For Consumers: A Glove With a Magnetic Ball Mark That Looks Good and Really Works

Magnetic ball mark gloves have been around for a while. The difference in this glove is that the magnet is in the tab closure (the hook and loop tab that secure the glove on the hand). It's a powerful magnet that holds the ball mark in position. Even if you should lose the ball mark, the glove looks fine with the attractive VF logo printed on the area where the metallic ball mark would be placed. Players can even substitute other metallic ball marks from ball fixers or hat clips, etc. if they so choose. The magnet in the tab is so strong it will accept any size ball mark.

Depending on where and how you purchase your Valley Forge golf glove, you may select an attractive VF (valley Forge) logo ball mark or a customized ball mark with a specialized logo on it. If you are interested in a customized ball mark read further for details about the program. It is offered to the golf trades but also to corporations and organizations who are interested. See the “trade” portion of this screen or call directly for more information.

Gloves will be available through various channels of distribution including on-course golf shops, off-course specialty golf retailers and sporting goods stores, direct marketing catalogers, corporate sales as premiums and incentives and mass retail markets including discounters and department stores. A trade PR and postcard campaign will support trade sales nationally and through mid-Atlantic states.

Valley Forge Launches New Magnetic Glove Ball Mark Programs With a Twist

The use of magnets and ball marks on golf gloves is not really new. The inventive twist that Valley Forge has added is that they have created a universal magnetized closure tab on their gloves that will accept virtually any type of metallic ball mark.

For instance, manufacturers of Divot Repair (tools) fixers who have ball marks attached; hat clips with ball marks; money clips with ball marks all require golf clubs and organizations to purchase a minimum quantity of die-cast ball marks. Now they can use any excess ball marks on Valley Forge Golf Gloves. The process of die-casting ball marks usually requires a minimum order of 250 or 500 pieces.

The Valley Forge tab works because the magnet is embedded in the glove's closure tab, the tab on the back of the glove that has the hook and loop closure material sewn to it. There is no recessed area to house the ball mark and therefore the ball mark itself can be any size, 3/4" or 1" is most common. This is possible because Valley Forge uses an extremely powerful magnet that holds its place without needing to be recessed like other glove manufacturers have used in the past.

Now golf clubs, driving ranges, event planners, corporations, clubs, resorts, organizations of all kinds can use Valley Forge Golf Gloves to complement ball mark programs that they already have in place.

Valley Forge offers the complete Customized Ball Mark Program as well. Buyers can purchase a minimum of 150 customized ball marks emblazoned with their logo or message and order as many accompanying Valley Forge Golf Gloves as they need. There are two popular glove models in the program to choose from: The All-Weather Synthetic Golf Glove and the Traditional Cabretta Leather Golf Glove.

For those customers who don't want a customized ball mark, Valley Forge offers its All-weather and Traditional Cabretta gloves with a simple antique finish VF logo ball mark. They are priced less than the Custom Ball Mark Program but all the other features of the gloves remain the same.

Valley Forge Sports, Inc. manufactures and markets Valley Forge Golf Gloves and accessories in the United States and abroad. Valley Forge specializes in synthetic and leather gloves sold through pro shops and other retail facilities. The company currently manufacturers and markets a line of winter gloves, traditional gloves, youth gloves, specialty gloves and most recently fashion gloves.
