EastPoint Sports, a supplier of indoor and outdoor recreational sporting goods, has inked a licensing deal with Chippo Golf, a mashup game of golf and cornhole.
Under this new deal, Chippo will join EastPoint Sports’ family of brands and introduce two new products, Backyard Chippo and Chippo On the Go, to major retailers this spring. Each game comes with two fabric golf target boards, two clubs with spinning reversible heads, two turf-style chipping mats, and six foam-style golf balls.
Players set two Chippo boards 15 feet apart and “chip” the practice balls in three different targets. Players can compete in a series of different matches as they choose match play, cornhole style, or “six ball” scoring.
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017, in which Chippo reached its funding goal within hours of launch, co-founders Brendan McAuley and Matt Moss will offer new iterations of the original game through a partnership with EastPoint Sports.
“Bringing our wild idea to life has been such a surreal experience. We never could have imagined how far Chippo would go,” McAuley says. “Now, with the support of EastPoint Sports, both Matt and I are living our dream of making Chippo even more accessible to consumers through Target and Walmart.”
Backyard Chippo and Chippo On the Go are now available at Target and Walmart starting at $30.00.
