PGA Tour Notes
• Five SuperStroke putter grips were in play at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, making SuperStroke the #1 most played jumbo putter grip at the event and in every PGA Tour event of the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
• So far in 2011, 11 different PGA Tour players have put a SuperStroke or Tiger Shark oversized putter grip into play, including SuperStroke staff professionals KJ Choi and Matt Bettencourt. The current list of 2011 players using a SuperStroke or Tiger Shark jumbo grip account for 47 PGA Tour wins and 4 major championships.
• An 8-time PGA Tour winner and former Masters champion played a Bruce Sizemore designed putter at Pebble Beach. SuperStroke Golf announced renowned putter designer Bruce Sizemore as Director of Product Development last August. Sizemore will design and produce ultra-premium USA milled precision putting instruments under the SuperStroke Golf brand. The new Bruce Sizemore putter series, due out in April, will feature a never-before-seen Diamond Cut Face (DCF Technology.) The face grooves are precision-cut with diamond coated machining tools and combined with an exotic Diamond finish to help increase friction between the insert and the golf ball. Since 2000, Sizemore putters have been put into play by 40 players on the PGA Tour.
