ROTATER GUYS GO TO VEGAS
In September, Scott and I went to the PGA expo in Las Vegas. The PGA expo is an event that brings professionals from the golf world (course owners/managers, teaching professionals, golf shop owners, sponsored professionals, golf publication editors/owners/writers, etc.) in contact with vendors and suppliers of golf-related products and services. These events are not open to the public.
LOT OF INTERESTING PEOPLE
Scott and I have quite a bit of fun at trade shows. We are both “people” people, so it is very easy for us to meet and interact with others while demonstrating the Rotater. For us, a PGA show had been the last venue that we thought would use or benefit from the Rotater. Boy, were we wrong!
We met a number of interesting people there:
- a former amateur winner of the U.S. Open – he uses the Rotater daily
- a long drive champion – another avid user (look for a testimonial soon)
- magazine owners/writers/editors – we have done an interview for one publication set to be released in the spring
- a television show host – who has contacted us about appearing on his show this spring
- PGA teaching professionals
SENIOR PROFESSIONAL GIVES TESTIMONIAL
One of the golfing professionals who tried the Rotater and immediately recognized its benefits was Dusty O’Tyrrell. He has contacted us a number of times and has told us that he has developed some golf-specific exercises with the Rotater. The following is an email that we received from Dusty yesterday.
Hey Rotater Guys,
Just a quick note to tell you about how this thing has worked out for me. As I told you a while back, my right shoulder rotator cuff and shoulder joint were injured in a fall from a chair that had broken. After checking into the surgery aspect I found out that doing surgery was completely out of the question.
So, its into physical therapy and other exercise stuff to get this thing to heal. My Doc had told me that with proper therapies, I would likely heal well in a three to four year period. Why so long you did not ask? Because as a professional golfer, the use of this shoulder is paramount to my making a living. I must play and practice every day. It’s my JOB! And it ain’t that glorious either. It’s a JOB. Hot, sweaty and physically draining. It’s supposed to be mentally draining as well but I’m not very mental. And to think, I gave up an office job for this!
Well anyway, I met you guys and the Rotater and this little beauty has become my three to four times a day shoulder exercise device. My range of motion has improved immensely and I use it on both shoulders, even though only the right one was injured. My Doc loves this thing because it causes the shoulder to move correctly in the directions necessary for the correct exercises. I am now back to playing (and note: the fellows who had surgery NO LONGER PLAY and are on restricted cortisone use!) and my strength and stuff is just as it should be.
As I’ve told you, I tell everyone who’ll listen about it…the Rotater, and let them use mine…but not keep it! Don’t know how many have contacted you but I tell them use my name and maybe you’ll give them a special deal! What the heck…it’s worth a try ain’t it?
So there you go. I’m a great fan of the thing and will remain so.
Best to both of you,
Dusty O’Tyrrell
