He offers links lovers a swinging beverage

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Norwood - Jon Mason never imagined he would be in the sports/energy drink market one day. But as an avid golfer, Mason is the first to know the ball, like life, can bounce in funny ways.
Mason, a Norwood native, was in Real Estate and getting ready to go golfing with some friends in August 2004 when his life hooked off the proverbial fairway and he was on the way to the sports/energy drink business.

"One of my buddies said he was going to go get some swing juice," said Mason, a 1992 Norwood High graduate and baseball player for the Mustangs. "Instantly, bells and whistles went off."

Mason's realized at that moment that he was about to tee off on a new career.

Mason began researching how to go about producing and developing a golf energy drink, which he admitted he knew nothing about.

Mason does not have a science background and is not one to sequester himself in the basement mixing crazy concoctions. While he came up with the concept, he hired a company to develop the actual formula.

And the idea has worked.

Today, Mason is at it full time as president of SwingJuice. But lest the title conjure up images of leisurely days on the golf course, Mason is very much involved in the day-to-day operations of the company.

"I sort of wear all hats - from delivery guy to marketing and sales," said Mason, who now lives in Rhode Island. "It's an 80-hour-a-week thing now - at first it wasn't, but now it's full time."

After getting the inspiration for SwingJuice, Mason spent the better portion of two years trying to make the product a reality.

He started by buying every sports and energy drink he could find, plopping himself down at the kitchen table and looking over the ingredient lists.

"I knew I wanted it to be a hybrid drink - between a sports drink and an energy drink," said Mason. "I didn't want it loaded with caffeine and sugar in some drinks, and I didn't want the preservatives and sodium in other drinks."

Slowly, Mason developed the plan and found a company that, in 2005, began making samples for him.

"I wanted to find a perfect mix," said Mason.

Mason said he and his wife would again sit at the kitchen table going through the samples to find the right flavor and mix. He eventually settled on a drink containing vitamins D, B6 and B12 as well as gingko biloba, guarana, ginseng, taurine, and caffeine.

In January of last year, he launched the product at the Sony Open in Hawaii and said he got positive feedback from players and fans.

He has since signed deals with Roche Bros. and Whole Foods as well as a company in Asia to sell the product.

He also has a sponsorship deal with the Sony Open in Hawaii.

"We've carved out a little niche for ourselves, and we want to expand on that as much as we can," Mason said.
