Kinda funny they didn’t have Frank holding the right ball or photo shoot it but in the current situation, I think that might be expectedIf you are not doing anything on Wednesday there is a live Q&A with Wilson Golf...

I called my friend who is a W/S dealer last week to see if they sent him any to try. He hasn't received any yet. I would like to try it, but $50 bucks for something unknown is kinda crazy. They should do trial sleeves!Wondering if any other THPers jumped in on this and have tried these?
With golf taking off in a restart and people excited to get out there and play, the model (no pun intended) is fascinating to me.
Found this video on YouTube. This video was released 17 days ago with only 419 views!! Wilson/Staff YouTube channel only has 2.75K subscribers!!! For a comparison, THP Golf TV has 4.54K subscribers! People are stuck at home craving content, and this only mustered 400+ views in 2.5 weeks! And, W/S is wondering why their market share is so low!
I would love to try the ball. But I honestly have zero interest in a subscription based ball purchase plan.
See the update to the article and this thread.
They have abandoned that and are just selling them for $50 a dozen with discounts for multiple boxes sold.
oh, well color me out of date then!
$50 seems like a lot....... I am not sure I can pay that for a Wilson ball. I know that is probably wrong, but I am sorry I have pre-conceived notions regarding Wilson that tell me the ball is not worth that... I fully admit it as a bias.
Hahah, no apologies, everybody has it with a few things. I said the new Kia Telluride looked amazing, but no way I am going to spend 50k for a Kia.
FWIW, I think you are not alone and based on the questions asked in this thread, I would say more like the masses.
Haha, thanks! I just wanted to be sure and be clear as to my reason. This whole things just points to Wilson struggling to discover itself. Do you think it is a bad look abandon an idea so quickly? I guess even if it was shown to be a bad idea? That does not instill confidence in me as a consumer.
I actually applaud the look, they just lacked the communications to talk with their media relationships to have them update like we did. Then again, few have had conversations like this one on the subject.
I still view it as such a simpler thing. We created the best ball we have ever created and it costs more to do so. We want you to try it first.
Instead its a Staff Model, which is also a Baller Box, which is only a Staff Model, and a subscription gets more or less expensive for the exact same amount? The whole thing was a cluster **** of awful.
This is what happens when you come up with a name you like (Baller Box) and try anything to get it to fit, but don't have the "horses" to nail the messaging. My opinion anyway.
When is Wilson Staff going to dump their current advertising agency and replace it with one that can help them generate buzz and excitement?
While they do have a PR agency for outside golf media, they have marketing and communications in house.
We have held multiple events with them and the President of the company and THPers have always had a great time.
With that said, this community at least has been pretty vocal about the last year or so at Wilson Staff.
I wonder if Wilson uses one ad agency and one marketing/pr group for all of their many product categories. It seems generic. A lot of THPers dismiss Wilson for being a big box or discount brand. Based on their marketing efforts I understand that mind set. They have great looking irons, balls, wedges and decent woods under the Staff name but promote them in a way that is invisible. Golf doesn't work that way. Invisible mean you can't be seen. They are invisible.
