Angel Capital Group Invests in Second Round of OnCore Golf
Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) August 17, 2014 -- OnCore has developed a remarkable hollow-steel core golf ball with all the characteristics of champion play balls, but with a dramatic reduction in hooking and slicing. OnCore received its USGA approval in October of 2013 and represents the first great advance in golf ball technology since the advent of tuned dimple patterns.
Buffalo-based OnCore has extensively patented its innovations. OnCore launched its highest performing hollow metal core ball, the MA-1.0, at the 2014 PGA show. The ball was named one of the Top Products of the show by the Golf Channel. Keith Blakely, Chairman of OnCore Golf, said, “We’re delighted that ACG’s early stage investment produced increased confidence and interest in OnCore, so much so that an equity participation became the natural next step for them. We’re very excited about the future of our business and the role that ACG has taken in helping to finance our transition to commercial success has been tremendously helpful.”
Eric Dobson, CEO of Angel Capital Group, elaborated on the advantages of the company, saying, “OnCore hit all of our buttons, great management, clear vision, proven execution, great product, and a strong IP position.”
