xxio Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I wonder if Orlimar had these specifically made or rebadged an older ball, like what Macgregor did with the old ZURC. It would make better sense to buy wholesale an older ball, rebadge it, then repackage as a cheaper alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 They'll have no problem sending them all out to Americans, and it will be significantly cheaper for a small company to keep they within the US. I don't think they expect much overseas marketshare so why would they need to market their product over there? I agree they shouldn't shut out half the worlds golfers but from a business standpoint leaving it within the US is the best option.

I agree they shouldn't shut out half the worlds golfers but from a business standpoint leaving it within the US is the best option. Yeah, I hate to admit it but I agree that it just makes good business sense. It costs them very little to produce the balls (and they probably write that off as advertising expenses). My guess is that they realise the power of forums such as this, and if they can get some good user-reviews from the US then that'll sell plenty more than they actually spend on the campaign. Certainly for us in NZ, I've only physically seen orlimar clubs once, and never Orlimar balls, so even if they did send me the test balls, the chance of me paying the shipping to purchase more from the US is minimal. I guess my point is, unless they actually have distribution contracts in your country it just doesn't make sense. Just my thoughts. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverRick Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I got my golf balls today also, and will give it a try out tomorrow. I had to wait until my wife, Lady Jane to get home to open it. It was addressed to Jason, and her name is Jane and mine is Rick. I assumed that someone messed up and meant Jason not Jane, and Jason at least has three of the same letters as Jane. However, when we opened it, it was for Rick.
