    Will MacKenzie Posts Fifth Top 10 Finish with Boccieri Golf Secret Grip

    Will MacKenzie is on the move up the leaderboard in 2014 with Boccieri Golf’s Secret Grip in hand. Will finished T-2 at the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio last week, one shot behind first time winner Steven Bowditch.

    secret-grip-putter-boccieri-golf-photoThat’s his fifth top 10 finish since switching to the Boccieri Golf Secret Putter Grip in January. Total earnings since the putter grip switch? $1.78 million and 11th position on the FedEx Cup points list.

    MacKenzie’s +1.910 strokes gained putting for the week is reflected in the single eagle and 16 birdies he carded over four rounds.

    Will chose the popular “Classic” model from Boccieri’s line of counter balance Secret Putter Grips. The Classic model employs a traditional profile, slim appearance and weighs 100 grams.

    The Secret Putter Grip from Boccieri Golf automatically counter balances any putter for improved stability, consistency and control on the greens.

    Stephen Boccieri, Founder and CEO of Boccieri Golf is the industry leader in counter balance golf club aka “back-weight” technology,

    “We’ve been educating players about the science of counter weighting for 10 years, and now everyone can experience the performance benefits by simply installing a new grip on their own clubs,” says Boccieri. “This popular trend on the PGA Tour actually benefits players of any skill level. They can simply install the Secret Putter Grip on their putter and improve their putting instantly, without changing their stroke.”

    Close inspection reveals the Secret Putter Grip actually raises the club’s balance point, moving it closer to the player’s body core. That makes it easy for the player to use their larger, more stable muscles. The result is a highly repeatable and more reliable putting stroke.

    boccieri-golf-secret-grip-golf-digestThe Secret Grip’s weight is achieved by molding a proprietary tungsten weight in the end of the grip, and using a rubber compound 40-percent heavier than other grip materials.

    Secret Putter Grip models are now available in three sizes – Classic, Midsize and Jumbo. The Classic ($19.99) weighs 100 grams and was designed for a player who prefers a traditional sized grip and wants to experience the benefits of counter balancing.

    The Midsize ($24.99) weighs 155 grams and features popular pistol shaping, while the Jumbo ($24.99) weighs 165 grams and is preferred by players seeking a grip with an extra thick feel and discernable counterweight feel.

    The Secret Putter Grip line is currently available alongside the full-swing version at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, PGA TOUR Superstore and www.SecretGrip.com.

    Jack Nicklaus, who says he relied on counter balanced clubs to capture 73 PGA Tour titles and 18 major championships endorses the Boccieri Golf Secret Grip. Jack appears in promotional material, along with famed teacher Rick Smith, who consistently ranks among the world’s top-10 instructors.

    Both the putter and full-swing lines have earned outstanding reviews from scores of leading media outlets, including “Top Products from the PGA Show” honors from Golf Digest and GOLF Magazine.

    (Scottsdale, AZ) – Boccieri Golf has tapped Jack Nicklaus to help launch the Secret Grip, a patented technological breakthrough that allows players to easily back-weight their clubs, similar to the way Nicklaus did during his career, winning a record 18 professional majors and 73 PGA Tour titles.

    The Secret Grip represents the first time in nearly two decades that Nicklaus has given his personal endorsement to equipment not under the Nicklaus Golf banner. Mr. Nicklaus will appear in promotional materials for the product and use it on his own clubs.

    “Throughout my career, all my golf clubs were back-weighted,” Nicklaus said. “The main benefit was that it helped slow down my hands and reduce dispersion. There are a lot of people who could benefit from the philosophy that I used and that is why we have been working with Boccieri Golf. If we can make the game easier and thus more enjoyable for people, that’s not only a good thing for them, it’s good for the game of golf.”

    The Secret Grip is designed to be installed quickly and affordably on every manufacturer’s clubs. Its heavier weight raises the club’s balance point, promoting consistent crisp contact for greater control and distance. The grip is manufactured with a tungsten weight in the butt-end and uses a grip material compound that’s 40-percent heavier than materials used in today’s other grip products.

    “Extensive research and testing has proven that counter-weighting helps everyone from the high-handicapper to all-time greats like Jack,” says Stephen Boccieri, President and CEO of Boccieri Golf. “With the Secret Grip, players benefit from our unique weighting system without changing the brand or style of golf club they prefer.”

    Prototypes of the Secret Grip were unveiled last year and garnered praise from dozens of leading media outlets. This included receiving “Top Products from the 2012 PGA Show” honors from Golf Digest and GOLF Magazine. Recent consumer launch-monitor testing of more than 500 players showed 95 percent reported a strong preference for the Secret Grip versus traditional grips.

    Additional advantages offered by the Secret Grip ($16.99 each) include:

    • An additional inch of grip length, allowing players to grip-down for improved play around the green or on uneven lies

    • The built-up lower section — often preferred by PGA Tour players — eliminates additional layers of grip tape

    The Secret Grip is the newest product in a line of pioneering equipment from Boccieri Golf that includes the popular Heavy Putter collection, along with the critically acclaimed “Control Series” of full swing clubs.

    The Secret Grip can be purchased at www.boccierigolf.com right now. Beginning in March, the Secret Grip will be available at Dicks and Golf Galaxy retailers nationwide.

    If you’re traveling to Arizona, visit the Boccieri Golf Research and Performance Center at 15816 North Greenway-Hayden Loop in Scottsdale, just down the street from the TPC Stadium golf course.
