COLUMBUS, Ga., August, 24, 2010 — Roy Nix, Executive Director of the Association of Golf Clubfitting Professionals (AGCP), the world leader in the advancement of custom clubfitting and clubmaking, is pleased to announce Black Widow Grips will be a new AGCP Convention Sponsor and will be appearing at the AGCP convention for the first time at RT5. This year’s event will be held Wednesday, September 29th through Saturday, October 2nd
… BLACK WIDOW® Grips, the bold and innovative new line of golf grips from Softspikes®, the world’s leading golf cleat brand and the #1 Cleat on Tour, today announced that golf’s hottest new grips will be front and center as the newest sponsor of the Association of Golf Clubfitting Professionals’ (AGCP) 2010 RT5 Education Conference and Convention in Columbus, Ga. Glenn tells us he is looking forward to Association of Golf Clubfitting Professionals’ Members having the opportunity to Test and Sample Black Widow’s Bold, High-Performance Grip Line.
The new BLACK WIDOW® Grips line, which has received rave reviews since debuting at the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show, continues to succeed on both the PGA TOUR and the Nationwide Tour, with top players achieving success with the grips in competition. Created to meet the demands of players at all levels, the BLACK WIDOW® Grips line offers five distinct models: Tour Silk, Widow Maker, Signature, Fusion and Edge, which include either Web Traction Technology or the Softspikes traction inspired interlocking “S” pattern and black widow spider icons, along with bold designs.
“We are thrilled to be a sponsor of the education conference and we look forward to having AGCP members test and sample our innovative new grip line to see just what all the excitement is about,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports.
To further promote the BLACK WIDOW® Grips line, earlier this year Softspikes launched www.bwgrips.com, an interactive website that features a number of insightful pages that educate consumers about golf grips. The new website also features a tutorial on how to properly clean the grips, complete with easy-to-follow photos and tips, and an instructional video that teaches consumers how to properly install their grips.
BLACK WIDOW® Grips are a product of PrideSports, which was formed in January 2003 following Pride Manufacturing Company’s purchase of Softspikes, Inc., and its sister company Trisport, Ltd. of England. This acquisition essentially formed the world’s premier golf accessories company, as Pride and Softspikes are the world’s leading golf tee and golf cleat lines, respectively. Today, PrideSports is the world leader in the design and manufacture of cleats, spikes and receptacles for the entire golf footwear industry.
