Monument, CO (August 6, 2008) – “Every once in a while something has perfect timing, and this is the time for the Putting Rod,” states EyeLine CEO Sam Froggatte. “We introduced it to the PGA Tour 5 weeks ago. Several teachers and players immediately snapped it up. It flew through the Nationwide Tour, too. The rest is history.”
History? “47 players must be a record of some kind. Usually 10-15 players would be great,” answers Froggatte.
“The product is a great story. I got a phone call last fall from Brian Lackey, a teaching professional at Johnny Warren Golf Academy in Gallatin, TN. He had a putting product idea. We discussed it and I knew it was great – simple and effective. I went to work on the engineering and sourcing. Now it is all over the world.”
Where did the idea come from? “I started with a dowel stick and tape. Building a solid and connected putting stroke is critical to a player. I knew what I wanted to do, and I could see the rod extending from the putter head to the player’s chest. Sam made it into a real product,” Lackey says.
James Sieckmann, Director of Instruction at Shadow Ridge Golf Academy, Omaha, NE. teaches more than a dozen PGA and Nationwide players. He uses it with all his players. “It is the most effective putting aid I’ve ever used. Its beauty is its simplicity. I am having great success with this teaching tool.”
“I don’t know which is more fun – helping a young pro develop a product, or watching it catch fire on the Tours!” Froggatte states with delight.
