In the first six months of 2008, 121 players on the PGA, Nationwide, and LPGA tours have put an EyeLine Product into their training. This includes more than 220 items.
This compares to 188 players for all of 2007.
“This is a huge growth and acceptance from the Tour players. We have given them a few new tools this year, and they have continued to trust us for aids that give them the feedback they need to maintain and improve their high level of performance,” says EyeLine CEO Sam Froggatte.
“I’ve been on the Tours for 14 years. I’ve seen several aids come and go. The EyeLine products continue to address what the Pros are working on,” says Ken McDonald, the Tour representative for EyeLine Golf. “Putting is the most critical part of a Tour player’s game, so trusting an aid is serious business.”
“The Tours have taken our products around the globe. The WGC Bridgestone Invitational this week has players from all over the world. Many of the players bring their teachers. They will see EyeLine products in use, and will take them home. It is quite amazing,” says Froggatte with a bit of a smile. “I still remember making them in my garage.”
Is EyeLine the leading training aid company on the Tour? “Probably,” says Froggatte, “but it is more important that we are keeping our promise to the players who trust us to be there for them each week. If we counted all the players from all the years, nearly every Tour player would be on our list. That is not a stat we focus on. We are much more concerned if we are giving them tools that help them improve. If we do this, then our customers will have access to the best equipment on the planet – that gets me excited!”
“The Tour is a great source of ideas and testing. Our customers like to hear stories of how a Tour player is using the same aid they practice with. Tour players are working on the same fundamentals as the amateur. Occasionally, a player will tell me they bought a product online or in a store because they needed it for practice during an off week. That is always satisfying,” says Froggatte.
