WIXOM, Mich. – SuperStroke, innovators of the #1 selling, oversized putter grips, has hit another major milestone announcing the addition of short game and putting guru Dave Stockton Sr. to the company’s team.
Stockton, well known for his putting prowess since joining the PGA Tour in 1964, has 25 career wins including five Majors – two PGA Championships, two Senior Player Championships and a U.S. Senior Open Championship. Stockton will serve as a product development consultant for SuperStroke.
“Dave Stockton is one of the pre-eminent putting instructors in golf,” said Dean Dingman, President SuperStroke Golf. “His own experience as a player, as well as his feedback from the best tour players in the world, are going to be key in helping us develop some cutting-edge concepts and designs for future club and putter grips.”
Stockton captained the victorious Ryder Cup team at Kiawah Island in 1991, and was assistant captain to Paul Azinger, when the U.S. Ryder Cup team won at Valhalla Country Club in Kentucky in 2008.
In 2009 Stockton joined his sons Ron, a 25-year teaching professional; and Dave Jr., a 10-year tour veteran, and formed Stockton Golf. The teaching enterprise is unmatched in short game success contributing to more than 60 tour wins across the globe.
“SuperStroke’s parallel grips provide a unique feel for golfers of any level,” said Dave Stockton Sr. “The different sizes make this an outstanding product for pros and amateurs alike. They help to evenly distribute grip pressure in a player’s hands resulting in a more consistent stroke.”
SuperStroke (www.superstrokeusa.com) recently released its Midnight Series featuring darker grip colors. The oversized grips are long lasting and extremely shock absorbent and are designed with a high-tech polyurethane material featuring cross traction technology that improves feel and tackiness.
