[Ricky Fowler to TaylorMade]

Sorry for the wrong wording on the subject title guys, I was reading about 2020 player equipment switches and was thinking out loud, I didn't mean to make it sound like it just happened yesterday.

I purchased this and it is being delivered so I am wanting to confirm if it is real. (I know I should have posted this before buying it).

Any input would be greatly appreciated. 

 

It looks good, if I were you, I'd contact Scotty Cameron, or Titleist sales rep in your area and try to see if you can find out if it's authentic, and ask Titleist for a certificate of authenticity.

Anyone still playing with the EXP-01? If so, how do you like it?

There's only so much you can pass on while keeping prices in line with their industry competition. Just look at PXG, there's another company that wouldn't exist if it wasn't owned by a billionaire. If either company were publicly traded, they'd be done by now.

[Would you use a NON-Conforming Golf Equipment if it gave you a competitive advantage?]

I don't know how anyone could shoot a solid round of golf with non-conforming equipment, it's like cheating, and golf is the ultimate example of a game where you have to police yourself and adhere to the rules to the best of their knowledge. How could you feel good about hitting longer drives with a non-conforming driver, it's a false positive.

Question for you guys: How can TaylorMade, a golf equipment company that was purchased from Addidas a few years ago by a private equity group for the low price of $450 million dollars, afford to pay it's your staff of high profile players like DJ, JDay, Rory, Rose, and now Ricky to a ball & glove deal and still be profitable?

I'd love to see their cost/profit/loss numbers, I'm assuming if they were a stand alone golf equipment company, they'd be lucky to break even. Any thoughts?
