Monterey, California – Feel Golf Company, Inc., (OTCBB FEEL) announced today that the Company is introducing a new line of wedges and irons for the upcoming 2010 International PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, FL.
Feel Golf, already known for producing one of the best feeling wedges in the golf industry for the past 15 years – designed by PGA Professionals – now blends the latest in advanced materials and technology into a brand new design of its Satin and Gun Metal lines of wedges and irons.
“We had a major break through in our Research and Design Program – improving the feel and performance of our wedges after ~20 years,” said Lee Miller, Chairman & CEO of Feel Golf. “This advance came about as we were working on the new USGA and R&A 2010 groove rules and the effect caused by these new rules. As fellow PGA professionals, we realized to comply with the 2010 groove rules, there could be a fairly significant decrease in the short game ability for all players, but primarily to the recreational golfer. The new 2010 grooves can decrease ball spin and the ability to maintain good ball control and distance – especially from the rough and bunkers.
So to minimize the loss of ball spin and control that is expected to occur due to the new grooves ruling, we’ve had to make some pretty significant changes in our new designs. We changed metal composition, varied our head weight distribution, change production processes and are CNC milling “Micro” lines over the entire face of our new wedges and irons. These conforming changes improve both short game and overall performance by bringing back the majority of ball spin and ball control that is anticipated to be lost with the new grooves ruling.
Ultimately, we believe smaller grooves hurt the typical recreational player far more than the professional Tour player. As PGA Professionals, we always strive to maximize performance and feel and that’s a key benefit to our principal customers – the recreational golfer – Tour player like performance and feel in our equipment to improve their overall performance and enjoyment of the game.
Our retailers and International distributors have already begun placing their 2010 orders prior to the International PGA Show in Orlando, FL, in January 2010 – that’s how significant the impact the new grooves ruling is having – as well as the excitement being generated for the improved performance changes in the design of our new wedges and irons.”
