Golf Pride Unveils New Limited Edition Golf Grip To Support Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization
LAURINBURG, N.C. … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation announced today that Golf Pride® is releasing a limited edition pink and black DD2™ swing grip with 25 cents of each grip benefiting Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization™.
The specially designed pink and black DD2 grip is available exclusively at GolfPride.com/Y-ME. The new model features a pink breast cancer awareness ribbon and the word "empower" engraved into the black soft rubber compound, for an attractive visual effect to demonstrate how Y-ME empowers those touched by breast cancer with information and peer support.
"We are proud to have incorporated such a beautiful and meaningful design into one of our latest technologically advanced swing grips," said Jeff Fiorini, general manager for Eaton's Golf Grip Division. "Everyone knows someone affected by breast cancer and we are honored to continue working with an organization that brings empowerment and vital resources to those facing the disease and those who support them."
The DD2 was introduced for the 2007 golf season and is used by touring professionals as well as beginners. With an evolution in material placement and styling, the DD2 combines enhanced stability, ultimate comfort and reduced torque for consistent shot feedback. The molding technology provides torsional strength, which prevents the grip material from twisting or moving during the swing.
As part of Golf Pride's continued commitment to women's health, 25 cents from each sale of the black and pink DD2 designed grips will be donated to Y-ME.
