Hey Pure Grippers,

Here at PURE grips, we run so many great sweepstakes and contests to give back to our customers, it’s understandable if you miss one here or there. But we don’t want that to keep you from having a chance to win cool gear - especially when it’s so easy to enter and win. 

Right now we’re in the middle of the “Kick Up Your Style” sweepstakes with our partners at Kikkor Golf. To help make sure that our customers look good playing the game that they love, we’re giving away a pair of matching golf grips and shoes. Guys have a chance to win a set of light blue PURE grips with black paint and Kikkor Eppik 3.0 Blue Jay shoes, while women get a set of white PURE grips with pink paint and Kikkors Tour Classe white magenta shoes. With matching shoes and grips, you not only get great gear, you also get style to spare!

All you have to do to have a chance to win is to go to our Facebook page and enter the sweepstakes. It’s that easy. 

But don’t let this style pass you by. The contest ends on November 11 and winners will be announced on the 12th, so make sure to get your entries in. To keep tabs on the contest, check back or subscribe to our blog for updates. 

Good luck and happy golfing!

PURE grips

Here at PURE grips, we’re always looking for ways to give back to our customers and the greater golf community. After being invited to the Miura Cup in China this year, we got inspired to try and duplicate that amazing experience for our customers. 

Now we knew that if we were going to put on an awesome golf tournament, we had to go big.  We’d need tons of prizes, at least one celebrity, a great golf course and, of course, a bunch of winners to enjoy it all! Luckily for us, we don’t do anything halfway. 

Finding the Right Course
The first step was finding the right course. With over 250 golf courses in the Phoenix area, this wasn’t easy. We eventually decided on the Talking Stick Resort, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision.  With a hotel, casino, great dining and, in the words of Hank Haney “the best golf course I have been to in the Phoenix area,” we knew we’d found the perfect spot. 

The Perfect Celebrity
Speaking of perfect, with our new partnership with golf legend Hank Haney having started in January, how could we go wrong? This wasn’t just any celebrity. This was an expert on the golf swing offering to give a free clinic. Our contest winners were in for a real treat. 

The Lucky Winners
Next we needed some winners to enjoy everything we’d put together. First we selected 10 winners from customers who’d entered the contest on our Facebook page. Two winners were chosen by Golfsmith (one on their Facebook page and one from an in-store drawing).  One winner was selected by posting a new thread on GolfWRX about which PURE grips they liked the most. And the final two winners were chosen by posting a picture of their tackiest golf outfit on our Facebook page. 

So what did they win? 

In May of 2012, I made a return trip to China and Japan to play golf and work with the Miura team.  This time there were two main differences from the first time I visited. First, I had samples of the first production of our Miura design grip, as well as samples of the Miura KJ Choi Special Edition grips to share with the Miura folks, and second, we made a stop in Hainan to meet our new partners at the Hank Haney Academy at Mission Hills. 

The Miura grip is a unique and innovative design available only from Miura Giken. This grip is supple, sticky, and very cool looking - as you can see in the picture of my pink blades.  By the time I returned to China, we had also begun to make a custom Miura version of our PURE Pro for the Miura Golf team and their dealers outside Japan.  This led to our involvement with the KJ Choi Special Edition Miura CB 501 sets that Miura Golf produced to commemorate KJ’s win at The Player’s Championship using the Miura irons.  We were honored to be involved, and the clubs look fantastic! 

As you can see, the partnership between Pure grips and these two fine companies had really begun to grow. In one year we had taken a design concept and commercialized it for Miura Giken, and offered a custom option with Miura branding in a variety of 10 colors for Miura Golf.  I don't think that any other grips company could have done this!

Hey PURE grippers,

If you’ve followed us over the past 1-2 years, you probably already know about our burgeoning relationship with the legendary Miura golf brand. However, I wanted to take this opportunity to formally introduce our great friends and business associates at Miura Golf and Miura Giken, and to give a little background on how this great partnership came about.

In my travels and business dealings, I’ve noticed that the Miura name is surrounded by a good deal of mystery, so I want to shine some light on the Miura brands, businesses and, most importantly, their golf equipment. I believe that my experiences and travels over the last couple of years are a perfect backdrop to introduce the Miura legacy and share my experience with their clubs.
