Posted on by Until The Next Tee

Special thanks go out to Jennifer Dixon from the Jamison Golf Group for sharing this press release. Zero Friction has been making quality products for a long time and the brand has received recognition on the Champions Tour.

Highlighting the product range are the Cabretta Elite golf glove and their ZFT Maxx 3 Prong golf tees. i’d be remiss if I failed to mention their “one-size fits all” compression golf gloves and their Spectra Matte finish golf balls. The Spectra golf balls are a two-piece distance golf ball.

Zero Friction has fair price points for their products and offers a vast array of colors ensuring that their is a golf glove for everyone. For more details please see the press release below.

 Charles Schwab Cup Using Zero Friction Golf Tee And Glove

 

OAKBROOK TERRACE, IL (November 15, 2018) – The recent success on professional golf tours for Zero Friction, maker of high-quality, technologically advanced products for golfers worldwide, continued this past weekend at the PGA Tour Champions’ season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Arizona.
Zero Friction had two top-10 finishes by players using the company’s ZFT Maxx 3 Prong Tees, and a 13th-place finish from a player using the tees and the Zero Friction glove.

The ZFT Maxx Tees are extra-large to make it easier and faster to set the ball on. The short Hybrid tees set up at the perfect height for irons, hybrids, and driving irons. ZFT Maxx system tees offer the same great design, distance and performance as the original 3 and 4-prong tees, with 66% reduced contact area for less resistance and more distance.
“We are thrilled that the world’s best players are enjoying success using our products,” said John Iacono, founder and President of Zero Friction. “Our multi-prong performance tees are what the company was founded on, and it is exciting to see tour players benefit from the performance of our tees in competition again.”

Two years ago Zero Friction launched a true breakthrough product, the GPS Distance Pro glove, which comes with a lightweight GPS device on the flap, providing accurate distances for over 35,000 golf courses worldwide.

This year the company introduced two new products that received rave reviews at the PGA Merchandise Show. The Cabretta Elite golf glove is an upgrade to the original Cabretta glove released three years ago. The Cabretta leather provides a solid grip in wet or humid weather. The reinforced Lycra throughout fingers, back of hand and palm allow for maximum strength, durability, and enhanced breathability.

Also new are the  Spectra™ matte finish distance golf balls. Matte finish golf balls are the hottest product in golf right now, as they are easier to see in the air and on the ground, so they speed up play and prevent lost balls. The 80 compression, 2 piece golf balls can add up to 10 additional yards and straighter shots due to less sidespin.
Spectra matte finish distance golf balls are available in 4 ball sleeves, dozens, and blister packs with tees. They are also available as Supertubes, which include Zero Friction performance tees, a one-size compression fit glove, and Spectra golf balls. The Spectra golf balls are available in men’s, ladies’, and junior versions.

Expand The Brand

Posted on by Until The Next Tee

The 2019 PGA Merchandise Show is getting closer and with it my excitement is building. It’s going to be fun as it always is networking with like-minded individuals and golf manufacturers. But there is a real sense of change in the air and it’s a change that I’m excited about.

DSC_0013

In 2019, I’m going to be expanding the brand. This year in Orlando I will be accompanied by my wife Crystal. Crystal has been my biggest supporter through my golf journey and through the last 20+ years of my life for that matter. Whether it was playing professionally on Mini-Tours, working long hours and work weeks while I served as a Director of Golf or putting up with my lack of attention while she talked as I wrote.

Earlier this year (after the 2018 PGA Show) I said to Crystal that she could come as long as she was a good girl. I admit, that while I travel to Florida every year for the show I do use it as a chance to get away and have some special “Me Time”. I promise that it isn’t as selfish as it sounds. The idea of me being accompanied this year really came to fruition because there was no way that she’d be comfortable with me attending the PGA Show by myself after my stroke.

Not sure where I’d be without her. Crystal and I earlier this year in Vermont.

Crystal is going to be there assisting in several ways. Quite frankly, the show has gotten to be too busy for me by myself. So being the skilled photographer that she is she will be my photographer and videographer. More importantly, as a way to cover more show she’ll be visiting with Women’s Apparel brands etc and contributing with some writing about those brands that she discovers. It’s time that we (golf blogs etc) start paying more attention to women’s golf. After all, it is a massive portion of the golfer demographic.

Building on a lot of momentum in 2018 there is more to come. Coming in 2019 is a change in the plan that I use here at WordPress. At the moment, I’m using a plan that doesn’t allow me to do what I would truly love Until The Next Tee to become. An upgraded plan will allow for more video coverage, a forum format (I want this to become a Golf Community) and I’ve recently considered attempting a podcast as well.

So stay tuned. 2019 is going to be fun.

Until The Next Tee!!
