GRANBURY, Texas — December 4, 2014 – HIRZL, the #1 Long Drive Golf Glove with dozens of professional golf victories in the past three years, proudly announces it has garnered another professional long drive title. This notable HIRZL victory is credited to Jake Hansen and his team, International Team 2, who defeated Canada Team 4 to win the entire event.
The finals of the International Long Drive Championship were held at the Los Mangos Golf Club in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic where uncomfortable heat and humidity challenged all the long drive professionals. According to Long Drive Professional Jake Hansen, “Using HIRZL Gloves I became the 2014 ILDC Champion in the team division. They helped me battle the extreme heat and humidity.”
HIRZL’s success in the sport of long drive 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.
“In addition to the heat and muggy conditions, Jake and International Team 2 had to compete with gusting headwinds which is exceptionally difficult – going out of bounds could have eliminated them from the competition. Our gloves provided Jake with the best grip possible which contributed to his overall performance and confidence. Congratulations Jake on this win,” commented Steve Gray, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at HIRZL.
About HIRZL:

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.

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.
