CNT Tech announced a seed investment in Pros & Co., the developer of the low-compression golf ball brand "T-CORE." This investment marks the third joint investment made in collaboration with sports fund manager AC Pathfinder. Following their joint investments in Motion Care Company in 2024 and Workation in the first half of 2025, the two companies are strengthening their network for discovering and nurturing startups in the sports and leisure sectors.
Founded in 2023, Pros & Co. possesses core technologies including a swing data analysis engine, an AI-based ball recommendation and design model, a database integrating robot and human hitting test data, and low-compression golf ball OEM manufacturing technology. Furthermore, through collaborations with major domestic and international manufacturers and testing institutions, the company is establishing a product development and verification system that meets global specifications, thereby enhancing its technological competitiveness.
Pros & Co.'s "T-CORE" golf ball utilizes a twin-core structure with differentiated hardness and density between the outer and inner cores, enhancing flight acceleration, forgiveness, and feel. The high-hardness, high-density inner core enhances centripetal force and addresses the issues of low-compression balls, such as poor directionality and excessive spin, thereby ensuring both straightness and distance.
Pros & Co. recently achieved the top spot in low-compression golf ball sales on Coupang, demonstrating its market response and product competitiveness. The company plans to expand its lineup of low-, mid-, and high-compression golf balls based on AM solutions and material development, with a new product launch planned for February 2026. The product has passed the United States Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club (R&A), and its TwinCore technology has been patented in Korea.
Pros & Co. was selected for the sports accelerator program 'CNT Stadium' operated by CNT Tech in April of this year, and CNT Tech plans to continue providing follow-up support for TIPS recommendations, technological advancement, and business expansion.
