SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced that Golf Pride® grips accounted for four spots on the 2010 Golf Digest Grips Hot List, which ranks the top ten current golf grips on the market. Golfers with handicaps ranging from scratch to 15 ranked the playability and feel of 52 grips, and the New Decade® MultiCompound, Tour Velvet® BCT™ Cord, DD2®, and Tour Wrap® 2G™ all made the cut.
“We are proud that the results of the recent Golf Digest study reflect Golf Pride’s leadership in the golf grip category,” said Dan Koehler, director of sales and marketing for Eaton’s Golf Grip Division. “And because grips are increasingly being recognized for their importance as performance equipment, the fact that Golf Pride had more models in the top ten than any other brand reflects the commitment to performance and quality that defines our product.”
In the November 2010 issue currently on newsstands, Golf Digest gave a total of four gold and six silver awards as part of the 2010 Grips Hot List. Golf Pride secured a gold award for the New Decade MultiCompound. The ultimate in form and function, the New Decade MultiCompound fuses high-performance rubber in the lower hand section of the grip with velvet cord in the upper hand section for outstanding comfort and moisture management. Golf Pride also secured three silver awards for the Tour Velvet BCT Cord, DD2, and Tour Wrap 2G.
