Supports Retail Sell-Through with Nationwide Testing That Reveals 7 out of 10 Golfers Prefer This Heavy Putter Line
(RIDGEFIELD, CT) – Boccieri Golf has embarked on a major national advertising campaign supporting retail sell-through of its new Heavy Putter MID-WEIGHT Series by letting consumers know that during recent nationwide testing 7 out of 10 golfers preferred this innovative line over conventionally weighted putters.
Showcasing the features, advantages and benefits of the MID-WEIGHT Series, the ads will appear in several major publications and highly-trafficked websites through the end of 2009, including Golf Digest, GOLF Magazine, Golf World, Sports Illustrated, SI.com, Golf.com and others.
These eye-catching advertisements highlight the extensive consumer testing conducted by Boccieri Golf that showed 7 out of 10 golfers preferred the new MID-WEIGHT over the putter in their bags. With a total weight of 750 grams, the new line is lighter than previous Heavy Putter models yet heavier than traditional offerings.
“Further accelerating already strong sell-through at retail, the new campaign creates a sense of urgency for golfers to try the MID-WEIGHT Series,” says Stephen Boccieri, President and CEO of Boccieri Golf. “These revolutionary putters are sure to replace other brands in golfers’ bags as the proven weighting technology automatically improves consistency of the putting stroke.”
Available in a five classic designs offered in a rich black “PVD” or silver satin finish, the MID-WEIGHT Series features Boccieri Golf’s innovative system of added weight in the head and grip. This causes the body to engage its larger muscles for a consistent swing path, uniform pace, precise distance and directional control, tightening end-over-end golf ball roll.

CX2 – Classic blade design that is face balanced; plumbers-neck hosel with a full shaft offset.
H1/H3 – Medium-size face balanced mallet; high MOI rating for forgiveness on off-center hits. Features a thin face to improve feel at impact; available in both heel (H3) with a double bend with half shaft offset and center-shafted (H1) models with a striking parabola channel alignment aid with a single long site line.
