Like many other products, we have submitted our Gotta-Grip to the scrutiny of golf equipment tests.  In fact, we have been tested, and approved twice by the PGA Tour Partners Member Tests (with a 2006 approval rating of 90%).  We feel confident our golf grip conditioner meets the golf’s highest standards, standards set by golfers.

The most recent test we participated in with PGA Tour Partners reflects that 90% of their members tested would recommend the product to a fellow golfer or club member.

PGA Tour Partners Magazine has over five hundred thousand members.  It is the premier golf magazine serving its members with information on golf.  Additional information about the game, equipment and the players who make it the greatest sport are included in each edition along with new products such as ours.

As a service to their members and the golf industry, PGA Tour Partners offers companies the chance to send products to their members who agree to fill out a detailed review of the products.

The sixteen kinds of information collected provide the basis for two ratings a particular product can earn:  an Overall Rating and an Approval Rating.

The categories range from price and quality, game improvement, durability, design, and the all-important “would they recommend the product to someone?”  I feel this is one of the most important questions any test could ask because we all seek word-of-mouth advertising.

We are proud to say that we received an Overall Rating of 8.2 to go with our Approval Rating of 90%.  Truth be told, there were a handful of ratings forms that came in after the deadline that could have driven our ratings even higher.

Like other manufacturers taking part in these tests, we gathered valuable information about our product as well as exposure to the golfers we seek to gain as customers.

What I like about their rating system is that it is 100% geared for the golfer.  There are no guarantees that your product will achieve any level of rating.  Advertising will not affect the strength of the rating.

By providing this service to the golfing community and the companies that bring new products to market, PGA Tour Partners is helping to set the standard that golf products must adhere to if they want to thrive.

Another thing that is a side benefit to us, in addition to the exposure we got when the review of our product came out, was the opportunity to meet others who are introducing new products for golf.  Products like The Glove Grabber, Play Nine, Correct Sight, Par-formance, and more have been featured in the Members Spotlight.

The golf industry is a finite universe, yet with infinite opportunities to help others improve their game.  We encourage anyone in the golf industry to check out submitting your product for testing.  You will learn about your product, your customers and perhaps about the industry, especially important if you are just starting out.

The main thing product tests will show you is that there are companies interested in your honest opinion on their products.  For manufacturers, it can help prove that your idea or product is sound.

If there is any room for improvement, you will hear many good suggestions to aid you in striving for perfection.

Enjoy Golf!
