HOMEMADE - “The Smart Stick” co-inventor Martin Hall

[Tom Smart]

John: I think Jeff is right you have way to much time on your hands. You are abviously a bitter man. For the record I want all who read this to know that nobody has been paid to endorse the Smart Stick. Any of the persons you see listed on our site have given me permission to use their name without any compensation because they believe in the product and clearly see the the great benefits of use. At some point to sell to the masses a player endorsement will become critical. This is no secret and goes beyond golf training products. In our business there is no better example as to the power of endorsement than the Medicus product line. Does anyone think that without the Tour Players behind the product it would have been a successful product. The Medicus is now in its 14th year and still going strong. Another example is the Speed Stick. Prior to VJ endorsing the product it sold very little and as Dane Wiren from Golf Around The World told me they could not keep it in stock after the VJ endorsement. This is simple marketing and at some point going forward all products need horespower endorsement and even this is no guarantee to success. I hope that you sell millions of your new trainer going forward as it sounds like a great idea. Our experience has showed that the lasers cannot stand up to be smashed into a golf ball and then the ground. Martin and I did test lasers in a club over the winter without long term reliablity of the lasers being able to absorb impact forces.
