Golfer Improves Shoulder Flexibility with the Rotater
September 1, 2009
Shoulder pain while sleeping is common and frustrating
“Back in 2007 I started experiencing pain in my right shoulder mostly at nights while sleeping. Being someone who loves to play golf this became a concern especially since several friends and my wife all had shoulder surgery.
I ended up seeing my doctor and found out I had bone spurs in my shoulder that were rubbing and irritating my rotator cuff. Of course after surgery there’s physical therapy. I was in physical therapy for about 2 months and everything went really well, but I wasn’t back to the same flexibility in my shoulder as before even though I continued to do the exercises.
At the Jan. 2008 PGS Merchandise show in Orlando, I was at the Rotater booth and listened to what Chris Melton had to say about the Rotater. Sounded interesting but I didn’t do anything at first.
Full shoulder turn with no pain
After wallking around the show for awhile, I decided to buy one and give it a try.
I’ve been using the Rotater nearly everyday now and my shoulder flexibility has improved and is greater than before the shoulder surgery. As a golfer this is important for generating distance and control.”

Golfer says, “The Rotater adds distance”

Glen Taylor swings with confidence - thanks to the Rotater
“The Rotater helps me by increasing my flexibility therefore giving me greater range of motion on my golf swings, boosting my confidence and trust of my swing and best of all adding more distance. I recommend the Rotater to any golfer or athlete whether they are professional or amateur.”
Glen Taylor, 10 handicap
Long Driver Increases Shoulder Flexibility and Loses Shoulder Pain
July 9, 2009
“I’ve been using the Rotater every second day and use it while warming up before a round. I’ve been in AZ for the past month and had an interesting experience.
It was a long par 4, 485 yds. I hit driver – lob wedge. Usually I would have driver – 5 or 6 iron.
So the Range of motion increase and the flexibility was noticeable to me. I’ve also had less soreness in the shoulder where my old football shoulder separation was.
It seems that the Rotater is helping breakdown the scar tissue that gave the shoulder some of its stiffness and pain.”
Bob Orr, Long Drive Consultant
Stats for Bob Orr
- Longest drive in competition – 376 yards
- Longest drive ever – 408 yards – on the 10th hole at Industry Hills
- Winner Nitro National Senior Long Drive 1997
- Current age 61 years
- Average driving distance – a little over 300 yards
- Problem Calcium and scar tissue build up from former football shoulder separation had restricted my flexibility. The Rotater used daily for 6 months at 10-15 minutes daily alleviated the majority of my pain and increased my flexibility by 40% Plus.
Update from Bob
“Your Rotater has been the best rehabilitation for my shoulder. the old football injuries that gave me a stiffness has been relieved and my shoulder rotation for long driving the golf ball has been great. Not many 61 year old guys can get it out over 320 yds which I did last week at a charity event fundraiser for Lukemia.”

Opelika business product featured
The Rotater, created and marketed by area businessmen Scott Kay and Chris Melton and marketed by the Opelika company Joint Mechanix LLC, has been named “golf product of the month” by 1StopForGolf.com.
Shoulder rehab device is in the news
Kay, an avid motorcycle racer who has broken his shoulders three times, invented the rehabilitation and stretching device for shoulders.
After his last surgery, he wanted to speed up the rehabilitation process and found nothing available that could reproduce the sensations the he felt during physical therapy. He said that doctors and therapists encouraged him to patent the device after they saw what it did.
The device increases the shoulder’s range of motion by passively stretching the shoulder’s internal and external rotation. Kay said it increases the shoulder’s flexibility for sport-specific activities and can effectively warm up the shoulder before sporting events.

PGA Pro praises shoulder stretching device
As a PGA Professional, I have had many golfers come to me over the years looking to improve their games. Most come to me for a lesson as what they see as a last resort after many failed attempts to improve using the latest swing aid or magic club.
Kinesiology – the science of human movement
With a background and degree in Kinesiology, I have studied the motions of many different athletes in many different sports. Through my experiences I believe that many of these golfers that come to see me would see improvements in their games if they would simply improve their overall strength and fitness levels first, more specifically flexibility and range of motion, before concentrating solely on technique.
Fitness is the key
I feel limitations in the fitness areas are more directly responsible for plateaus and declines in ability for many golfers than are sudden losses of ability or improper technique. Fitness should play a more significant role in many players’ game improvement plans.

PGA Expo discovery
It was at the 2007 PGA Merchandise show in Las Vegas that I first picked up the Rotater and I have now been using it for 2 months and I am happy to say that I have experienced the benefits and improvements that I had hoped for.
By using the Rotater for only a few minutes a day, stretching my shoulder both internally and externally, I have been able to see a measurable difference in the range of motion in my shoulder. This has transferred over to a wider, more efficient and more powerful turn in my golf swing.
Better shoulder turn & more consistent ball striking
Having greater flexibility has allowed me to make a better turn with my shoulders without compensations, which has translated into creating greater consistency in my ball striking.
I always keep my eyes open for products that can truly help golfers in areas where I have seen some glaring deficiencies. Almost every golfer can benefit from increased range of motion in the shoulder joint to help them create wider, more powerful and more consistent swings, and the Rotater is the easiest and most effective product I have seen to achieve this task.

Shoulder Rehab Device Becomes Part of Flexibility Program
May 7, 2009
Using the Rotater as part of your daily exercise and fitness program will increase your shoulder flexibilty
“Using the “Rotater” on a regular basis has had a positive effect on my recovery from adhesive capsulitis. It has allowed me to isolate and stretch the shoulder internal and external positions safely and effectively.
Before I received my Rotater, I found myself neglecting my shoulder stretch do to the difficulty I had in finding and maintaining the correct shoulder position and applying just the right amount of stretch to have a positive effect.
Because the Rotater is so simple and effective, I am more consistent with my stretching exercises and have been making great progress in my recovery.
I’m going to include the “Rotater” as part of my regular flexibility program, even on my uninvolved shoulder, long after my rehabilitation has been competed.”
Thanks,
Don Gronachan
