Each week their are "counts" done on the clubs and balls and companies praising themselves for being the most used ______ on tour.
Last week TaylorMade had 55 drivers in play and led with that. Just about 40 of them being the latest 2011 models. Pretty high percentage.
Titleist has dominated the ball count for years. Last week they had 94 players using the Titleist golf ball and leading with over 64% of all players. Staggering numbers. However less than 50% of them are playing the current model (based on stats we received)
My questions are these.
Why is that?
Is that an indication of the golf ball?
Since consumers are buying it based on some level of that (whether we like it or not), is it misleading?
Would you have an issue if a player was saying "Play this driver like me" but was not playing it?
I often wonder these things because almost all of their players appeared to put the new driver in play quickly this year (many brands, and especially Titleist)
