Ocean Isle, NC May, 05 2009 – Evolve Golf, Inc.
News Summary
Evolve Golf – maker of the No. 1 performance golf tee on Tour – confirms three top-5 finishers at the PGA Tour’s Quail Hollow Championship relied on its patented Epoch tee.
The Epoch golf tee has won 111 times on the major tours since its 2004 debut, including 36 wins on the PGA Tour.
The Epoch is the only performance tee with radius posts that span the width of a golf ball dimple. This unique feature creates the lowest coefficient of friction of any tee, eliminating deflection at impact and increasing ball speed and control off the tee.
The Epoch has been scientifically proven via a series of rigorous independent robotic tests combined with extensive player testing to provide improvements of up to 12 yards distance and 9 yards accuracy.
In addition to its performance advantages, Epoch – like all Evolve Golf products – is completely sustainable. Made entirely from recycled and renewable materials, the mower-friendly design is ten times more durable than a wooden tee.
