About
Today, we're swinging right into the heart of the golf industry with an up-and-coming brand that's turning heads – Gimme.
Jake Pratt is the brains behind Gimme. While he may be steering the ship solo for now, he's surrounded by a close-knit crew of mates, all creating a solid foundation for the brand's success. Jake's journey to the golf green took a detour through skateboard ramps and snowy mountain slopes. Not discovering golf until into his 30s, he felt an instant connection, likening the golf challenge to mastering a skateboard trick. The shared spirit of camaraderie between skateboarding and golf struck a chord.
The name? Gimme. A nod to putting, the name sprouted from Jake's background as a graphic designer. It's fun, catchy, and feels just right. Plus, they’ve got the trademark to prove it! But it wasn't all smooth sailing for Jake. Two years of dedication went into research and design, a journey punctuated by hits and misses with manufacturers. Yet, resilience led him to the right partner, ensuring golfers everywhere got grips offering a consistent feel. As for design inspirations, imagine a blend of coastal vibes, traditional tattoos, and a sprinkle of personal touch! Roark, a brand close to Jake's heart, adds a dash of muse to the mix.
Buckle up because Gimme's journey is far from over. On the horizon? A authentic leather glove and an iron grip line that promises both quality and flair. Jake's vision isn’t confined to just products. His dream? Seeing Gimme shining in nationwide stores, making a splash in big tournaments, and above all, paving the way for everyone to experience golf's magic. With an eye on building a foundation that offers young ones an early start to the sport, Jake's mission is clear: Make golf accessible and delightful for all.
Why we like them:
Diverse design inspirations: Jake Pratt, the founder, brings in elements from skateboarding, coastal lifestyles, and traditional tattoo designs to create unique and eye-catching grip an apparel graphics.
Exciting expansion plans: With the introduction of authentic leather golf gloves and an upcoming iron grip line, Gimme Grips continues to innovate, ensuring golfers always have something new and high-quality to look forward to.
Quality commitment: The two-year R&D journey, coupled with the perseverance through multiple manufacturers, showcases the brand's commitment to delivering only the best quality products.
