introducing the golfing community to our technology."
Frank Urban Zoeller, known to everyone by his nickname Fuzzy, is the
winner of eight PGA tour events, including the Andy Williams-San Diego Open

technology, including its popular wedges and famous Polar Balanced putter.
Terms of the five-year deal were not released, although they do involve cash
and stock options.

molecular bonding of dissimilar materials. The patented technology permits
golf club design with a "material advantage" that dramatically increases
putter moment of inertia and maintains optimum back spin for wedges, irons and
woods. The Carbite product line includes Polar Balanced Putters, CheckMate
Putters, Tour Insert Wedges, Tungsten Tour Irons, and Carbite Woods. For
