Feel Golf is giving away a free set of Full Release Grips on July 10th. Performance Grip gives you a Tour Player like finger grip, where the traditional grip forces the grip into your palm, & causes loss of distance & the old "Hole in the Glove" and of course wayward ball flight.

FeelGolf Company, a private company owned & operated by PGA Professionals, announced today, that it's offering a "Hi-Loft Wedge" floor display and includes 4 each of their 60° 64° and new 73° wedge, plus 3 FREE lofts of choice to retailers worldwide.
"The increasing need for "High Loft Wedges" has been gaining more and more attention within the industry over the past few years due to higher rough, deeper greenside bunkers, harder fairways with faster and harder greens. Thus, we are strong advocates, especially for the average amateur golfer and many Tour players", stated Lee Miller, CEO and a PGA Professional. "We are the industry innovator for "Hi-Lofted Wedges", including our new 73° wedge - which won Golf Illustrated's "2007 Baggy Award" for most innovative product to improve a golfer's game."
"We are offering our retailers a 15-wedge floor display stand with a very small "footprint" when they order a dozen wedges. We also provide 3 additional wedges at no cost with this package calling it our 12 + 3 display package. We are already seeing some demand and expect this to continue as it provides retailers a new way to market wedges to their customers in this, a challenging year for some golf shops."
"While initially there has been some reluctance by golfers to try revolutionary or innovative products, if the product helps improve their game - they will become avid fans. We saw this when we first introduced our 64° wedge back in the early 1990's. Some Tour players were reluctant to use it. But over time, players began to see the unique benefits of having such a club in their bag and today, many Tour players carry them, including some of the worlds very best."
"We are not the only believers of having more wedges in the bag," stated Greg Cottingham, the Company's General Manager and a PGA Member. "There have been a number of articles in major golf publications by well known short game experts now advocating the use of "Hi-Loft Wedges". The bottom line, they help golfers get closer to the hole and reduce the number of putts. This is especially true for challenging bunker, and deep rough shots or hitting to elevated and/or small hard greens when a golfer has little green to work with."
"Having won 8 Annual "Best of the Best" wedge categories by several recognized independent testing organizations, including a 100% Member Approval rating in 2007 by PGA Tour Partners, we must know a little about what it takes to produce a great feeling wedge" stated Andy Heffner, VP of Sales. "Having our wedges played by so many Tour Players worldwide over the past 20 years, including major wins, should let the average golfer know that we are serious in what we do and who we are - we are PGA Professionals and ex-players after all. We know the game"
"Our new 73° wedge for example, was the result of collaboration with PGA Master and Teaching Professional, Charlie Sorrell and Lee Miller, our CEO, aka, "Dr. Feel". Miller has been a top club engineer and club maker for over 20 years. There are not many recognized club engineers to begin with and even fewer with PGA playing experience."
"The desire was to create a wedge that would allow any player, regardless of skill level, to use their full swing, which is the most repeatable swing any player has. Distance control is by ball placement. Off the front foot for a nice flop shot and off the back foot for distance and in between for all other. After many months of testing, the 73° was deemed the best loft for approach shots, up to 50 yards and in. The "Hi-Loft" makes it extremely versatile and for amateurs, it eliminates many of their short game challenges - such as open face, open stances and half swings. With this club, the golfer simply fires straight at the pin, with a full and relaxed swing - which is any player's most repeatable swing - and lands the ball softly on the green nearer the pin. For better players, they can easily put spin on the ball, giving them more options with their shots around the greens, especially in the majors."
"For our retailers, the patented 73° stands out first of all due to its head cover that comes included with the 73's in the "Hi Loft Wedge" floor display. Also attached to the 73 degree is a 3 page booklet showing how and where to use the 73. This is an immediate attention grabber, and self-seller. In addition, seeing that the wedge actually is made by PGA Professionals, and now with it having won awards, it has become our best selling wedge ever! Nothing comparable."

Feel Golf Full Release Performance Grip Ads Are On The Golf Channel
DATE: 05/16/2008 13:27:34 / MOOD: i love golf
Feel Golf Company, a private company owned & operated by PGA Professionals, announced today that it will begin airing 60 and 30 second ad spots of its award winning reverse-taper Full Release™ Performance grips on The Golf Channel and other select sports networks beginning in May.
"We are very excited to be able to further educate golfers on our performance grips - that are more ergonomically and sports science designed for better overall performance in both distance and accuracy – and that are USGA and R&A Conforming", stated Andy Heffner, VP of Sales. "The Ads are also designed to build brand awareness and further support our established retailers in the US and our distributors internationally."
Lee Miller, the Company's CEO and Founder, was primarily involved in the R&D of the grips and the multiple design and utility patents they have received, stated: "We have been slowly building a niche identity within the golf grip market for the past four years. We have received numerous awards, industry testimonials and independent testing validation on our grips superior performance characteristics in distance and accuracy along with their better feel over this time. By doing so, we now have an established customer base of very loyal golfers who having switched over to using our reverse-taper golf grip – over their former traditional tapered golf grips."
The design of the grips is actually quite simple – try hitting a baseball with a bat that is not reverse tapered – so why do golfers hit their clubs with grips that are harder to hit with? The answer is also simple, no one thought of it before and golf is a very traditional sport – so new ideas – even ones with better science can take a lot longer to filter into the main steam or norm. Stated Lee Miller: "Today, we now have a number of PGA and other Tour players who are now interested in using our performance grips. When we first came out with these grips 4 years ago, that would have been impossible."
"It's pretty cool when you receive a call from a customer in England who is actually playing a round of golf when first using our grips and sharing with us they just hit a 6 Iron onto the green - hitting the ball ~25-35 yards further than they've ever been able to hit using their 6 Iron before and running up to the green to apologize for the group ahead that was putting!", stated Nick Miller, a team member of Feel and who happens to hold the "World Amateur Long Drive Record" of 449 yards. "We get unique stories like this all the time and it's what motivates us to get our story out to more and more golfers."

The Full Release Grip - How Important is the Grip?
DATE: 05/09/2008 22:06:39 / MOOD: like playing 36 holes
What Adds Distance? Have you ever watched and wondered how it is that professional golfers seem to swing with such ease yet they still get so much distance and control? Most PGA professional teachers will tell you that the way you grip the club is the most fundamental necessity for executing a proper golf shot (and achieving the most distance). With the proper grip and timing professionals release a tremendous amount of power at impact.
The Full Release Grip The Full Release grip has been called "The Greatest change to Golf in the last 100 years," says Publinks magazine. The Taper Tip technology actually is smaller as it nears the butt end of the club instead of the old "fat" grips. It allows the golfer to really grip the club in the fingers, just like the pros do and then as the grip goes down the shaft it becomes gradually larger (like a baseball bat) allowing the right hand to deliver tremendous power at impact.
The Full Release grip allows you to easily rotate your hands through impact delivering an increase in ball speed, more control, and increased confidence, and oh, did we say MORE DISTANCE!
Independent testing shows that this grip greatly reduced wayward ball flight and the tendency to slice or hook the ball.
Time for a Change Now is the time to change grips anyway, and get ready for the new season. Do yourself a favor, and order a set of three (3) Full Release grips today. You will receive our FREE DVD explaining how to really release the shot like a pro.

The 73 Degree Wedge - Next Generation Wedge by Feel Golf
DATE: 05/06/2008 18:58:58 / MOOD: throwing clubs
Working in concert with the renowned Charlie Sorrell, a former PGA Teacher of the Year and one of the top short game teachers, we've completed some extensive research on golf club lofts. Here we discovered that golfers of all abilities, from Tour players to 20+ handicappers, have a need for a club that is extremely versatile - whether one needs to hit the ball a few feet or up to ~50 yards. And most of all is easy to use.
The 73 degree may at first seem to be an extraordinary loft, just like the 60 and 64 degree wedges were when first introduced years ago on Tour. But this is wedge that is actually very easy to use. Distance is completely controllable, more so than any other loft we've tested to date.
Distance and the type of shot (3 feet or 50 yards) is completed simply by means of ball placement at the back of your stance if you need more distance, and at the front of your stance
"We are very excited about this wedge and how it helps almost every one of the players involved in our independent testing," states Leo Miller, PhD and CEO of Feel Golf.
What makes this wedge a great option, is the fact that the player can take their regular, full swing and the 73 degree eliminates the need for half or 3/4 swings that are difficult for most amateurs. The player also doesn't need to worry with opening the face of the club or lack the confidence for those perfect high flop shots when short sided near the green.
The 73's patented design will glide through any lie and the 73 eliminates the "in between" club. Regardless of distance needed, the player can take their full swing and distance is well controlled. This is a huge advantage because it simply takes away the likelihood of a miss-hit, caused when trying to finesse the "in between" short game approach shot. The 73, when coupled with our Full Release(TM) Performance grips, is a great addition to any player's bag.
The 73 was recently the recipient of Golf Illustrated's "Baggy Award" for the most innovative product of 2007 to help improve a golfer's game.
