fozcycle 15,088 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Walmart sells Vice products, balls, hats, gloves and bags. At least my Walmart(Wesley Chapel, FL). So does that mean they are no longer DTC? 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0211 w/Evenflo Riptide CB Regular shaft Fairways: Cobra King F8 3-4W(16*), 5-6W(20*) both w/Mitsubishi ck Blue regular shaft and Tour Edge E521 9W Hybrid: Cobra F8 3 Hybrid(19*) w/Recoil ES regular shaft Irons: Wilson D7 5-PW w/Recoil 460 Regular graphite shafts Wedges: Cleveland RTX Zipcore(50*/54*/58*) w/True Temper Spinner Wedge steel shaft Putter: 33" Evnroll ER2 w/Evnroll Gravity Grip Bag: Vice cart bag(Black).

russtopherb 9,330 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 DTC brands can still branch out to brick and mortar and still be considered DTC since their primary method of distribution is still direct to consumers. https://hbr.org/2020/03/reinventing-the-direct-to-consumer-business-model 1 Quote In my carry bag: D7 Hy-Wood D200 5i-PW CBX 54* & 58* #10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londo 220 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Like others have stated, I feel like that its kind of hairsplitting and depends on your interpretation of DTC. I am okay with MGS classifying Maxfli as DTC if they are in the grey area- as long as they include their definition/criteria of DTC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm319 194 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 DTC technically refers to the product originator (not necessarily the producer) selling to the consumer directly while bypassing 3rd party retail, wholesale, and/or distribution. The point is to eliminate unnecessary intermediary margins that result in additional retail markup. In the case of Maxfli, it is a house brand of DSG and only sold in their retail locations so classifying that as DTC is acceptable because DSG has full control over the marketing/distribution/retail portion of the supply chain. Costco’s Kirkland balls qualify as well. Additional to this particular industry, most consider the fact that balls considered to be DTC are produced in independent, white label factories not owned by the originator. The most direct form of distribution in this industry would be purchasing a urethane offering from Acushnet, Bridgestone, or Callaway (all fully manufactured in wholly owned facilities) via their website.

BostonSal 554 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Everythig get screwed up eventually. I remember Maxfli as a major premium model made by Dunlop, just as Top Flite was a major premium model made by Spalding. Now neither is affiliated with its original source in any way but they're still around as store brands. Then again, I also remember playing with R&A spec 1.62" golf balls, so what I remember doesn't matter much any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAC 68 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) On 11/19/2021 at 7:30 AM, Middler said: You can buy two dozen Maxflis for $60 almost all the time. You can’t get Snell MTBs for $30/dozen even if you buy 5 dozen, and you now pay shipping for Snells - though there’s a Black Friday free shipping promo going on thru 11/29. With several Dicks and Golf Galaxy’s near me, it’s cheaper and more convenient than ordering from Snell. I recently got two dozen 2021 Maxflis for $40. Dick's had the $60 deal for two dozen you describe and sent me a $20 coupon so $40 for two dozen urethane golf balls that got excellent reviews from MGS. I went to the store to pick it up. Would it have counted more as direct to consumer if I had ordered it from their website and had it shipped to me? Isn't the key QPR not the method in which I get it?
