Uniquely Designed Tool Is First To Mark Both Sides Of A Golf Ball; Features Putter Squareness Line, As Well As Swing Path Reminder Line To Help Promote A Proper Swing Path
Brentwood, Tennessee, February 18, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® cleats, the #1 Cleat brand on TOUR, today debuted the “first-of-its-kind” Softspikes® Golf Ball Alignment Tool™, the only tool that marks both sides of the ball, while offering unique features to promote proper swing techniques.
As the first alignment tool to mark both sides of a golf ball, the Softspikes® Golf Ball Alignment Tool™ incorporates a proprietary spring mechanism into the design which holds the ball in place and enables golfers to easily mark each side without having to re-position the tool. Additional highlights of the Softspikes Golf Ball Alignment Tool include a new putter squareness line developed to enable golfers to keep the putter face square through impact. This is complemented by a swing path reminder line that helps promote a proper swing path. In addition to the marking lines, the Softspikes Golf Ball Alignment Tool is uniquely designed to securely hold a Sharpie Mini marker, while easily clipping onto a golf bag for easy access on the course.
“Golf ball marking has become an important technique for golfers at all levels, and the Softspikes Golf Ball Alignment Tool is the first to provide a breadth of features that can enhance a golfer’s game,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “Not only is this tool the first to mark both sides of a golf ball, which is a huge benefit to golfers, but we’ve created marking lines for putting and swing path, which is a further asset out on the course.”
Zeller adds, “In keeping with PrideSports mission, we’ve added creative design to a simple, yet important golf accessory, while making the product easy to use and quickly accessible on the course. We expect golfers will find this tool to be a huge benefit to their golf game.”
Available at retail outlets nationwide in spring 2009, the Softspikes Golf Ball Alignment Tool comes in a blister pack that includes a Sharpie Mini and a free PTS Offset Tee™, the Company’s latest innovation in alternative golf tees, with a Suggested Retail Price of $6.99.
