Ladies Golf Clubs Attract Female Golfers And Improve Their Game

July 6th, 2011

It’s becoming more and more obvious that ladies golf clubs dramatically improve how a female plays a round of golf. It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that men and women are fundamentally different — especially from a physiological standpoint. That is why ladies golf clubs are so important for any woman who’s serious about playing golf.
As you probably know, golf is incredibly challenging sport for anyone. So why wouldn’t any woman want to give herself an advantage by trying to utilize ladies golf clubs instead of those originally intended for a guy? The simple fact of the matter is that ladies golf clubs have been engineered from the ground up to be significantly more suitable for women and their particular requirements. Best of all, ladies golf clubs are more prevalent today than ever before.

When a woman visits a gym, her personal trainer crafts a workout regimen specifically tailored to that particular woman. Likewise, ladies golf clubs have been tailor made to meet the exact needs of female golfers. No woman would choose to go to a gym and have the same workout routine as a 400 pound football player. Why would she want to settle for a set of golf clubs that weren’t specifically made for women golfers in mind? This is yet another reason why ladies golf clubs are so important.

Women have the opportunity to play from the red tees. This is something that most women view as being completely normal and natural. Ladies golf clubs are just as normal and natural. In fact, ladies golf clubs ultimately give a woman the ability to enjoy the game much more than if she’s trying to use golf clubs designed for men.

Many golf professionals say that the easiest way to dramatically improve one’s game is to use the right kind of golf clubs. For women it really makes a lot of sense to invest in ladies golf clubs. Many women even report that their joints and body feel significantly less sore and stressed as a result of utilizing ladies golf clubs.

Ladies golf clubs really help female golfers improve their game and have a lot more fun on the golf course. If you are a woman who regularly plays golf, or even if you are a woman who is thinking about becoming a more active golfer — you really owe it to yourself to invest in a set of ladies golf clubs.

Clearview Golf Signs NBC/Golf Channel Commentator, LPGA Pro Dottie Pepper As Endorser

May 7th, 2010

CHICAGO –– (May 7, 2010) –– ClearView Golf, makers of the patent-pending, Dual-Line System™ ClearView Putter, with its radically innovative acrylic club head design, has signed NBC/Golf Channel Commentator and seventeen-time LPGA champion and tour star Dottie Pepper to work with the company as it moves to launch its product nationwide. Stephen Ross, founder of ClearView Golf and inventor of the futuristic new putter design announced the agreement today.

Pepper met Ross at the PGA show in Florida earlier this year, instantly intrigued with the revolutionary see-through club head that provides players instant visual feedback before, during and after the putting stroke. “The ‘3D’ alignment system enables you to put your hands, eyes and body in the same place, every time.” said Pepper. After playing with the new club, Pepper realized it provided her a greater sense of confidence when putting, a trait important to all golfers, “from casual golfers to tour pros and everyone in between! This is one of the best putters, certainly the most unique, to come along in quite some time.” Not content with being just a spokesperson for the company, Pepper added the putter to her bag and uses it.

Ross noted Pepper would be at various events throughout the year on behalf of ClearView Golf, though her schedule has not yet been finalized. “Dottie is a great addition to our team and our marketing effort,” said Ross. “She has a love for the game, and an understanding that simplifying the process and approach to golf is what enhances performance; and greater performance leads to greater enjoyment. The ClearView putter is USGA-conforming and designed to give you replicable set up each and every time; this consistency of set up is key to every stroke in golf; and on the putting green, eliminating the third stroke is the measure of performance putts. We’ve designed the putter for everyone, from casual golfers to pros…we hope to get the putter onto the course at PGA tour and LPGA tour events.”

ClearView Golf http://clearviewputter.com is located in Medina, Ohio, with marketing offices in Chicago IL and San Francisco CA. Stephen Ross, president, ClearView Golf, invented the USGA-conforming club to address the needs of players to set up properly and consistently every time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP3fr1nA3zs. The acrylic club head, with it’s unique, patent-pending Dual-Line System™, provides a “3D” view of the vertical and horizontal plane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9jFcYWCkyM&feature=channel, enabling a player to set up over the ball, position hands in the same place every time, provides instant feedback throughout the stroke and improves aim by simplifying the sight line. The company was founded in 2009.

British eco-friendly invention set to change the world of golf

April 30th, 2010

A British inventor has filed for a patent on a unique “golf transporter” that incorporates a host of features and benefits that it is believed will revolutionise how golf is played by many golfers around the world.

Apart from the obvious health benefits that are evident its design, the invention affords the golfer the luxury of being able to sit, stand on, walk behind or even operate the equipment via remote control. However, it is its eco friendliness that has been a major driving force in its development according to the inventor.

The inventor is quoted as saying, “I hope that in its own small way, the ‘MultiTasker’ will help change the golfing worlds attitude towards the golf cart and its impact up on our environment, through the use of solar power as its primary energy source.”

With up to one million golf carts (or buggies as they are often called in the U.K.) being regularly used on golf courses around the world, the time has come for the golfing industry to do its bit and make the sport more eco-friendly. Taking the U.S. as an example as it has by far the largest number golf courses on the planet (around 50%) and an average rental fleet size averaging 47. To compound matters approx. 45% of the golf carts that ride around the fairways that are not even electric, but petrol.

Speaking to GolfingWorldNews.com the inventor said, “Now that I have a patent pending, the next step is to find a suitable investor to take the invention into production or, alternatively, find a company interested in a licensing agreement”

Nitelite Sports Introduces Talking Autograph Baseballs

February 1st, 2010

Nitelite Sports is introducing a revolutionary new way to capture autographs.

Nitelite Sports is introducing a revolutionary new way to capture autographs. Talking Autograph Baseballs allow every baseball fan to record and play their favorite player’s voice inside a Rawling’s Official Major League Baseball plus capture a photo of the player on the ball and an autograph. Electronic recorders are embedded inside official leather baseballs and are easily activated with the push of a button. Now every fan can collect all their favorite players’ voices, photos and autographs just like baseball cards. 3 models are available….Youth League Baseballs, Rawlings Official League Baseballs and Rawlings Official Major League Baseballs.

Every fan’s favorite player can wish them a happy birthday, thank them for being a great fan or give them some great hitting or pitching tips. There is a locking device on the ball that prevents the recording from being erased. Recorded voices are clear, much more personal and longer lasting than hard to read autographs.

Charities can use these electronic recording baseballs as fundraisers for their cause. When donations are made, the charity can give a Talking Autograph Baseball to the donor in appreciation for the contribution. Local baseball stars and coaches, both present and former, can be the spokesperson for the charity and record their voices in the baseballs, plus a photo and autograph. Pre-recorded voice chips can also be inserted into the ball for fan giveaways.

Coaches can use the talking baseballs for coaches awards for the best batting average, most wins, most RBIs, most homeruns, the M.V.P., most improved player and sportsmanship award.

Today’s stars will be come the legends of the past just like Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn and Mickey Mantle. Talking Autograph Baseballs offer “a whole new ballgame” for baseball fans of all ages and will become valuable mementos for generations to come.
