So I’ve never been one to pay much attention to what’s happening in the industry, but I’ve always noticed who is playing what type of equipment. I’ve never seen so many different new and seemingly small boutique brands with such really cool stuff (e.g., putters, irons and even golf balls). Is this an industry renaissance as far as the number of competing brands, or is it roughly the same number of manufacturers as in the past? Will we be back to just the big OEMs before too long or will there be staying power for many of these companies? As someone recently very much on the Edel bandwagon, I hope this trend continues.
Also, are there any boutique drivers out there? That I haven’t noticed. I suppose PXG fell into this category although I’m not sure that label still applies.
