ROSELLE, Ill. -- ProPlay North America, the distributor for the ProPlay Fitting System in both US and Canada, has announced today that the company has appointed Read The Greens to provide public relations and promotional services for their new playing aid.
According to ProPlay Executive Donna Del Muro, “Read The Greens was selected from numerous firms because of their notable track record within the golf community. We are confident they will prove to be a valuable strategic partner during this critical introductory phase of ProPlay.”
“We saw the new ProPlay Fitting System at the PGA Show in Orlando and instantly recognized how simple but effective the product is. It consists of only a grip and glove but the ingenuity is in how they work together to teach the golfer the perfect grip. We look forward to helping ProPlay reach the thousands of golfers who will immediately improve from it,” said Vanessa Price, Executive Director at Read The Greens.
The ProPlay Fitting System consists of two components – a grip and a glove. Both components feature instructional markings which work together to guide the hand and the grip. When the two components are perfectly paired the union creates the perfect grip.
All top teaching and playing professionals agree that the grip is one of the single most important aspects of the game.
According to GolfTEC’s Vice President of Instruction and PGA Master Professional Steve Atherton, “The grip is vital to effective swing mechanics, yet it is frequently undervalued, even among seasoned players.”
ProPlay fits seamlessly. The grip dimensions are specifically designed to match your glove size. Five custom grip and glove offerings are available for men, three for women and three for juniors.
What distinguishes the ProPlay Fitting System from other training aids is that it is considered a playing aid that can be used on the driving range and on the golf course as it conforms to USGA Rules per decision 2007-450.

The ProPlay Fitting System was developed by seasoned golf professionals Neil McCree and Alan McKay from Queenstown Club in New Zealand, the two boast over 65 combined years of coaching. The concept stemmed from their numerous discussions on teaching the fundamentals of the perfect grip. Nationwide golf distributor Mike Oliver joined the pair and was instrumental in developing samples and obtaining a USGA approval. A savvy Oliver then procured an endorsement from Kiwi native Steve Williams, caddy to the greatest golfer in the modern era, Tiger Woods. He states, “This is the most revolutionary product to come onto the market in years.”
The ProPlay Fitting System is now sold in nine countries throughout the world with four more countries in negotiations. ProPlay North America is located at 928 Central Avenue, Roselle, IL and can be reached at 877-980-3105 or on the web at www.proplayna.com.
