This
technology breakthrough will revolutionize the golf industry. Sun
Products has created a product that has all
the characteristics
of a professional golf ball in regards to feel, accuracy, distance
and conforms to official size and weight.
Now players throughout the
world will be able to enjoy golf hours past sun down.
Twilight Tracer is a regulation golf ball with an
inner core that contains proprietary circuitry, a lithium battery,
and two red LED lights that are programmed to flash at a rate of
7.2 flashes per second for a duration time of 5-6 minutes. The proprietary
design is motion activated by either striking the ball with your
club or dropping the ball from approximately 12 cm. You can follow
the ball from the moment it leaves the club face to its final destination.
The remaining
layers are made from conventional materials. The final
cover material is Surlyn which has been used by the golf industry
for decades.
Sun Products has been manufacturing inline hockey
products (Sun Hockey) and companion pet toys (Sun Pet Toys) for
the past 12 years. Since 1998, Sun Products has developed a full
line of dog and cat toys that features flashing lights and extended
glow materials. Now, the high impact lighted technology has been
incorporated into a golf ball. The opportunities are endless in
the golf industry. Twilight golf, night tournaments, driving ranges,
miniature golf, and practicing in the back yard are just a few examples
of how
to use Twilight Tracer.
