Hi Steve,
where are you located? I would like to connect and see if there might be a way we can do some work together. we also do some cool customized putters with customized grips (our putter crown colors match the grips) and these can become memorable give aways for high end tournaments. We also have a limited edition autograph series that we do if a charity has a celebrity attached that is willing to lend their efforts via signatures. there's lot's of ways to skin the cat and all worth exploring...

here's my email address, mabye we can catch up next week?

Brain I saw that you are doing charity auctions with golf putters. My company insures hole n one tournaments and 60' putts. Let me know if there is any wau we can work something out for promotions and maybe giving away putters or prizes for putts.

good deal, i'll wait to hear from you. I have a partner that handles most of our branded sports line so maybe we can have a con call to get some ideas discussed.
have a great weekend.
also, let me know if you want to meet Randy, he's a good guy right in your own backyard.

Very cool. The R-7 seems to be one of the clubs to beat, for sure. I know who Randy is, but only in passing. The Steeler putters are a great idea...something for the Penguins would work, too. This area lives and dies by the Steelers (who are gonna have a tough year, bad schedule) and the Pens. Let me wrap my mind around a few ideas while spiing some adult beverages this weekend at the lake and I'll drop you a diretc line Monday or Tuesday.

we've done a lot of testing after 18 months to make the product right. we had an ex. long drive champ hit our product against a TaylorMade R-7 Tour edition and after two hours of testing on in indoor launch monitor he hit our club CONSISTANLY further than the TaylorMade which totally surprised us all. Our manufacturing and engineering partner has produced products for the long drive tour for quite a few years and had several long drive champions. I put our product up against any in market.

You've got an interesting product there...not your grandpa's driver! How have they tested out against the larger "players" gear out there?

Brian,

I did look at the site, and the womens line looks very nice, very well presented. If you don't mind, could you leave me your email address so I can send you some more infomation about Flimp?

Hi Brian,

I just checked out your website and your clubs look really great. Are you sponsoring any events for golf, or looking for a way to advertise using the web? I'd love to introduce you to flimp media.
