Why do you think there is always new companies attempting to get into the ball market? Hopkins comes to mind as one of the latest. Is it the least expensive market to get in to?
Sure is.

I hope I'm not derailing this thread but I'm thinking about this a lot right now. Before I jump too far into my thought process I'll just ask one question of you or anyone else who truly knows the answer: Do golf balls have the highest markup?
In some instances. It depends how its looked at.
People spend a whole lot of money over the course of a year on them.
^^^^This, especially the grips. The reason being grips are a somewhat disposable type item, like golf balls. You can create something a little unique that would generate some brand loyalty, and people that play a lot replace them periodically. Or put their preferred ones on each time they buy new clubs. You also have the ability to have a good wholesale type business if you can create one an OEM uses on their clubs.Going on a gut reaction here, I'd say grips and shafts - maybe strike up deals with club manufacturers to increase cash flow.
I'd probably start with putters. It is enough of a niche club where you could generate some business early on in the company.
