I think a business model that obsoletes product in just a handful of months isn't sustainable.
In a high-growth market maybe, but in a steady or declining one not so sure. For awhile maybe you can generate artificial growth, but eventually you train customers not to care about the next big thing. Especially with drivers where they're up against regulated limits now.
How much innovation was truly in Jetspeed, Optiforce,... Good to have more and new...for consumers...but hard for companies to convince folks to spend $400 on a new driver every year...unless they're THPers that is.
Irons are more interesting these days.
