I did see it at the show. Certainly enough different than anything else out there. Caught my attention, but a pretty, young blonde working the rake will do that. Kind of like a wire paint roller before you put on the fabric. I stood there for a good twenty minutes, watching. I finally got the owner's attention, letting him know my possible interest in selling them in my area, curious about the cost, but was pretty much brushed off. Anytime somebody new would approach the booth he would leave me and grab a rake himself.
The way they were demo-ing it I got the impression it is was meant for your maintenance crew to use as they rake and/or touch up bunkers while making their rounds. The handle was looooooooong. Like about 72". When I asked I was told "nope, these are meant to be left at the bunker for the golfers to use."
"Hmmmm. How much are they?"
"They'll sell for about 175 Bucks."
Thinking to myself, and under my breath......... "good luck."
If you have a local guy that reps them ask for a demo first. I stood there and watched dozens of demos in their sandpit. Each and every time there was a noticeable ridge left on the edges as the raked.
No longer impressed.
