Sky Shot Golf Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) To quote a section from the Associated Press article: “We are grateful for our partnership with the Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company, which had a premier reputation known for producing performance, quality and technologically advanced golf clubs and accessories,” stated George Feldenkreis, Chairman and Founder of PEI. “We kindly request your patience, as we seek a new licensee for this golf equipment product category. We are already exploring options for a new club-manufacturing partner while exploring the current market for future opportunities. I would also like to assure you that this decision has no impact on existing apparel products or other golf brands produced by Perry Ellis International or our other licensees.” Just as I was losing hope. But I hope there's both inshore and online product this time. Any thoughts folks...

tommc23 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Honestly it hasn't been successful as a licensee and the only way it could be successful is if the name is sold to who is going to manufacture. I appreciate the try but at this point don’t tarnish what they had and leave it go something’s just have to end.

Headhammer Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm with @tommc23, in order for BH to be relevant again it needs to be sold off to a manufacturer who is totally committed and passionate about reestablishing the brand. Companies like New Level & Sub70 have proven that fully committed passion can compete against the big OEMs. But another franchisee taking a quick swing is going to lead to another miss and add more tarnish to the brand. tommc23 and BIG STU 2 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Shot Golf Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 I agree that Perry Ellis should sell the rights to someone who's completely committed to club manufacturing. But I don't agree that it should be let go. Quote Nothing like the sound of the ball nailing the sweat spot of using a forged club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
