Accelerated Global Expansion of Company’s Popular, Environmentally-Friendly Products
Ocean Isle, NC June 29, 2009 – Evolve Golf, Inc.
News Summary
Evolve Golf – maker of the No. 1 performance golf tee on Tour – confirms the rapid global expansion of its popular, environmentally-friendly tees, which are now available in 25 markets worldwide.
International demand for the company’s products – specifically the Epoch and Vireo-S3 models – has led to distribution in Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. This growing trend of consumers, top clubs and retailers turning to Evolve has been driven in part by professionals capturing 112 victories with the tees, including 37 PGA Tour titles.
Unlike any other tee on the market, the Epoch features radius posts that span the width of a golf ball dimple. This unique feature creates a lower coefficient of friction than its competitors, eliminating deflection at impact and increasing ball speed and control. It 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 nine yards accuracy.
Featuring a wider, deeper cup, The Vireo-S3 is more stable than traditional wood offerings. It is also the first Evolve Golf product to incorporate the company’s groundbreaking marking system and coinciding proprietary Internet application – The Sweet Spot System – showing the proper tee height for consistent alignment between the golf ball and driver’s “sweet spot,” promoting increased distance and accuracy.
Quotes
“Globally, we are witnessing a dramatic transition away from wooden golf tees and toward our durable and eco-friendly offerings,” says BJ Maloy, CEO of Evolve Golf. “Facilities need ways to enhance their bottom line, and consumers look for methods to improve their scores. Our sustainable product line is the only thing on the market that meets the demand for both.”
Praise for Evolve tees has come from as far away as Asia, where Iwao Onoue, President of Create Products in Japan stated, “With its success on the PGA Tour, the Epoch established the performance golf tee category, creating a profitable new revenue channel for our retail customers.”
Closer to home, Gord German, President of Canadian distributor G&G Golf Company, added, “Evolve Golf’s tees are taking a firm hold as courses and retailers move away from wooden offerings toward higher performing, more resilient options.”
