Sanford, FL – RIFE Putters (www.rifeputters.com) / Innovex Golf (www.innovexgolf.com) announced this week the hire of John Anton Bergquist as their VP of Engineering & Design. John was formerly the Chief Golf Developer at STX GOLF. He engineered all of the SYNC series and fully machined X Form putter lines for STX GOLF for 2012.
John is a native of Seattle and his background is heavily rooted in metal processing and streamline manufacturing. He combines forces with RIFE Putters / Innovex Golf, to strengthen this already flourishing company and help continue its growth. He will direct all new Product Development and Marketing efforts.
“Yeah, it rains about half the year in the Northwest, said Bergquist. “I look at this as a positive…while everyone else around the country is playing golf; we’re inside developing the products they’re playing with.”
Look for fresh innovation and clean design set to be introduced early this summer from these two companies.
About RIFE Putters
RIFE’s new line of putters for 2012 include its award winning Island Series models: the Abaco, Aruba, Barbados, Cayman Brac and Trinidad, which are all recent recipients of a Golf Digest Hot List Award. All of these Island Series putters are available in either a Standard Silver Finish or in RIFE’s brand new Tropical Finish. This Tropical Finish is created by using a vacuum “Ti” plating process” on the head of the putter. A broad spectrum of colors emanate from this deep rich gunmetal like finish creating a “rainbow effect” depending upon how the light hits it. The new finish has other benefits aside from its eye-catching appearance. The finish prevents oxidization, increases hardness and makes the putter very wear-resistant.
About Innovex Golf
Innovex Golf started out with one goal in mind – to design the holy grail of golf balls. After launching their new V-Motion Tour and E-Motion Tour golf balls, it became quickly apparent that they had achieved their goal. With the V-Motion and E-Motion golf balls from Innovex Golf, Extreme Performance meets Extreme Value.
The V-Motion Tour is a 3-piece premium ball designed for golfers who demand Tour Level performance and playability. It has a cast urethane cover for high spin along with a compensating speed core for distance. It is built to compete with the best golf balls on the market and it does. The V-Motion received a 2011 Golf Digest Hot List Award including 4 stars in the Performance and Innovation categories. The target audience of the V-motion is lower handicap golfers looking to improve their game and to reduce their costs as well as mid handicap golfers who want a better ball at a mid-price point.
The E-Motion Tour is a 3-piece surlyn performance ball, designed with a Progressive Motion Dual Core to fly farther, spin faster, and feel softer all while offering great durability. The proprietary Aeroblend Cover features Aerocontrol parallel dimple dividers that smooth airflow for increased flight distance and stability while roll promoting dimples enhance putter feel and confidence. Innovex Golf’s engineering team has designed this ball to be the best ball for all weather conditions and to offer you a tour caliber ball with excellent durability.
