Game Theory to Launch the Digital Shield(R): The Golf Glove for the Other Hand
MONTREAL, April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Finally, an elegant
solution to a problem that plagues golfers: blistering and chafing of the thumb, middle and index finger of the exposed bottom hand (the right hand fora right-handed golfer or left hand for a left-handed golfer).
Game Theory Inc. introduces the Digital Shield(R), a streamlined, open-palmed glove for the bottom hand, created to protect against blistering and chafing while maximizing tactile sensitivity. It is the only glove of its kind thatconforms to USGA and R&A Rules.
Game Theory President Justin Salomon says, "I was susceptible to chafing on my
off hand and suspected I wasn't alone. After talking with hundreds of weekend golfers, pros and golf instructors, we knew we were on to something."
The Digital Shield(R) subscribes to the principle, "Less is more." Combining functionality with modern design, the glove provides protection to vulnerable
areas of the bottom hand, but safeguards a golfer's touch by reducing weight
and coverage to an absolute minimum. The Digital Shield(R) is remarkable for
what it doesn't have.
Until now, remedies used to shield from rubbing against the club's grip have
included Band-Aids(R) or adhesive tape. Both tend to roll-up or shift with
repeated swings and leave a sticky residue. Replacement bandages are even less
effective as they often do not properly adhere to a perspiring hand.
Alternative solutions like the full and half-fingered glove are unnecessarily
hot and compromise feel for the club and ball.
Salomon added, "By reducing the incidence of blisters, the Digital Shield(R)
fosters the additional enjoyment of golf and improves athletic performance by
allowing golfers to play golf in more comfort. The points of contact on the
off hand are no longer vulnerable to blisters, chafing, and the discomfort
that distracts a golfer from focus, play, and pleasure. In addition to a round
of golf, the Digital Shield(R) is well suited for the driving range where
golfers pound out one ball after another."
The Digital Shield(R) is scheduled to be launched for the summer 2008 season
and made available at top pro shops, golf specialty shops and sport stores
worldwide. Distributors and retailers may contact Game Theory Inc. at (514)
369-8931 or info@GameTheoryInc.com.
