Honestly, im shocked imitation doesn’t happen SOONER. Imo it took someone like TM way too long to create a 1W, etc.
Its such a fun conversation.
Admittedly I'm not sure why people (including myself) give the Answer shapes a pass but get all worked up when someone copies a #7 (for example). I try to be consistent in my "righteous judgement" though lol. I didn't like it when Odyssey copied Taylormade's red paint, I didn't like it when Taylormade attempted to copy Truvis etc etc.
Once enough time passes it actually becomes a good thing when everyone copies each other. I think about how much choice and selection I have as a lover of the Anser1 shape because every mind in the last 20-30 years has released their interpretation of it.
