"There are three responses to a piece of design – yes, no, and WOW!    

Wow is the one to aim for."

One of us invented something pretty cool for golf (I bet you can guess which one) and was granted a US Patent. 

Why a tool for golf?

"There's a reason golf-course superintendents dress like Power Rangers when they spray the golf course..."

"freakishly green wall-to-wall grass on a life-support system of too much water and toxic chemicals…" John Barton -- Golf Digest

You really want that on your hands?

Not a nice place to let your grips get wet!

Hit a drive, ride down the cart path, grabs two clubs, walks to the ball, "D a r n, wrong club,"  head back to the cart for another stick, "I left it at the last hole I got to go back".

If they're lucky they left that club at the last hole.  They may have lost that club in the grass the last time they played.  Club Houses have "Lost and Founds filled with unclaimed Pings, Nikes, and Clevelands oh my!

They'll be buying a new club, which brings up the two biggest surveyed complains about golf, cost and slow play, accounted for the vast majority of responses.

The  Club Relaxer 'Xcaliber' designed keeping with continuity of the sport, gets: your clubs out of the grass and in sight, this prevents loss of clubs, and speeds pace of play.

 Xcaliber relaxing multiple clubs

"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." 

- Steve Jobs

We have beta tested the Xcaliber with over 1000 units in use to ensure unprecedented performance.

That's why we can state that for our Indiegogo backers and our Indiegogo backers only "We will replace or repair the Xcaliber if it malfunctions under normal sane use for as long as you own it period".

The Three in golf outfits and clubs

beta tester???

We now need to produce large scale.

-- We've arranged  with a highly dedicated assembly and fulfillment company to ensure the same high standard we're producing now,

--We need new tooling for the Club Holder Hook and Turf Piercer Tip,

-- and for club continuity, we want to develop the "Guinevere" Graphite and   "Lady in the Links" Titanium.

    

Shaft are not always the exact same dimensions so the tip has to be custom fitted to that shaft run from our supplier each time.

If we order a larger shaft run the tip dimensions will be sized that much less saving a lot of time and set up cost.

The club holder hook in formed by hand and hand formed is a great attribute in marketing but a mold for the hook is much faster and could allow for a higher tinsel steel to be used at an over all lower cost.

Large run for the custom grips and hardware will of course lower the per piece cost for those items also.

the +6 for people over six feet tall and the -6 for under six feet tall

Funding for this project will pay for the club holder molds, tooling for the tips, custom grips, shafts, club holder and tip manufacturing, packaging, assembly and order fulfillment.  The goal amount is set to cover the "Minimum First Tier Order Quantities" and production runs for 1000 units plus the new molds and tooling. Our Stretch Goal would be a production run for 5000 units, for that we need to tell a lot of friends--lil' help, you do the math.

Indiegogo backers have been outstanding at developing awareness and networks for great projects, if you're a golfer or you may know a golfer, this is the ultimate tool, join us in scaling up the Club Relaxer. 

Thank you for your time,
