FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- With more than 12,000 putts returning before a battery change, avid golfers, tour professionals and industry leaders are reporting a high perceived value for the new RoboCup Ball Return Robot. At a price point of $59.95 for both the RoboCup and Caddy Cord, the bundled putting solution becomes a golfers' own personal and portable putt-return caddy, fitting into practice cups. The new invention saves golfers time, their backs and brings the fun back to putting practice.
Unlike other putt-return devices, RoboCup differentiates itself in its quality, lifeline and sophisticated technology:
− RoboCup is the only portable ball return device designed to work on any practice green with a practice or full-depth cup.
− RoboCup is compact, travels well and fits easily into your golf bag. It's like having a ball-return putting green that fits in your pocket.
− RoboCup can be used year-round, both indoors and outdoors.
− RoboCup is the only putt return device that actually 'catapults' the ball right back to you - 14 feet or more.
− RoboCup/Caddy Cord provides feedback on missed putts as well. Putting speed control is rewarded with a returned putt. Putt too hard and the ball rolls over the Caddy Cord.
− RoboCup lasts for more than 12,000 putt returns per set of batteries, making it a longtime golf companion.
− RoboCup's inventor Keith Foley has a reputation for well-engineered products, also known for the G-Clip and Line-M-Up creations.
− RoboCup offers a printable surface area, ideal for tournaments and marketing for a brand, course or giveaway.
− RoboCup saves time - with golfers not having to retrieve their balls, they can triple their practice time.
− RoboCup makes putting practice more enjoyable. Being rewarded for good putts entices the golfer to longer practice sessions.
− RoboCup reduces foot traffic around the practice green cups. You don't have to keep walking around the cup to retrieve balls.
− RoboCup saves peoples' backs - golfers avoid bending over to retrieve their own ball.
− RoboCup is affordable, at only $59.95 MSRP for both the RoboCup and Caddy Cord.
− For less than the price of a couple dozen golf balls, RoboCup instills confidence on the putting green.
As Fine Tune Golf fulfills requests from more than 150 tour pros and industry professionals, the company continues to receive reviews from industry supporters. "It is so rewarding to have reputable industry professionals like Tour Pros voicing their support for our creation," says Keith Foley, Inventor and Co-Founder of RoboCup. He says that with all of this feedback, the most popular question they are receiving is "Why didn't I think of that?"
"I love my RoboCup," says Ronald Thow, formerly of the Golf Writers Association of America. When Thow used it as his Heathrow Country Club in Florida, he says that it actually drew a crowd. "People came out of nowhere to watch and try - it was incredible," he says. Thow adds, "If this doesn't sell like hot cakes, something is terribly wrong."
"The amazing thing about RoboCup is how many legitimate professionals would like to have one, not just the high handicappers," says Danny Day of RIFE Putters. "It's a hit!"
"When I use my RoboCup on the practice green, it totally sets my rhythm for putting," says Joe Borgenicht of Rule Golf. "I can set it into the cup and start making putt after putt after putt, he adds. "The ball gets kicked back every time, and I really learn to trust my line and speed…It just puts me right in the zone…No wonder Tour Pros love to practice with it," Borgenicht adds.
With all of the industry momentum, RoboCup is positioned to become a household name in golf. Together, RoboCup and Caddy Cord bring one impactful solution to the putting game, all at one great price. For additional information surrounding RoboCup, visit www.finetunegolf.com
