STEP into Golf is training wheels for golf
Golf is one of the most popular sports worldwide.
There is no effective training system for junior golfers.
STEP into Golf is an effective USGA approved
training driver for junior golfers.
WHAT IS STEP INTO GOLF
• STEP into Golf is a golf
equipment start-up
specializing in golf drivers
for children.
• The “STEP into Golf” training
system is so easy and
simple even those with
limited golf knowledge can
teach their children how to hit
any golf driver effectively.
• The slotted driver is USGA
conforming and is able to be
“STEP aimed” in USGA
competition play.
HOW STEP INTO GOLF WORKS
• STEP into Golf’s patent-
pending technical advantage
is the placement of a slot at
the back of the golf driver.
• The slot in the driver allows
the ‘teacher’ to position
themselves behind the ball
and in front of the ‘learner’,
maintaining control of the
golf driver and helping to put
the learner into a proper
address position.
THE PROBLEM
• Children are not spatially aware,
and proper address positioning is
extremely important in building
a strong golf swing.
• There are very few effective golf
training aids for children.
• Existing golf training aids do not
provide a platform for letting
teachers help golf students learn
correct address positioning.
• A large market exists for
children’s clubs, but options for
training clubs are limited.
THE SOLUTION
• Positioning the youth golfer into a
great address position is easy with
STEP into Golf.
• STEP into Golf is a patent pending,
effective platform for teaching
children how to hit a golf driver.
• STEP into Golf positions the
‘teacher’ behind the club and in
front of the ‘learner’ providing the
most effective platform for
teaching children proper address
position.
• The Slotted Driver is a combination
of a training aid and a USGA
conforming playable golf driver.
MARKET
• Golf has no borders, it is a
wildly popular sport globally.
• According to the National Golf
Foundation, there are more
than 40 million golfers in the
U.S. alone.
• More than 22% of the golf
demographic are junior golfers
aged 4-17, many of whom are
first time golfers looking for
training aids and tools.

Editor's Notes

  1. Overarched technology, The Slotted driver, a better shape in golf.
  2. Brian: At 40,000 clubs this is only 0.1% of the total market
  3. Move snag, dot, j&m to the top, “orange whip?”, etc.
  4. Change to year 1 etc
  5. 6/19 – add reference to Patents Pending where it best works - include other retailers (mentioned on STEP website)
  6. Brian is sending bios by EOW – 5/24
  7. Accessing JR market means the ability to gain & retain customers at the earliest possible time.
