Volvik, the #1 Color Golf Ball On Tour, will exhibit its exciting new product lineup at Booth #717 at the 64th PGA Merchandise Show, Jan. 25-27 in Orlando, Fla.
The up-and-coming brand announced this week that they will launch two new models of golf balls, the DS-55 and the VIVID XT, as well as adding three new colors into their extremely popular VIVID line. Volvik will also launch a wide variety of new Volvik branded accessories that include new Volvik stand bags, VIVID Optic sunglasses and Volvik Italian leather belts.
New Volvik staff player Bubba Watson will make an appearance at booth #717 Wednesday starting at 2 PM for a signing ceremony and Q & A. The company will also be launching the new pink and green versions of their S4 golf ball in which Watson is playing on the PGA TOUR.
“The PGA Show continues to be the place where we unveil our new products and a place to show the golf industry and beyond what we have planned as a company to continue our explosive growth that we have enjoyed in the market place,” said Volvik USA President Don Shin. “We raised the bar last year by launching products like the VIVID and the VIBE that truly affected the landscape of the golf ball space due to their quality of performance and uniqueness. This year, we have found a way to attract all player types, from the longest drivers of the golf ball to those seeking the softest feeling golf ball, as well as continuing to fill the demand for Volvik branded accessories that has grown steadily as our brand continues to rise to new heights.”
