Patented, Tour-Proven Design Shown to Improve Distance and Accuracy
(Sunset Beach, NC) – Evolve Golf confirms recent independent testing conducted at both GolfTest USA and Golf Laboratories showed the company’s patented, Tour-proven Epoch performance tee provides significantly greater total distance and accuracy than competing products.
Featuring a robot and players with a wide variety of handicaps and swing speeds, these are the latest in a series of tests to support the distinct advantages golfers of all abilities can gain by using the Epoch.
Using a launch monitor, GolfTest USA compared the Epoch to a three-post composite tee, an offset composite tee and a traditional wooden tee. According to the data acquired from 20 male and female golfers hitting multiple shots with each tee, the Epoch proved on average to be:
• 11.6 yards longer and 1.6 yards more accurate than the three-post composite tee
• 9.0 yards longer and 4.7 yards more accurate than the traditional wooden tee
• 7.3 yards longer and 2.2 yards more accurate than the offset composite tee
Those results were mirrored by Golf Laboratories, which conducted its tests at a swing speed of 95 mph using a robot and launch monitor in a controlled test environment. Under these conditions, the Epoch was shown to be:
• 1.8 yards longer and 2.0 yards more accurate than the three-post composite tee
• 5.8 yards longer and 2.7 yards more accurate than the traditional wooden tee
• 3.4 yards longer and 3.0 yards more accurate than the offset composite tee
“The test results go hand-in-hand with the fact that so many of the world’s best players trust the Epoch’s performance advantages to help them win on Tour,” says BJ Maloy, Founder and CEO of Evolve Golf. “When the variability of each golfer’s swing is evaluated, golf tee design flaws become blatantly evident. Whether it’s a test featuring a robot in controlled conditions or average men and women swinging away, our tees are quite literally outpacing the competition.”
Since its 2004 debut, the Epoch has been part of 127 major Tour wins, including 48 PGA Tour victories. Used weekly by scores of PGA Tour players it 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.
Like all Evolve Golf products and packaging, the Epoch is environmentally friendly. Made from recycled materials, the design is significantly more durable than its wooden counterparts and not harmful to mower blades.
In early 2010, Evolve Golf introduced the Epoch-S3, featuring the same innovative and durable design that has made the original Epoch the most popular performance tee on the PGA Tour. It incorporates the company’s groundbreaking Sweet Spot System, a proprietary internet application that takes the guess work out of consistently teeing at the proper height by aligning the ball with the driver’s “sweet spot,” assuring optimum distance on every drive. Players simply enter a make and model of driver and the recommended depth of insertion is displayed, which coincides with markings on the tee stem.
