Rockroller signs Luke Donald to endorse its Tempotimer system

DEL MAR, Calif. (May 8, 2006) -- Rockroller LLC, makers of golf’s only tee-to-green training system, announced today that it has signed Luke Donald to endorse its training products.
The Tempotimer, which is part of the Ernie Els Training System, is a weighted (9.5 oz.) sleeve that fits on the shaft of any club in your bag and helps improve tempo, timing, distance, strength and accuracy. Over 100 professional golfers in the U.S. and Europe are now using the Tempotimer to fine tune their swing with every club in their bag.

“I am very happy to be associated with Rockroller,” said Donald, who has been using the Tempotimer for the past year. “Every time I warm up, I use the Tempotimer. I don’t know of a better way to fine-tune my tempo, timing and ball-striking.”

Donald, who turned pro in 2001, has been making his mark on the Tour this past year. He recently captured his second PGA TOUR title at the Honda Classic, which moved him from 35th to 10th this past year in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time in his career. Other career highlights include two European Tour wins, a Ryder Cup appearance and last year’s Target World Challenge title. He currently ranks 5th in scoring average on the PGA TOUR.
