Patented design’s proven counterweighting technology helps all players Ì¢?å¬achieve superior consistency, control and distance
(SCOTTSDALE, AZ) – Boccieri Golf – maker of award-wining equipment such as the Tour-proven Heavy Putter – announces that in partnership with Jack Nicklaus it will showcase its new Secret Grip at Booth 391 during the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show, January 24-26 in Orlando.
A patented technological breakthrough, the Secret Grip allows players to easily back-weight their clubs as Nicklaus did throughout his legendary career. Its heavier weight raises the club’s balance point, promoting consistent contact, greater control and more distance. This is achieved via a tungsten weight in the butt-end, combined with a compound 40-percent heavier than is typically used in standard grips.
The new offering will be available for testing on Wednesday, January 23, at Orange County National Golf Club during the PGA Show Demo Day and at the Equipment Testing Center (ETC 45-46) during the main show. One FREE Secret Grip will be given to any participant who tests it and compares results to clubs outfitted with a standard grip.
“We unveiled prototypes to critical acclaim in 2012, but an improved design born from extensive research has been tested and proven to help all players maximize performance,” says Stephen Boccieri, President and CEO of Boccieri Golf. “Now Jack’s secret, the counterweighted equipment which helped him win 18 major championships and 73 PGA Tour titles, is available for all golfers to benefit from.”
The Secret Grip is designed to be installed quickly and affordably on every manufacturer’s clubs, ensuring users can continue to play their favorite brand. This partnership represents the first time in nearly two decades that Nicklaus has given his endorsement to equipment not under the Nicklaus Golf banner. Beginning in March, the Secret Grip will be available at Dicks and Golf Galaxy retailers nationwide.
Recent consumer launch-monitor testing of more than 500 players showed 95 percent reported a strong preference for the Secret Grip versus traditional grips.
Further advantages of the Secret Grip ($16.99 each) include:
Total length one-inch longer than standard, allowing players to grip-down for improved play around the green or on uneven lies
A built-up lower section-often preferred by PGA Tour players-completely removes the need for additional grip tape wrapping

It will soon be offered at leading retailers nationwide.
