594,000 in winnings. His finish moved him up 17 points to No. 14 on the points list.
The SKLZ Power Sleeve is a weighted (9.5 oz.) sleeve that fits on the shaft of any club in your bag and helps improve tempo, timing, distance, strength and accuracy. Some of the best professional golfers in the U.S. and Europe are now using the Power Sleeve to fine tune their swing with every club they have in their bag.
This easy-to-use weighted sleeve allows you to loosen up before your round, improve tempo, increase distance, and build golf muscle strength and flexibility. The beauty of the Power Sleeve is that you can use it with your own clubs and hit balls with it to identify and fix swing flaws. And not to worry, the easy on and off sleeve won’t scratch your shafts.
The suggested retail price for the Power Sleeve is $29.99. To find out more about the product or to view an instructional video, visit www.sklz.com.
