OnCore’s OmenTM Puts a New Spin on the Golf Ball

BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OnCore Golf Technology, Inc. announces that the Omen^TM, the world’s only hollow metal core golf ball, is now available for pre-ordering on the OnCore website (http://shop.oncoregolf.com). Shipments are expected to begin in mid-May.

“Our objective is to make the game more enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels”

The Omen^TM was officially launched at the Ruben Brown Classic in Anguilla (British Virgin Islands) where OnCore was the golf ball sponsor. Despite high winds and a very challenging course with narrow fairways, the Omen^TM was praised by golfers and celebrity players at the tournament including Rick Barry, NBA great and three time ReMax World Long Drive champion, Roberto Clemente Jr., sports broadcaster and philanthropist, and Temryss Lane, former professional women’s soccer player and Fox Sports announcer.

Steve Coulton, OnCore’s cofounder and vice president, commented: “The conditions in Anguilla were far from ideal but provided solid evidence that all of the research and development that has gone into the Omen^TM was worthwhile. We had a number of the golfers comment on how much straighter their tee shots were and the improved putting on some very treacherous greens. “

“The Omen^TM is a patented ball unlike any on the market today,” according to Doug Dufaux, vice president of technology and inventor of the ball. “We believe that this ball is, by far, the straightest off the tee and the most accurate for the short and putting games. By designing with a proprietary hollow metal core and advanced polymeric mantle and cover materials, we have created a ball that will show reduced side spin while maintaining desirable backspin properties.”

“Our objective is to make the game more enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels,” said Bret Blakely, OnCore’s vice president of marketing and cofounder. “There are roughly three million people who give up golf each year because they become frustrated by the game’s difficulty. We hope to bring those golfers back into the game and help the sport recruit and retain new adherents by increasing their enjoyment of and satisfaction in playing this great game.”
