WIXOM, Mich. – The winner of the season’s final two tour playoff events and the overall championship title putted like a man possessed with the help of SuperStroke’s Flatso Ultra putting grip. He shot a record 12 consecutive rounds in the 60s including all four in the final event (66-66-69-68) and amassed more than $13 million in winnings in the process.
He finished the tournament at East Lake ranked 6th in Strokes Gained-Putting with a total of .815 strokes gained. He was 6th in Putts Per Greens in Regulation with a 1.737 average. The Strokes Gained-Putting statistic was introduced to the tour in 2011 and has been viewed by players and experts alike as the most accurate, meaningful way to portray player putting efficiency.
At the Cherry Hills Village tournament a week earlier, he dominated the field in putting finishing with a total of 11.902 Strokes Gained-Putting, gaining an average of three strokes per round while not missing a putt within five feet during that tournament. Two weeks prior, at the tournament in Norton, Massachusetts, he finished with a total of 3.805 Strokes Gained-Putting.
“To win the final two playoff events of the season, and capture the overall tour title is simply incredible and a strong testament to our patented parallel technology,” said Dean Dingman, President SuperStroke Golf. “The men and women of SuperStroke work hard to provide quality products that we know can help make any putter better. It’s just great to see everyone’s hard work and determination pay off on golf’s biggest stage.”
The Flatso Ultra is one of three grips in SuperStroke’s Flatso line that features the company’s patented parallel technology and a new patent pending pentagonal shape with a flat top design. The parallel technology allows for even pressure in both hands, while eliminating added tension in the wrist and forearms. This unique design helps the golfer’s arms swing more freely, which further enhances a pendulum-putting stroke.
“The characteristics of the Flatso line help inhibit wrist action and promote shoulder rotation for added consistency in your putting stroke,” said Jon Luna, SuperStroke USA Marketing Director. “The pentagonal shape allows players looking for the feel of a pistol grip option in the SuperStroke line.”
SuperStroke, the leading oversized grip company on tour, (www.superstrokeusa.com) makes grips that are long lasting and extremely shock absorbent. They are designed with a high-tech polyurethane material featuring cross traction technology that improves feel and tackiness. Combined with SuperStroke’s patented parallel technology further increases consistency and lowers scores for every level of golfer, even professionals.
