January 17, 2008 - Divix Golf introduces new Crossover putter
SAN DIEGO, CA - Divix Golf is proud to introduce what we believe will be the most forgiving and versatile putter on the market .The CROSSOVER Putter with Positive Forward Roll (PFR) technology. PFR means “no backspin” the performance of the Crossover is easily identified by watching the video www.crossoverputter.com which shows the putts stroked with the Crossover putter rolling end-over-end and the launch angle of the ball rolling horizontally , always remaining in contact with the grass . Todd Jones, President of DivixGolf manufacturer of the prestigious "Switch Blade Action" divot tools.” I believe the Crossover putter will give all golfers a better opportunity to make more putts, when all you need to do is read the putting line and adjust for speed.
The difficulty of producing and repeating a professional roll has been uncovered. The Crossover putter upon impact and release will perform to produce a higher quality of roll”. The putter was designed to eliminate some of the factors that complicate the putting stroke. The Crossover putter has an additional use off the green; you can putt the ball even when it is buried in the grass. In most cases the ball will release end-over-end. The Crossover putter is milled from 6061 aluminum and has a head weight of 360 gm and maximum weight of 400gm with stainless steel interchangeable weights. Each full weight is 14gm. each half weight is 7gm.the Crossover Putter is of mallet design with face balanced weighting that performs to an amazing higher (MOI) moment of inertia. The face Insert has a unique pyramid design which allows for a remarkable release of the ball even with a flawed stroke.

October 16, 2006 - Divix Golf, TGA Team Up to Make Ball Marks a Thing of the Past
SAN DIEGO, CA - A nightmare for every greens keeper at virtually every golf course in the world is the un-repaired ball mark left on the green when the ball lands. Well, two California-based companies are taking one giant step toward making the scourge of the putting green a dinosaur. Divix Golf, designer and manufacturer of a patented divot tool, Mini Hat Clip, and Groover, and Total Golf Adventures (TGA), the at-school, after-school golf program for youngsters K-8, have joined forces to try to make ball marks a thing of the past.
Divix Golf, based El Cajon, CA, has been selected to supply every participant in TGA programs across the United States with a Divix Mini Hat Clip along with a limited edition Custom Divix Tool and Hat Clip for the “Golfer of the Month” Award at every location.
“We believe education is one of the key weapons in ball mark repairs,” says Chad Kolakowski, Vice President Sales and Marketing for Divix. “By partnering with Total Golf Adventures, we are reaching out to new golfers at the earliest possible age and we are confident that once these new golfers learn how to repair the green with the proper tools, they will carry this throughout their golf life and turn ball marks into a complaint of the past.”
Divix Golf manufactures USA made, high-quality golf accessories used by PGA Touring Pros and all professional golfers worldwide. Divix is the manufacturer of the Original, Patented Switchblade Divot Tool, Mini Hat Clip and the new Divix Groover, (switchblade action groove cleaner and scribe with belt and bag holster).
Total Golf Adventures, an El Segundo (CA)-based company, programming extends beyond learning the game of golf and honing the golf swing. Children’s passion for the game of golf grows with a program that expands and improves their motor skills and coordination, encourages their advancement, and builds their confidence and self-esteem.
In addition, the TGA program promotes and teaches life values intrinsic to the game of golf:
• Respect – for the game, their partners, and the golf course
• Honesty – when learning the rules and etiquette of golf
• Teamwork – classes include competition, and skills contests
• Sportsmanship – good sportsmanship is fundamental to the TGA curriculum and is rewarded in classes
• Commitment and Integrity – to complete the designated TGA level.
TGA uses junior golf clubs in four different sizes and the Almost Golf, a new practice ball designed to be safe for children and easy to hit. Students’ sense of achievement and accomplishment is fostered as they move through a five-level program designated by the TGA colors. In addition to instruction during the five levels, students are introduced to the rules, etiquette, and fundamentals of golf; then transitioned to learning how to play on a golf course. Finally, the advanced level students are prepped to play competitively through TGA initiatives.
Total Golf Adventures has 31 national programs in 22 states. Since launching in fall of 2004, TGA instructors have taught more than 25,000 children in over 600 schools.

July 26, 2005 - DIVIX GOLF INC. Files Suit Against Remedy Golf and Bandwagon, Inc.
SAN DIEGO, CA - Divix Golf, Inc., manufacturer of DIVIX switchblade divot tools, filed suit today in Federal Court in San Diego, CA against Remedy Golf, Inc. for patent and trademark infringement. "The suit alleges that Remedy Golf is selling illegally imported divot tools domestically and has deliberately copied Divix's trade dress to confuse customers." The DIVIX switchblade divot tool is the most widely used switchblade divot tool across the many worldwide professional tours and the best-selling switchblade tool model at on and off-course golf shops in the United States.
The sale of the product was brought to the attention of Divix Golf, Inc. management by a consumer who purchased what he believed to be a DIVIX switchblade divot tool at a location in San Diego, CA. The consumer became concerned after using the product and examining the poor quality and lack of function of the product. The "Knock-Off " tools were verified to be infringing upon Divix Golf, Inc. products as were additional tools bought in several areas of the US including South Carolina and New Jersey. Remedy Golf is not an authorized manufacturer, licensee or distributor of DIVIX switchblade action divot tools and Remedy is alleged to be purchasing "Knock-Off" tools from China for resale in the US market.
"Infringing and counterfeiting golf products are a problem that has been present in the industry for years." said Chad Kolakowski, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Divix Golf, Inc. "It's a shame that people steal ideas and products and directly infringe on patents with no regards to originality and integrity. Protecting our patents and trademarks is a number one priority for us and will not be tolerated".
The original, patented, USA made, switchblade DIVIX tool can be recognized by a DIVIX logo stamped on the 410 stainless steel forks with a USA stamped below it. The quality of DIVIX tool is by far superior to "Knock-Off" tools due to their use of inferior quality material and substandard craftsmanship inhibiting tool functionality. Bandwagon, Inc. is also included in the infringement suit for their alleged unauthorized release of company proprietary molds for tool manufacture overseas. Divix Golf, Inc. currently manufactures all its products in the greater San Diego area with all it's labor force being based in the United States. |
