Orlando, FL – STINGR Solutions LLC announced today their participation and plans to introduce the patent-pending GRIP2 Golf Umbrella at the international golf industry’s premier marketplace, the 2009 PGA Merchandise Show, January 29-31, 2009, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. They will be located in the Golf Products section of the Show floor in booth number 3034.
STINGR’s patent-pending GRIP2 Golf Umbrella, which features a secondary, movable grip, enables the user to position this ergonomic grip anywhere along the shaft and lock it in place for improved comfort, convenience and control in wind and rain. Locating the secondary grip higher up the shaft makes it easier to stabilize the umbrella with less strain on the hand and arm, particularly in gusty winds. The initial GRIP2 umbrella has the following features: movable, secondary grip; wind-resistant vented canopy (capable of withstanding 60mph winds); 64-inch canopy (arc length); fiberglass shaft and ribs; pinchless runner; matching primary and secondary grip shape and color. STINGR plans to sell GRIP2 umbrellas through distributors.
“We are very pleased to introduce the GRIP2 Golf Umbrella,” said Dan O’Donnell, President and founder of STINGR Solutions LLC. “We see a need for a high-performance golf umbrella that provides maximum comfort, convenience and control in unfavorable weather conditions. All too often, golfers grab the umbrella shaft to gain better control of the umbrella, but that does not provide a good enough grip. GRIP2 enables the golfer to grab control and stay drier, and also makes it easier to keep the club grip and golf glove dry at the same time.”
