Ultra Slim 1.0 finishes 2nd at Firestone Country Club, Mid Slim 2.0 leads field in Strokes Gained-Putting
WIXOM, Mich. – With the help of SuperStroke’s Mid Slim 2.0 grip, the winner of the professional tour event in Hayward, California carded a 22-under-258 (67-62-63-66) to win by three strokes for his first tour win. He used SuperStroke’s patented parallel technology to finish the tournament ranked 9th in Putts Per Greens In Regulation with a 1.661 average. He also ranks 8th on the tour in Putting Average with a 1.723. With the first place check from the Stonebrae TPC event, he catapulted from No. 24 to No. 8 on the tour’s Money List.
At the professional tour event in Akron, Ohio, where the top players in the world from the Official World Golf Ranking faced off, the second place finisher played SuperStroke’s Slim 1.0 and finished the tournament ranked 10th in Strokes Gained-Putting with a 1.083. Since its introduction to the tour in 2011, the Strokes Gained-Putting statistic is believed by many to be the most accurate, meaningful way to present player putting efficiency.
Using SuperStroke’s Slim 2.0 at the Firestone Country Club, a player tied for 15th led the field in Strokes Gained-Putting with a 1.962 and finished the tournament ranked 3rd in Putts Per GIR with a 1.622 average. Another player tied for 15th place played SuperStroke’s Slim 3.0 and finished the event ranked 6th in Putts Per GIR with a 1.641 average and was 9th in Strokes Gained-Putting with a 1.124.
“The Mid Slim 2.0, which has become one of our most popular grips this season, came from tour players requesting a size between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the overall tour favorite Slim 3.0,” said Jon Luna, SuperStroke USA Marketing Director. “The Mid Slim 2.0 is currently in-play on every major professional golf tour worldwide.”
