This site is run by a customer of mine. Its actually a great idea. This guy has made many different tools to elminate bending in golf. There's many guys here with back issues, and I'm sure we all know an old timer or two that can't get out to golf much simply because they can't bend down to mark a ball, tee up a ball, etc. There's a lot of neat and innovative gizmos on this site.

I'm going to get the Super Claw for my Dad. When (not if) he starts using it I guarantee he asks me where I got it because all of his golfing buddies will want one. This is great. Thanks Frank!

Awesome.

He was in again this morning getting a few cases of lamps. We talked about the site again, and he said the great thing about his site as opposed to a lot of other golf sites is that he isn't looking to make people play better or hit drives further, just to keep people playing longer. If an ex-athelete or an old time golfer caught on with this, I'd lose a customer , but that would be a good thing.

Not to downplay anything that your buddy does for a living, since I think all of these gadgets can be helpful. But I have always wondered why people with severe back issues continue to play a game that basically requires extreme rotation and torque within the spine?

I really don't know, and thats a pretty good point. Maybe they can adapt thier swing to still play, but cannot bend to grab things off the ground. BUt yeah if your back is that bad that you can't swing, you shouldn't be playing-- at least not reguarly. But even a younger guy like you Ugie, with the knee surgery and all, could benefit from some of this stuff. He also said a lot of vets that have lost limbs in the Iraq (such as) have orderd from him and raved about the productss
