Prior to him, not many people would consider JPX unless they were going game improvement. Now the JPX line seems to be showing up in more bags but at least appears to be on most golfers try/fit list before buying a new set of irons.

Popular Post null Posted January 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2021 Brooks played Mizuno irons, but he wasn’t paid to and therefore Mizuno couldn’t use him in marketing.

Yes he helped make them but when you look at the sales of Mizuno irons they didn’t gain any market share. as for Srixon they are even less available in retail stores than Mizuno and the general public doesn’t know much about the company.

The money it costs them to pay Hideki to play driver they can pay 5 people to play their ball. It would cost a lot to sign Brooks to a full deal including driver.

fixyurdivot Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Well, with Nike arrows no longer being made and having broken his swoosh driving iron, what's a guy to do? Hang a wanted sign up at the local club notices board and see what comes along . I do think he'll move the needle a bit and this will be a positive ROI for Srixon. They have a solid following and quality products - and the timing of this with the release of the ZX series is not by chance. My Truespec fitter said they have them available and I plan to test the ZX5. He said they are getting very high marks from customers.

GolfSpy_APH Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The story of him and the Mizuno irons was really interesting and something that i heard on broadcast and much more so I think he does move the needle to an extent. He also seems to just not care about equipment other then it working for him. I can recall him gaming a older M2 for a while and that Nike 2 iron, so him going to Srixons would be awesome for them.

Popular Post GolfSpy MPR Posted January 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2021 I think @ncwoz asks the most pertinent question: is anyone actually hearing anything about a deal, or is he just playing the clubs? In terms of marketing value, I agree with those who say this isn't going to launch Srixon up to the Callaway/Taylormade/Titleist/PING echelon, but on the margins, where Srixon lives, I suspect it matters. The kinds of guys who read golf forums, the kind who actually would know what sticks Brooks has in his bag, who also know that he's switching to them from those Mizunos, those are the guys who go into a fitting and say, "Yeah, lemme hit those too." I don't think the idea is that people are going to flock to the store to get what Brooks has in his bag. It's about incrementally changing how seriously avid golfers take your brand. On that, assuming some kind of return to form for Brooks, I have to see this as a significant good thing for Srixon, deal or no deal. fozcycle, ncwoz, silver & black and 7 others 10 Quote TS3 9.5°, Tensei Blue CBX T3 15°, Project X HZRDUS Black Epic Super Hybrid 18°, Aerotech Steel Fiber FC HYB S C722 21°, Ventus Blue 8S CBX Iron-Wood 25°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 639 CB, Aldila NV 95 Graphite, 6–PW CBX 48° T22 54° and 60° EAS 4.0, Garsen G-Pro grip TP5x and Tour Response Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely a coup for Srixon to have a player the caliber as brooks play their clubs. Not a slight on their other pro staffers, but I think we all recognize how the media talks about brooks and his potential. Not to mention back to back major championships. That said, the golf world has been abuzz about these irons since their release. I'm not all to shocked that he tried them out. It's definitely a blow to a brand like Mizuno if he comes out and says they are the softest and most playable irons he's hit. Of course, that treads on mizuno's brand a bit. Not that he was a staffer for them or anything, but you understand no doubt what I am saying. ncwoz 1 Quote BNewt51 Golf Addict.... Father of 4.

But it doesn't seem crazy to me to think that Extra sets of Srixon irons sold with Brooks playing w/o contract * MSRP might be a bigger number than Extra sets of Srixon irons sold with Brooks playing w/ contract * MSRP - Brooks's contract Thats an interesting perspective... I guess the same scenario was played out with Mizuno. I would say anyone with major wins, playing your irons for free, would be a win. Nothing invested other than some free irons.

So this is totally unfounded opinion I wonder, though, if Brooks playing Srixon without a contract has more value to Srixon than if were under contract. I'm sure the bean-counters at Srixon have their spreadsheets with that answer. But it doesn't seem crazy to me to think that Extra sets of Srixon irons sold with Brooks playing w/o contract * MSRP might be a bigger number than Extra sets of Srixon irons sold with Brooks playing w/ contract * MSRP - Brooks's contract Without a contract all anyone will see when Brooks plays is a Nike bag, scotty cameron putter and stitch headcovers. I don’t recall the announcers talking much about his Mizuno irons during broadcasts so not sure they would with the srixons other than maybe this week that he has new irons in the bag. How would Srixon benefit from a non contract with little to possibly no exposure? If he signs a deal then I would expect him to probably have a bag deal to help with the exposure. The issues I see either way that work against Srixon. 1) they have limited retail space so outside of a pga tour superstore, Edwin watts and some green grass shops the public doesn’t get to see them. I spent a few years working for the local rep doing demo days and even when we went to the same courses/private clubs every year people still never heard of the brand. 2) I look at Nike as an example. At their peak they had the three biggest names in men’s and women’s golf on staff with Tiger, Rory and Wie. With those names they failed to gain enough market share to sustain them growth. They were never able to crack into the top tier of clubs despite possibly have some of the best irons in the players category. If those names aren’t moving the needle not sure a Brooks type will. My local range which is pretty busy most days carries their clubs and they sit on the racks most of the season. They may sell 1 set of the 5 and 1 set of the 7 series in a season GolfSpy_SHARK and BNewton51 2 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they utilizing him for data and what he would like to see in the clubs?

The question would be if Nike would pay more for the bag vs what Srixon would pay for the bag. I am not familiar with contacts but there seems to be many high profile players utilizing another sponsor on the bag rather than iron/woods OEM. If Srixon ponies out the money then i could see Srixon on the bag but i would doubt they beat out what Nike would pay. That little check mark means a lot in marketing.

Brooks I believe is no longer on his Nike contract for the bag but even if he is the way I understand the contract situation with Nike is that he would get to keep a portion of the contract related to the bag if he signed with another company so he essentially would double dip to an extent. As part of the Nike decision to leave golf they were able to sign wherever they wanted while still getting their Nike contract. However I do think the equipment and bag deal he had Nike hard goods is over based on him signing in 2016. Unless he had a 10 year deal like rory. xBAGGS and BNewton51 2 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
