Feel Golf Introduces The "Lee Miller Signature Series" of Wedges for 2010
Monterey, California - Feel Golf Company, Inc.
announces it's a new line of
"
Lee Miller Signature" wedges for the upcoming 2010 season.
The "Signature" line designed by Lee Miller, long
known to Tour players
and industry insiders as a very astute wedge designer, creating wedges
long known for their feel and playability. When the new design and wedge
innovation, incorporated his PGA playing insight, and his PhD in
Engineering, the design staff stated, "These will be called the Lee Miller
Signature line!"
Feel Golf, already known for producing some of the
best feeling wedges in
the golf industry for the past 20 years - designed by Lee Miller and other
leading PGA Professionals - now blends the latest in advanced materials and
technology into a brand new design of its wedges and irons.
"We had a major break through in our Research and
Design - improving the feel and performance of our wedges after 20 years,
and with the help of a very powerful computer program, we were able to
merge the best of our existing muscle back design and the merits of our
cavity back into one very new and very effective wedge design," said Lee
Miller, CEO of Feel Golf. "This advance came about as we were working on
the new USGA and R&A 2010 groove rules and analyzing the cause and effect
of these new rules. As fellow PGA professionals, we realized to comply with
the 2010 groove rule; there would be a significant decrease in the short
game ability for all players, but primarily to the recreational golfer. The
new 2010 grooves are intended to decrease ball spin and the ability to
maintain good ball control and distance - especially from the rough and
bunkers.
Therefore, to minimize the loss of ball spin and
control expected to occur with the new groove ruling, we've had to make
some pretty significant and radical changes in this new design. We changed
metal composition, varied our head weight, distribution of mass, lowered
our center of gravity (sweet spot), changed production processes and for
the finale, introduced CNC "Micro Milled" face lines over the entire face
of our new wedges and irons. These conforming changes improve both short
game and overall performance by bringing back the majority of "ball to face
friction" therefore creating spin and ball control intended to be lost with
the new groove ruling.
Ultimately, we believe smaller grooves hurt the
typical recreational player far more than the Tour player. As PGA
Professionals, we always strive to maximize performance and feel and that's
a key benefit to our principal customers - the recreational golfer - Tour
player like performance and feel in our equipment to improve their overall
performance and enjoyment of the game.
Some retailers and International distributors have
begun placing their 2010 orders prior to the International PGA Show in
Orlando, FL, in January 2010 - that's how significant the impact the new
groove ruling is having - as well as the excitement being generated for the
improved performance changes in the design of our new wedges and irons."
