MusclePharm nutritional supplement, iNSTA-Pro Golf Swing Analyzer
become official sponsors of developmental tour
COLUMBUS, Ohio. – As the Xempt Player Series (XPS) rolls on toward its inaugural season this spring, the developmental series signed its first two corporate sponsors: nutritional supplement MusclePharm and golf training device iNSTA-Pro Golf Swing Analyzer.
The two companies will have a significant presence at all three levels of the XPS (Local, Regional and Championship) in all five regions: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest and West. They will become strategic partners with the XPS, gaining access to the promising golfers competing in the developmental series as well as having the ideal situation to test new products and gain exposure for current products through the XPS.
“This is a big step for the XPS and it is yet another sign that we are on the right path in establishing the XPS as a place where promising golfers get their start,” said Gerry Hammond, the founder and CEO of the XPS. “With MusclePharm and iNSTA-Pro Golf Swing Analyzer aboard as partners for 2011, we have two companies who are at the cutting edge of their respective fields, so this makes them a perfect fit for the XPS.”
Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, MusclePharm is a healthy life-style company that develops and manufactures a full line of National Science Foundation approved nutritional supplements that are 100% free of banned substances.
“We are excited about working with XPS and Gerry Hammond,” said Cory Gregory, MusclePharm co-founder and president. “We believe this is a great way to get our new convenient product Musclegel into the golfers hands who have the most influence in the clubhouses nationwide.”
The iNSTA-Pro Golf Swing Analyzer, the official swing application of the XPS, is a complete video application that allows players to analyze their golf swings on their iPhone or iPad. Golfers shoot video of their swing with their iPhone or iPad, and then review their swing in the app for instant analysis and feedback.
The company’s proprietary Frame Interpolation technology (FIT) gives clear and smooth playback on the portable device that rivals vastly more expensive desktop video teaching systems.
“The iNSTA-Pro Golf Swing Analyzer and Xempt Player Series appeal to golfers who are competitive and results-oriented, making this the prefect match for both our companies,” said Nick Marazita, founder of the iNSTA-Pro Group, the parent of the INSTA-Pro Golf Swing Analyzer. “We feel our users around the world will be very excited about the Xempt Player Series and will take advantage of the local and regional competitions to really test their games. At the same time, we hope the XPS will give our app increased exposure to competitive, serious golfers.”
Designed to provide financial aid to promising golfers as they begin their pro careers, the XPS is open to professional golfers and amateur golfers, 18 and over, with an updated Handicap Index below 4.0. Professionals with active status on the PGA, LPGA, Champions or Nationwide tours before the beginning of the 2011 XPS season are ineligible.
Played on top-tier courses around the country, the XPS consistes of 32 local qualifiers, five regional qualifiers and the XPS Championship.
The winner of the $200,000 XPS Championship receives more than just the $36,000 first-place check. They will also receive a $50,000 stipend that will pay for PGA TOUR Qualifying School fees and a financial cushion that will provide support during their touring season.
On-line Player Registration began Feb. 8. Note that limited positions are available at each Local Qualifier event.
