When it comes to technical advancements, golf footwear refuses to be left in the dust. Shoe manufacturers are looking for new and improved ways to keep golfers comfortable with traction and stability that allows a golfer to go for shots and not worry about their footwear equipment. One company with years of experience that has succeeded at this is Etonic.
CHAMP is proud to partner with Etonic on the launch of the Difference golf shoe. For the golfers who buy the Difference, included on the inside of the shoe are properties to reduce heat as well as added cushioning for comfort. When it comes to the outsole Etonic has chosen to accompany their PowerUp Technology Outsole System, with the CHAMP Zarma spikes. CHAMP Zarma is the latest offering by CHAMP and has quickly become known as the ‘comfort cleat’ by those who wear it.
CHAMP Zarma was launched less than a year ago and already has success on the professional golf tours. Features of CHAMP Zarma include a traction element constructed of durable abrasion resistant urethane, a comfort element of soft resilient shock absorbing material attached to a rigid base element, which incorporates the fastener. As in all of the CHAMP spikes, CHAMP Zarma has a wear indicator to let golfers know when it is an appropriate time to change out their spikes.
Once again, CHAMP, will be present at the upcoming 2011 PGA Expo held at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is yet another year that CHAMP will be exhibiting at this tradeshow which plays an important part in introducing new products and other news items that impact the future of the golf industry.
This year momentum is growing for CHAMP as it continues to showcase the Zarma Collection which originally launched in January at the PGA Merchandise Show. First launched was the CHAMP Zarma Spikes known by many as the most comfortable spike on the market today. In a short time the professional tours began gravitating toward the Zarma spikes and educated consumers were asking about this new addition to the already desired CHAMP spikes family.
After consistent increase in exposure and growing sales, the next product that launched from CHAMP was the Zarma FLYtee™ which immediately saw success in the industry. Proving that the original wooden standard tees may not be enough to support the big hitters in today’s game, the Zarma FLYtee™ has quickly become a product in demand. Increasing weekly, players on the global professional tours are asking for the FLYtee™ and country clubs globally are changing to the FLYtee™ as their standard tee on course.
As CHAMP spikes continue to dominate in traction technology on the professional tours, there is a highly sought after collection from CHAMP that is receiving increased attention. With the success of the Zarma spikes, which continue to take market share and gain attention from the players on the professional golf tours, players were looking for the next greatest product from CHAMP. Since its launch at the PGA Merchandise Show the new Zarma FLYtee™ is the second product to be launched as part of the Zarma Collection. This high performance tee will provide increased distance from tee to green while outlasting any wood tee on the market today. It’s biodegradable make up and durable plastic design is preferred on all major golf tours. The Zarma FLYtee™ was widely used by the field at the 2011 Open Championship and has been gaining significant momentum at retail globally ever since its release a few months ago.
The FLYtee™ is eco-friendly, made with environmentally friendly biodegradable materials; a durable plastic design and a 6 prong head which makes it easier to place the ball on the tee and keep it stable. With its added durability and contoured cup, this tee gives top performance to all golfers, from amateurs to professionals. Available in 1 3/4″ (44mm), 2 3/4″ (69mm) & 3 1/4″ (83mm) sizes and an array of colors, the new Zarma FLYtee™ is a must for any golfer.
Following an exciting product launch at the 2011 PGA Merchandise Show, CHAMP announces that the new CHAMP Zarma FLYtee has far exceeded all expectations.
CHAMP, the company long known for its success on tour with their traction technology products, introduced the Zarma FLYtee knowing that its construction would simplify the “tee world” providing the best in technological advances. The Zarma FLYtee offers a more stable cup with a six prong head that makes it easier to place the ball on the tee and keep it stable. It is engineered with environmentally friendly, biodegradable materials and a sturdy body that‟s extremely durable and easy to insert even into firm ground. CHAMP perfected the design of Zarma FLYtee, and it is quickly becoming known as the greatest performance tee on the market.
Due to the overwhelming success of this new revolutionary product, additional tooling has been put into operation to keep up with the incoming demand from the global markets. Just launched on the professional tours in the US, the FLYtee will soon be launched to all professional tours globally to accommodate the growing demand for such an extremely well crafted performance tee.
The Zarma FLYtee is available in 1 ¾”, 2 ¾” and 3 ¼” reusable, recyclable packs in a variety of colors along with multiple printed logo options.
