Winn Grips Taps Natalie Gulbis As LPGA Player Advisor  September 1, 2006

Gulbis had been playing with Winn grips for several months prior to signing with Winn. Playing with the Winn G8 grips on all her clubs, she placed an impressive second, narrowly losing a playoff, in the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic.

"The tackiness and feel of Winn grips cannot be matched," Gulbis declared. "I particularly like the way they hold up in rainy conditions. They are the best grips I have ever played."

WINN Grip Care

Winn Grips are made from a proprietary, space-age polymer. POLYMER IS NOT RUBBER. Therefore, Winn Grips should be treated and cared for in a different manner.

Cleaning a Winn Grip: Because Winn grips have absorbent properties, they may eventually soil from dirt and perspiration from your glove or hands. This does not affect the performance of the grip.

To clean a Winn grip, apply a small amount of water or rubbing alcohol to a soft towel, and gently rub the grips. Do not saturate the towel. Never use a brush and soapy water to clean a Winn grip because it may damage the top surface and destroy the tackiness and slip-resistance of the grip.

DO NOT immerse Winn grips in a bucket of water to clean them. This will saturate the underlying layer of the grip and may ruin the grip.

Grip Care in Wet Weather: When playing any grip in wet weather, do your best to keep your grips dry. In the event that the grips get wet, use a soft dry towel and pat the grip dry. Never rub a Winn Grip vigorously with a towel because this may damage the top surface and destroy the tackiness and slip-resistance of the grip.

Butch Harmon has played with Winn grips for the past six years and has been Winn’s company spokesman for the past five years. Butch is a staunch advocate of Winn grips because of the company’s innovative technology which he feels makes Winn better than any rubber grip available today. As Butch is an instructor of players of all ability levels, he also is a believer of Winn’s philosophy of providing “a grip for every golfer”.

During his career, Butch has had some nagging minor injuries that seem to cut his practice sessions length because of stress on his hands. Butch found that the shock absorption and slip resistance of Winn grips decreased the jolt to his hands and promoted proper grip pressure. The result was longer, more productive practice sessions because the properties of Winn promoted a tension free swing.

As company spokesman for Winn, Butch will not only be the face of Winn grips in our print, television and web advertising, but will continue to assist Winn in its product development through testing and feedback of Winn products.

During the 2004 off-season, Daly tried a set of V17-AVS Winn grips. He's been singing the praises of Winn technology ever since. In fact, Daly played the grips long before becoming Winn's PGA Player Advisor. Daly found Winn grips the most comfortable, tacky, and shock absorbing grips he has ever played. Dry conditions, hot conditions, wet and humid conditions-even downpours-Winn grips have always come through. Daly's hands have never felt better because Winn grips helped him avoid the wear and tear that normally comes with rubber. Stated Daly: "My hands have always hurt me when I would come out to the west coast at the beginning of each year. Specifically, they would crack when I played with rubber grips. With Winn grips they didn't crack and my hands didn't hurt."
"They are the best grips I've ever played."
