CHAMP Zarma Partners With The New Difference Etonic Golf Shoe

 

September 27, 2011   Posted in News and Events, Product News

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.

“Etonic was looking for a spike that would complete our new shoe and the CHAMP Zarma certainly did make a ‘difference’. It is the perfect marriage of a performance golf shoe with a performance cleat,” states Tom Elwell CEO of Etonic. “We wanted traction and a CHAMP spike undoubtedly provides the best in traction. The bonus of the comfort element was a homerun for us knowing the Difference is launching to give golfers just that. This is a win-win relationship and we certainly are looking forward to watching golfers globally gravitate to the Difference.”
“CHAMP is proud to have the new Zarma Spike chosen for the Difference. The Zarma Spike will compliment the PowerUp Technology Outsole System increasing traction but will also give golfers comfort no other spike can duplicate,” states Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of CHAMP / MacNeill Engineering. “CHAMP has worked with Etonic for a number of years on traction technology options and our past experience with Etonic assures us that our Zarma Spike is in a product of quality and supreme craftsmanship.”

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.

“CHAMP is proud of how quickly the Zarma Collection has become a leader in golf accessories in its first year. We look forward to the upcoming PGA Expo in Vegas and showcasing our brand. This is a great opportunity to meet with our west coast and overseas distributors and customers to showcase our successful range of newly launched products,” states Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of CHAMP / MacNeill Engineering. “Each year we participate in the PGA of America trade shows we learn something new about the pulse of the industry, our business and the direction of golf in general. We regard this show as an important piece of our recipe for success and always look forward to the new opportunities it brings.”
