February 9 - Don't Sweat It

Tite_Grip_LG.jpgDoes that four foot putt for birdie make your knees quake and palms sweat? We haven’t found anything for the shaky knees yet, but now there’s a solution for the sweaty palms. Tite Grip, (www.handssweatnomore.com) is an amazing solution that brings dryness where you need it most: Your grip.

Apply a small amount of Tite Grip to your hands, rub them together, and instantly moisture will be drawn away. After a brief period when they feel a little sticky, your hands will become dry and stay dry. Ever put gymnast chalk or talcum powder on your hands? Tite Grip gives your hands the same sensation, without the powdery mess.

Whether you play golf, baseball, tennis, or any other sport where dry hands mean a better grip and more success, or you just want to shake the boss’s hand without watching him wipe it on his trousers, keep a tube of Tite Grip handy and victory will never slip through your grasp.

June 1 - They'll be Doing Back Handsprings

handspring.gifIf you’ve got children who are gymnasts, wrestlers or cheerleaders, you may not know it, but they probably owes a lot of their success to Resilite Sports, (www.resilite.com). Resilite started out in the wrestling mat business. Prior to the 1950’s wrestling mats consisted of a smashed-down pile of horsehair, crammed into a canvas cover. They were nearly impossible to keep clean and mat burns were not only common but wrestlers also had the constant threat of infection. Then in 1959, Warren Tischler started a mat company in Sunbury, Pennsylvania. He perfected a new type of wrestling mat manufactured with PVC Rubber Nitrile foam covered with a PVC vinyl painted surface. This new type of wrestling mat was more resilient, lighter, and safer than the old canvas mats. To prove his mat had better shock absorption, he would drop an egg onto the surface of the mat from as high as a second story building and the egg wouldn't break.

Resilite now has a full line of mats and padding, as well as cheer and gymnastic training aids. The back handspring spotter enables beginning students to learn the basics of back handsprings practically on their own. Now, thanks to Resilite, your cheerleader or gymnast can flip to their heart’s content, even when you’re not around.
