Travis, I don't always check this board and can best be reached at ballman@sweetspotgolf.net. I love golf, am learning to play better daily but have a way to go. Our new company is just getting going but I think aimed in the right direction to give younger players more choices that better reflect personalization of their lives, including golf. Our clubs are high performance but FUN! These aren't your Daddy's clubs.

As a start up company we are doing everything we can to get our Brand name out there. It's slow going but oh so worth it...

Travis, yes i've started a golf club design and manufacturing company with our sights set on changing the face of golf as it's played today. I'm not against tradition but i am an advocate of giving the consumer what they want. There is a new demographic playing golf these days and the status quo is not working for them... not everyone wants to be Tiger, Phil Michelson or annika... but are actually more interested in projecting an attitude much more in-line with their own personality... if you get a moment check out our web site at www.sweetspotgolf.net and see the Sweet Spot difference. We are not your Daddy's clubs...

Travis,

Thanks for inviting me into your network. I love boxing and follow the sport (did you see the manny coto fight!- Ouch!). It's rare for a world champ to reach out and very cool on your part. Do you golf?

Yes, this truly happening. Need to find a way to spend sponsorship money. FAST. Needs to be paid for and completed in the next 45 days. Open for discussion.
