ST AUGUSTINE, FL May 24, 2005 - Today, Evolve Golf, makers of the number one performance golf tee on the PGA Tour, unveiled its latest product, the epoch-2.375" tee at the 2005 International Network of Golf (ING) Spring Conference. While the popular epoch-3.125" biodegradable tee has addressed the need of a "long" tee for today's deep-faced drivers, Evolve Golf has responded to the demand for a short performance tee applicable for irons, hybrids, fairway woods, and standard volume drivers (300cc to 420cc).
"The reception of the epoch-3 has been overwhelming and we expect the new epoch-2 to replicate this success on and off the course," said BJ Maloy, president and CEO of Evolve Golf. "Our market research has shown that golfers were utilizing our tee with their driver but were using broken wood tees for par 3s. The fact of the matter is that the benefits of the epoch are even more beneficial when attacking par 3s."
The innovative epoch-3.125" tee, has been played by more than 300 professionals on the PGA, LPGA, Champions and Nationwide Tours and was recently named the official tee of the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA).
As if Tour validation wasn't enough, golf retailers from the Unites States, Canada and Australia have struggled to keep epochs on the shelf. The epoch-2.375" available in packages of 15, will be sold at leading golf retailers and numerous green grass golf courses.
The epoch's convex radius posts, which are wider than any golf ball dimple, allow the tee to only interact with the exoskeleton of the golf ball. This reduces surface contact by 93 percent, compared to wood tees, allowing golfers to maximize distance, accuracy and workability.
Evolve Golf, based in Ocean Isle, NC is the manufacturer of the No. 1 Performance Golf Tee on Tour™. Two years of R&D developing advances in biotechnology material science and surface geometry produced a biodegradable tee that significantly outperforms the wood tee. Their epoch product line will be featured as the preferred tee for play at hundreds of premium golf clubs nationwide.
