Imagine watching an intense, seat of your pants action movie at your local theater. The story approaches the final showdown and a massive earth shaking explosion fills the screen with fire and debris. While this happens the room pressurizes, your seat shakes and your chest pounds and you feel like you are truly in the scene with the hero.

This type of movie going experience comes from a larger than life 30 foot wide, high definition picture and a multi million dollar, state of the art sound system. All of the technology built into this audio and video system is worthless with out a properly tuned room with the right acoustical treatments. The same can be said about a golf club. You can have the greatest driver head in the world, but if the shaft is not “properly tuned” to your swing, you will not hit that club to your greatest potential.

Whether it is the human voice, the string of a guitar, a glass bottle filled with water, or even the shaft of the golf club, all objects have a natural frequency or set of frequencies at which they vibrate when hit, struck, plucked, strummed or somehow disturbed. The most important aspect of building a theater is being able to control that sound and those frequencies through absorption, reflection and diffusion. Behind the walls of your favorite Cineplex are hundreds of fiberglass and foam panels designed to absorb, reflect or diffuse specific frequencies the speakers create. If this technology was not present in movie theaters, the sound would echo and bounce around the room creating a very unpleasant listening experience. It would be the equivalent of screaming in a cave and hearing your voice echo over and over again.

VDP Technology, which is built into every Tocare Tour T2 Golf grip, stands for Vibration Diffusion Pattern. Molded into the core of the grip is a patent pending diamond pattern design similar to those used in movie theaters to control sound frequencies. When striking a golf ball, the shaft of the club whether graphite or steel, has been disturbed, creating a natural frequency or vibration. As those frequencies travel through the shaft they pass through the traditional golf grip and enter the golfers hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders. This creates the “stinging” sensation all golfer’s have felt in their hands after a poorly struck shot. VDP Technology drastically improves feel and provides less stress on the body by “diffusing” those harmful and unwanted frequencies created by the golf shaft.
