GRANBURY, Texas — November 7, 2014 – HIRZL, the #1 Long Drive Golf Glove with dozens of victories in the past three years, has thrived yet again at the RE/MAX Long Drive Championship. This year it was Jeff Crittenden who reached the finals, now known as the Las Vegas 8, wearing HIRZL high performance golf gloves.
“The HIRZL team is proud of how well Jeff competed. He battled the windy conditions as well as his fellow competitors. His final and most impressive drive measured just 13-inches short from taking the title. It was so close they had to take a final measurement before announcing a winner. We commend him for making the Las Vegas 8 and for his runner-up position,” commented Steve Gray, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at HIRZL.
HIRZL’s dominance in the 2014 RE/MAX World Championships can be attributed to their specialized HIRZL GRIPPP technology which ensures a maximum grip under all conditions which is critical for these elite long drive athletes who swing the golf club up to 150mph with ball speeds of close to 220mph.
According to Crittenden, “I only trust my golf swing to HIRZL Gloves. My HIRZL Glove is like a bridge between my hand and the club, allowing me to swing at full force with confidence. No matter what the conditions, rain or shine, the glove stays dry and maintains the proper grip for chasing after (400) yard drives during competition. For this Long Drive Professional, HIRZL is definitely top of the line.”
“HIRZL and its superior technology reduces friction, slippage and the heat associated with this type of swing performance,” added Gray.

About HIRZL:
HIRZL, headquartered in Switzerland, with North American operations based in Granbury, TX, is a leading specialist for high performance sports gloves. HIRZL’s focus is solely on gloves with products specifically designed for golf and cycling, which is in contrast to many sports manufacturers with wide ranges of products spanning equipment, shoes and fashion. HIRZL’s gloves are designed with the latest scientific, technical and ergonomic mechanics data on how sports equipment is used on the hands. The company philosophy is based upon the firm belief that gloves are an essential part of the equipment for many types of sports. When gloves are used in sports, they become the only true link between the hands of the sportsperson and their equipment.
HIRZL Gloves Manufactured for The “Ultimate Glove Experience:”
HIRZL manufactures their high performance gloves with only the finest genuine leather, natural kangaroo or cabretta leather which has been additionally tanned with a propriety technology. The leather is individually stretched by hand and table cut, effectively ensuring the direction of stretch is controlled in each piece. For ventilation comfort a membrane directs the airflow and breathability characteristics to create a micro-environment for the skin to breathe more easily. The stretch fit feature provides a strategically based perfect fit and wearing comfort. All HIRZL gloves are constructed with a 45-degree “Pre-curved finger system” in consideration to the natural curvature of the hand and to avoid bunching effects and guarantee a perfect fit. For addition comfort, a sweat band made with terry towel absorbs sweat and water at the wrist area which also has a warming effect when temperatures are low. Form fit inserts are strategically placed in the palm section of the glove to reduce pleats. A low wrist cut construction provides 360-degrees of unlimited movement.
