G.R.I.P. Golf Clubs Save Strokes & headaches For $69.95 or Less
 
GRAFTON, MASS – Recreational golfers want to improve their game and increase their satisfaction on the course. They are looking for technologically advanced, high-quality golf clubs but don’t want to spend a lot of money in the process.

 

Golf Research In Play (G.R.I.P.) has taken on their plight. The online retailer (www.gogrip.com) has developed three types of clubs that make the game easier to play and more fun for the recreational golfer. Attractively priced at $69.95 or less, G.R.I.P.’s club offerings include:  G.R.I.P. Hyper Steel Hybrids, G.R.I.P. CNC Milled Wedges, and the G.R.I.P. Sweetness™ Putter. Made from the finest quality materials, including heat-treated, cast steel and 8620 mild carbon steel, and featuring the latest designs, G.R.I.P.’s clubs save golfers strokes.

 

“We discovered an entire market of recreational golfers that had been neglected,” said Michael Blair, director of golf club development, G.R.I.P. “They want to enhance their game, but they do not want to break the bank with their club purchases. We have developed 100 percent original golf clubs made from superior materials that are a fraction of the price of the current major golf brands.”

 

G.R.I.P. Hyper Steel Hybrids

The G.R.I.P. Hyper Steel Hybrids offer recreational golfers the distance of a fairway wood and the accuracy of an iron. Made from heat-treated, cast steel, these hybrids produce a unique solid “ting” sound on contact as the ball explodes off the club face. In addition, the G.R.I.P. hybrids come pre-assembled with a heavy, six-gram brass screw in the heel and a lighter, three-gram aluminum screw in the toe for fade control and slice reduction.

 

Featuring the right amount of offset to give golfers additional forgiveness and accuracy, G.R.I.P. hybrids come in four different lofts, including 2H, 3H, 4H and 5H models, and feature Uni-flex High Modulus Graphite shafts. (MSRP $69.95)

 

G.R.I.P. CNC Milled Wedges

Unlike the craftsmanship behind traditional standard stainless steel wedges, G.R.I.P.’s CNC Milled Wedges are cast from 8620 mild carbon steel for a proper spin and an exceptionally soft feel on contact. These wedges feature unique milling gradient specifications to provide ideal spin rates and feel around the greens. The distinctive design of the G.R.I.P. wedge club head makes it easier to address the ball, line up shots and control ball trajectory. Available in 52° Gap Wedge, 56° Sand/Fairway Wedge and 60° Lob Wedge models, the G.R.I.P. wedges include a classic teardrop shape and True Temper Steel shafts. (MSRP $49.95)

 

G.R.I.P. Sweetness Putter

The G.R.I.P. Sweetness Putter allows golfers to easily line up and aim putts with its oversized, two-bar design. Featuring a center aiming line between its “Dual Tension Rods,” golfers can visually align their putts and produce a straight putting stroke.

 

The front and back of the Sweetness putter utilize reinforced weighting ports for even weight distribution through the putting stroke and perfect balance from set up to follow-through. In addition, Sweetness has a double insert on the face of the club. The face’s soft, CNC-milled aluminum center is surrounded by a soft polymer for producing a smooth, true roll. (MSRP $69.95)

 

For more information and to order products, visit www.gogrip.comor call 1-800-881-5774. G.R.I.P. offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a one-year warranty against manufacturers defects for all of its golf clubs.

 


WHY SHOULD WOMEN USE G.R.I.P.'S CNC MILLED WEDGES?
 
G.R.I.P.'s 52° Gap Wedge, 56° Sand Wedge and 60° Lob Wedge Equal 'Scoring Zone' Success

GRAFTON, MASS – August 16, 2006Did you know that more than 50 percent of all golf shots are hit from inside 100 yards, a golfer’s "scoring zone"? Did you know that three clubs are critical to any golfer’s success in this scoring zone? A Gap Wedge, Sand Wedge and Lob Wedge are the answer to a golfer’s short game, where knocking the ball as close to the pin as possible for an easier putt is what it takes. Responding to this market need, Golf Research In Play (G.R.I.P.) has recently introduced its CNC Milled Wedges for Women — 52° Gap Wedge, 56° Sand/Fairway Wedge and 60° Lob Wedge.

G.R.I.P. is a golf equipment manufacturer and an online retailer (http://www.gogrip.com/) dedicated to developing and offering golf clubs that make the game easier to play, more fun, and more affordable for the recreational golfer. G.R.I.P.’s CNC Milled Women’s Wedges are cast from 8620 mild carbon steel for a properspin and an exceptionally soft feel on contact, unlike the craftsmanship behind traditional standard stainless steel wedges. They feature unique milling gradient specifications to provide ideal spin rates and feel around the greens for precision shot-making, as well as a classic teardrop shape, making it easy for women golfers to address the ball, line up shots and control ball trajectory.

The G.R.I.P. CNC Milled Women’s Wedges also use a low-torque, high-modulus graphite shaft that is customized to complement the clubhead’s unique characteristics. In addition, each shaft is wrapped in an ultra-soft, all-weather polyurethane, two-piece grip.

"The club most commonly used by recreational golfers for shots within 100 yards is the Pitching Wedge. The Pitching Wedge is often too much club from these distances because it has a low loft, which can produce shots that generate significant roll," said Michael Blair, director of golf club development, G.R.I.P. "In general, golfers also tend to overshoot the green with a Pitching Wedge, which is an effective club from 90-120 yards for most golfers but it is not the precision, shot-making tool required for close-range, approach shots. By using a Gap Wedge, a Sand Wedge and a Lob Wedge, a golfer will significantly improve these type of shots and break 100, 90 and 80…without a doubt."

Why Should Women Use a 52° Gap Wedge, 56° Sand Wedge and 60° Lob Wedge?

G.R.I.P. 52° Gap Wedge
G.R.I.P.’s 52° Gap Wedge (the "Utility" Wedge) should be the club of choice for women golfers from distances of 50–80 yards and closer. The 52° Gap Wedge fills a large and important void between the Pitching Wedge and the Sand Wedge.

The Gap Wedge provides golfers with the ability to hit from longer distances similar to the Pitching Wedge, but it has a higher ball flight and more spin like a Sand Wedge, which allows the ball to roll to a stop quickly on the green and enables more precise shot-making. The Gap Wedge is also perfect for "chip and run" situations, where the ball is too far off the green to putt and too close to hit a traditional wedge shot.

Distinguishing itself from the field, G.R.I.P.’s 52° Gap Wedge utilizes a specialized one-way (light-pressure) milling on the face of the club to deliver a standard spin for longer approach shots that will help the ball to "bite" on the green.

G.R.I.P. 56° Sand Wedge
G.R.I.P.’s 56° Sand/Fairway Wedge is an essential tool from not only the sand but also from the fairway and the rough. A good
Sand Wedge will help women golfers hit better shots from the trap, but it will also help them hit high, accurate shots from distances of 45-60 yards and closer. G.R.I.P. uses a one-way (medium-pressure) milling process on the face of this wedge for extra spin and control, offering exceptional accuracy from a variety of lies.
 
G.R.I.P. 60° Lob Wedge
G.R.I.P.’s 60° Lob Wedge is used for shots requiring extraordinary spin control and women golfers should use the Lob Wedge from distances of 25-40 yards and closer. Their high 60° loft allows golfers to "lob" the ball high up in the air for what are often referred to as "flop shots". G.R.I.P. utilizes a highly specialized, two-way milling process on the club face to help with the creation of these high shots, with astounding spin, that stop "dead" on the green. Lob Wedges are great for short approaches to raised greens, getting over trees and clearing other obstacles, as well as getting out of deep traps.

Golfers will often open up the face of a Sand Wedge to escape a deep trap or get over an obstacle. These shots most often result in golfers' skulled shots, and the ball is hit often way too far or out of bounds. Having a Lob Wedge lets golfers execute these types of shots easily, accurately and consistently, while playing the natural loft of the club.

Pricing and Availability
The MSRP for the G.R.I.P. Sweetness Putter is $49.95. To purchase Sweetness, please visit http://www.gogrip.com/ or call 1-800-881-5774.

GOLF RESEARCH IN PLAY ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF ITS
G.R.I.P. SWEETNESS PUTTER
 
Dual Tension Rod, Two-Bar Design and Bold Finish Take the Pressure Out of Putting and Save Golfers Strokes

GRAFTON, MASS – June 21, 2006 Golf Research In Play (G.R.I.P.), a golf equipment manufacturer and an online retailer dedicated to developing and offering golf clubs that make the game easier to play, more fun, and more affordable for the recreational golfer, today announced the availability of the G.R.I.P. SweetnessTM Putter. Available through http://www.gogrip.com/, G.R.I.P.’s Sweetness features a "Dual Tension Rod," two-bar design, with a center aiming line between the rods, to help golfers visually align their putts and produce a straight putting stroke.

The front and back of the oversized Sweetness Putter utilize reinforced weighting ports for even weight distribution through the putting stroke and perfect balance from set up to follow-through. In addition, Sweetness features a double insert on the club’s face — a CNC-milled aluminum center surrounded by a soft polymer for a smooth, true roll.

"Putter technology has changed dramatically over the last few years. Through our research, we have found that recreational golfers are having more success on the greens with larger, mallet-style putters. G.R.I.P. has also found that one of the most critical components of putting is shot line up and putt aim," said Michael Blair, director of golf club development, G.R.I.P. "Joining together these two factors, we have designed Sweetness. With its 'Dual Tension Rod' design, oversized shape and bold finish, golfers can save strokes and sink their putts more easily."

Bold Fit and Finish
The G.R.I.P. Sweetness Putter is eye catching with its brushed gold and black finish. The striking contrast between the putter’s matte black body and Z-gold-plated tension rods provide an extraordinary alignment system, making putting that much easier.

Superior Shafts and Grip
The double-bend, aluminum shaft helps set the putter at address, gives a slight offset for proper putt set-up, and keeps a golfer’s hands in the correct position. The shaft is wrapped in an ultra-soft, all-weather polyurethane, two-piece grip.
