KENTWOOL KW Series Sport Socks

KENTWOOL KW Series Sport and Pro-Light Socks

Unrivaled Comfort

By David Theoret

With endorsements from the likes of Bubba Watson and Sir Charles Barkley, KENTWOOL is making some waves in the golf sock industry, and gaining market share! So too are their new KW Series and Pro-Light Socks.

For those of you not familiar with the brand, KENTWOOL is a 171-year-old, family-owned American textile innovator with six generations of experience. Their entry into the golf market was pretty much fueled out of necessity - or discomfort. CEO Mark Kent was playing in a competitive tournament with feet blistered and bleeding from poor golf socks. This spurned his desire to create "the world's best golf sock." And the rest as they say, is history.

KENTWOOL wants to help all golfers feel their best every step of the way. A unique feature found in every pair of KENTWOOL socks is WINDspun, a technology that infuses the fibers of the sock with air, providing an unrivaled amount of cushioning at micro-stress points along the foot. This enhances comfort and increases energy levels while helping reduce the risk of injury. The KW Series and Pro-Light Socks join the existing KENTWOOL line which includes the Tour Profile, Low Profile, Tour Standard, The Graduate compression and 19th Hole designs.

According to KENTWOOL President and CEO Mark Kent, "As a leading textile company, we are uniquely positioned to develop materials that push the envelope of performance. Sport and Pro-Light are examples of using the latest fiber technologies to take comfort, energy and blister protection to the next level."

Both Sport and Pro-Light incorporate a fresh design that showcases a sleek silhouette and details that are crafted from a 50/50 blend of the brand's superfine merino wool and bamboo for softness and advanced moisture wicking. Golfers who prefer the brand's Tour Profile will most likely favor the Sport; the Pro-Light model is fine knit for golfers seeking a thinner in-shoe feel.

In addition to Watson and Barkley, an increasing number of tour professionals are starting to sport the brand - Matt Kuchar, Brandt Snedeker, Jonathan Byrd, Peter Jacobsen, Duffy Waldorf, Jenny Suh and Meaghan Francella just to name a few.

All KENTWOOL products are made in the USA. The Sport and Pro-Light models are available for both men and women in a variety of color combinations and retail for $20.95. Like all KENTWOOL socks, they are backed by a 100-percent blister-free guarantee.

About: David Theoret

David Theoret has been in the golf and golf travel industry for over 10 years, primarily selling online advertising. For the past seven years, he has also been a golf writer, reviewing golf courses, resorts, destinations, equipment, golf apparel, and training aids - the latter of which never seems to help. David's articles and reviews have been posted on many golf travel and equipment websites.

Growing up in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, it was naturally assumed he would play hockey. Beginning at the age of 3 and continuing into his late 30's, he did just that. However, after one too many pucks to the head, he realized that golf was a lot easier on the body (whoever said hockey players were slow) and took the game up.

After moving to Florida and accepting a position with TravelGolf Media (now part of GolfNow) his love for the game grew exponentially. Most Saturdays you will find him on a course somewhere in Florida or on the practice range reinforcing his bad habits. David plays to a 10 handicap - unless there is money involved in which case it goes considerably higher. He currently resides in Lakeland, FL with his wife Belinda and their two "kids", Madyson and Molly.
