Imagine a golf grip that enables an enhanced feel for the game, decreases the level of fatigue caused by the effects of repetitive shock and vibration, and provides a superior playing experience. Energy Grip Inc. introduces a breakthrough technology that provides anti-shock qualities while removing weight from the entire system, allowing the weight to be applied to other components.

TECHNOLOGY
The patented Energy Grip Inc. advantage is the longitudinal cavities that create radial ribs within the grip. These ribs create a torsional isolation and vibrational energy dissipation system. The outside of the grip is the “mass” and the ribs serve as the dampening mechanism. Placing evenly spaced receptacles within the grip absorbs vibration, and provides greater control (torque) for the club user without significant loss of the “feel” of the stroke.
 
    PRODUCT
    The Energy Grip features an innovative, proprietary design that affordably solves the problem of harmful shock and vibration. Energy Grip Inc. product offering includes two styles of golf grips: a one-piece Injection-molded grip and a two-piece grip that consists of an under-listing and a wrap. The one-piece Injection-molded rubber grip product is for professional players, and the two-piece wrap grip product is used primarily by the non-professional avid and casual players.
       
    ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS
• Reduce vibration felt in the swing by dissapating shock experienced through impact
• Reduces the effect of “bad shots”
• Increased feeling of control with crisp impact that preserves the feel of each swing
• Does not add weight to the system
• Lessens fatigue that results from repetitive vibration
• University Invention: University of Texas, Austin
• Protected IP: Multiple US Patents.
         
      MARKET
      The largest market for golf in the world is the U.S. and the rapid evolution of technology in the golf equipment industry accelerates the rate at which golfers purchase new equipment. Worldwide, golf is a $7.1 billion industry. Avid and core golfers account for 87 percent of all expenditures for golf related products and services. Golfers have been re-gripping their clubs at a higher rate, leading to a 5 percent growth in grip sales. Golfers re-grip their clubs on average every six months to a year. Annually, golfers spend approximately $22 billion on equipment and fees in the U.S. Global golf grip sales are estimated to be $350 million, of which $140 million represents grip sales in the U.S.
