Feel Golf's Pro Releaseâ„¢ Grips Help Increase Distance, Gain Control And Improve Short Game
SANFORD, Fla. - Feel Golf Co., Inc., (OTCQB FEEL) one of the first to design performance enhancing golf grips, continues to see the popularity of their innovative "Pro Release"â„¢ performance golf grips continue to grow. The Pro Releaseâ„¢ is the 2nd generation of Feel Golf's extremely popular patented Full Releaseâ„¢ grip.
In a recent survey of golfers of all handicaps, including Tour professionals, 91% were very satisfied with the performance of Feel Golf's Pro Release grip, which was a 3% increase from their previous survey.
The Pro Releaseâ„¢ grip is designed to provide improved performance for the low & mid handicap and to prevent the better player from "getting stuck" while creating a more powerful release at impact. With the grip's smaller diameter, the grip is carried in the fingers as most good players do and not in the palm, which restricts the release causing loss of distance and control. The Pro Release also provides additional benefits for players that cannot grip a traditional size grip due to joint afflictions, such as arthritis as well as for players with smaller hands, such as ladies and juniors.
Of those surveyed, there were many features and benefits of the Pro Release that golfers liked. Some said the grip increased their distance by an average of 9 yards; the grip also improved their feel for chipping and their short game; and players felt more in control when swinging their driver using the grip.
Of the Pro Release grip users surveyed, 83% said it improved their total game, 71% said it reduced or eliminated their slice, 51% said their wedge play was much improved, and 29% said they now draw the ball instead of slicing it.
"As the survey results and our testing continue to show, the Pro Releaseâ„¢ will immediately increase your distance, your feel around the green and reduce your hook or slice," said Lee Miller, Feel Golf's CEO. "This new game improvement grip allows you to fully release the club to attain maximum club head speed and control."
Some of the key features and benefits of the Pro Release grip are:
• Immediate increase in distance
• Grip design provides faster release, more control and accuracy.
• Power generating release at impact for players who carry the club deep in the slot
• Smaller diameter in the top hand allows the grip to fit in your fingers, not your palm thereby reducing distance-robbing tension
• Shaft end of grip is thinner, providing flexibility to build up the shaft with grip tape and match each individual's unique grip preference
Miller said that Feel Golf is also using the survey feedback to improve the Pro Releaseâ„¢ grip design even more. The company will launch the 3rd generation of the grips in August.
"The 3rd generation Pro Releaseâ„¢ grips are made from a special polyurethane elastomeric compound versus natural rubber, which provides a much softer and better feel for player feedback," Miller said. "The new grip is a two-piece design, similar to a leather wrap grip; and the grips will be more tackier providing a better non-slip all-weather performance."
The new colors are: Black/Red - Black/Yellow-Black/White and all Black. The grip will be available as a single or in a 13 grip, hanging clamshell for retail display.

October 19, 2011 (Investorideas.com Energy Newswire) - Steve Palmer, chief executive of Toronto investment firm AlphaNorth Asset Management, scans the market for inefficiencies. And it pays off in the long term. While comparable market benchmarks are down as much as 46%, his small-cap fund has returned nearly 200% since its launch in 2007. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Palmer explains why his long-term vision makes him a continued believer in oil and uranium.

The Energy Report: About 30% of the AlphaNorth Partners Fund, which consists mostly of Canadian securities, was invested in tech stocks, with similar percentages in metals and energy the last time we spoke in May. What's the asset mix now?
Steve Palmer: Technology stocks comprise about 32%, metals 26% and energy 27%.
TER: Although the fund was down about 6.5% in August, it is up 23% for the year through August. It was down about 15% in September, but it's still positive on the year. What edge does AlphaNorth have that allows you to make gains in an economic climate that's as negative as this one?
SP: It's very difficult to make money when markets drop more than 10% in a month. We don't pretend to be able to make money in those kinds of months like we experienced recently and in the fall of 2008. However, since inception of the fund in December 2007, the fund has returned approximately 190% despite declines in the Canadian indices.
The Canadian indices that I use as benchmarks are both negative. The S&P/TSX Venture Index, which is the closest benchmark to what we do, is down 46% over that timeframe and the S&P/TSE Composite is down 5%. Despite the poor markets, we're still able to generate substantial returns over a long-term timeframe.
TER: What is your primary strategy for generating profits?
SP: Good stock picking. We've had some good calls on specific stocks. We've been able to sell them at the right time. We use technical analysis to help do that. We do some hedging in the Partners Fund at certain times when we think the market is vulnerable to a correction. That has helped cushion the downside and contribute to positive returns when the short positions work out.
TER: In the coming quarters, do you see yourself leaning more towards one of those sectors that you mentioned earlier, perhaps at the expense of another?
SP: No, not particularly. Given the correction, all of those sectors have been beaten down pretty good. There are a lot of bargains across the board now.
TER: Let's take a closer look at the energy portion of the AlphaNorth Partners Fund. What's the mix in terms of oil and gas, uranium, renewable and coal?
SP: It's mainly oil-focused. Coal would be the next most significant component and then iron ore and uranium.
TER: Uranium's off the radar for many investors given the events resulting from the tsunami in Japan earlier this year. Are you still a believer in uranium?
SP: Yes, I'm still a believer. Long term, the supply/demand should result in higher prices. China's still moving forward with building many new nuclear plants. There's a huge demand for power in many parts of the world. Uranium is, in many cases, the most practical way to add power. It's unfortunate what happened in Japan. It's created a negative investor sentiment in the short term, but the fundamentals are expected to be strong over the long term.
TER: Many uranium projects being developed need $50 uranium just to break even. The spot price for uranium is just above that now. Do you believe Chinese demand alone can bring uranium prices up enough to make smaller development projects sustainable?
SP: Chinese demand will account for probably more than half of total new demand over the next 10 or 20 years. We've been working through stockpiles from nuclear weapons, but that's pretty much depleted now. We do need new supply, but there are not many new uranium projects coming on.
TER: China's Sichuan Hanlong Group is in takeover talks with Bannerman Resources Ltd. (BAN:TSX; BMN:ASX), which owns two uranium development projects in Namibia. Uranium titan Cameco Corp. (CCO:TSX; CCJ:NYSE) is in the midst of a hostile bid for Hathor Exploration Ltd. (HAT:TSX.V), which has a high-grade uranium project in the Athabasca Basin. These are clearly cases of larger companies preying on smaller uranium companies beset by low share prices. Could it be time to take positions in uranium companies with near-term development projects?
SP: It just demonstrates that larger companies need to increase production and economic uranium deposits are very difficult to find. They are more difficult to find than many other commodities. The good projects are going to be in high demand.
TER: What are some uranium stories in the fund?
SP:Athabasca Uranium Inc. (UAX:TSX.V; ATURF:OTCQX) is one.
TER: It's not all that far from Hathor. It's about to begin a drilling program in the next few weeks. What are you expecting from that?
SP: I'm not expecting anything, but I'm hoping for good results. It's in the right neighborhood and there's obviously a lot of high-grade uranium and some very profitable mines close by. The company has a very small valuation; they have reasonable odds of success. I'm just hoping that the drills are kind.
TER: Do you have any holdings in Australia?
SP: We have a stake in Mega Uranium Ltd. (MGA:TSX) in one of our other funds.
TER: What do you like about that story?
SP: It's cheap. It has defined deposit in Australia, which is a good jurisdiction. It's not just a one-project company.
TER: Some of those projects are in locations that need some political will in order to begin mining. Do you see that happening?
SP: Yes. I think there's a decent chance that it will change. You need some political will in many areas for uranium. It's not something that people typically welcome. The permitting process can be quite long regardless of where you are.
TER: What are some oil and gas stories that are undervalued right now?
SP:Canadian Overseas Petroleum Ltd. (XOP:TSX.V) has assets in the North Sea, which is a good jurisdiction. Management has drilled wells there before and been quite successful. They have multiple locations to drill. It has lots of cash to complete the job. If you risked their drill targets, you still get a net asset value (NAV) over $1 a share. It's currently trading at $0.32.
I just saw some research yesterday from an analyst that has a risked NAV of $1.20. Assuming all of their drilling is successful, the potential NAV would be roughly $3.50. That's unlikely to occur because they are not going to be 100% successful. The end result will be somewhere in between those two numbers.
TER: Is there another intriguing name?
SP:Primary Petroleum Corp. (PIE:TSX.V) is very cheap and it has a lot of potential. Primary is an emerging play in Montana for the Bakken. It's a shale play that extends into Montana from Alberta. Several larger U.S. companies seem to be having some good success there. Rosetta Resources Inc. (ROSE:NASDAQ) and Newfield Exploration Corp. (NFX:NYSE) have been having a lot of success drilling in Montana. Primary has about 300,000 acres, which is quite large for a small company. It also recently signed a letter of intent with a U.S. major to farm in on the majority of their acreage where the partner will fund the exploration. Primary will have no requirement to spend any of its cash and it will benefit from the expertise and experience of its partner.
TER: What's your outlook for the energy sector?
SP: Energy is one of the commodities I favor. It's a resource that's gone once you use it, so you constantly have to keep finding more. The demand continues to grow.
TER: Thanks.

A trade!
You are welcome. I still consider myself to be on a steep learning curve, and owe most of what I have learned to reading these boards and asking questions when needed. The IFXY board is one of the best, and I've learned a lot here.
That can depend on a number of reasons. I will assume that you do not have an "all or nothing" on that order. That would be a big stopper to filling an order at the bid.
Bid sitting doesn't get you shares unless someone decides to offer shares at that price. The ASK price and volume have to accommodate the order for it to be a 'guaranteed fill'.
You probably just had other MMs in front of yours for the orders. I've heard rumors that exact volume buy/sell orders are filled before orders that have to be pieced together go through. I've also heard that an MM will sell to it's own customers before selling to other MM holders. These make sense, but I don't know if they are true.
There are also peeps that claim tricks are being played to try and get sellers to move PPS down or buyer to move bids up, but that is unlikely IMO.
Good luck.

Agreed! What's the deal?
Today, about 2:04 pm eastern.
That was me that took out his 55s River.
Have you not been paying attention?
I love it when someone posts their intent to sell out a huge holding. Grab those cheapies and we'll be back to .003 today!
Wish I had more $$ to spend.
GLTY dad! Come on Lee. Give us some news to send this in the right direction.
Catching up on FEEL posts and saw this from River.
That's the home town of Larry the Cable Guy. Maybe we should adopt Git R done for a FEEL slogan....
I drove right past on I-4 a couple weeks ago - it would've been nice to know FEEL was moving in there; I could've done some reconnaissance. Any central Floridians on the board?
I was catching up after a weekend off iHub, River. I'm sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with your and your family.
Bid and ask at .08 and then a 100 share trade. They need shares!!!
Thanks for the DD and all the hard work arpj1944!
Go NVSR!
Congrats River. Thanks for all the hard work!
Well, I welcome the newcomer. Hopefully those few hundred thousand shares are in his/her back pocket for a while!
Agreed. NVSR growing on the Buzz cloud!!
Thanks for pulling me over here River. I owe you big!
It's not pessimism. It's a figure of speech. We were up 10% when I wrote it. It was a rallying call. Again, chill out.
Chill out. I was just trying to show the value of spreading the word to the troops. I don't appreciate the sarcasm.
GLTY
I think we shot ourselves in the foot here. It was a great day, but I wonder what another 500K share day could've done!
Yesterday we got the word out, and I think some new buyers came in and saw how easily she moved. Today, we've had a big staring contest with only a few blinkers. There were 25 trades today with a steady walk-up of the PPS.
Hopefully the green close again today will trigger some signal watchers out there. News would set this off, it's wound tight.
Yeah, that's me with ETMM at .032 now. It's a good to fill order so I'll leave it there. I got half of them, but I was hoping NITE had more than 10K. Wish I'd slapped .033 and I prob would have gotten them all at .0325 avg.
I just got all of NITE's .032s with a partial fill. River add 10000 to my total.
NVSR number 8 on breakout boards!!
Boy, did this post get outdated fast!!! .030's posting!!
.029 is up!
NVSR on the 1-hr Buzz Cloud!! Looking big and green!
Raise your hand if you wish your bid-sitting had been ask-slapping back in the teens! [hand up].
I'm in trouble with etrade, and they won't let me buy with profits until the transactions completely settle. Anyone know if I can weasle out of the penalty box?
Agreed!! Great news. I wish there was something we could do to help him with his shorters problem.
NVSR about to get her legs. News out. Super thin and shares are scarce.
5 buys at 4 different PPS. This is thiiiiin.
NVSR picking up steam!!
River - Watch SKGP for a bounce call. It gapped nearly 100% on news, and has started back down. Closed at .008, opened today at .015, and reached .040. Now at .030 and downticking. GLTA.
Thanks for posting Doubloon. What did you think of it?
Wow! Someone is loading up!
News! AAVG acquisition news.
Looks like someone is loading a few. Maybe the news from two midnights ago has hit some eyes.
