We in Team GRrrr-8! ™ understand your concerns regarding reluctance by golf ball manufacturers to embrace your obviously market-changing technology. Let’s not get discouraged though. Remember the good news. You own the patents to this great technology! It is not hard to imagine that once a major manufacturer finally breaks the gridlock that every other manufacturer will follow suit. When, not if that occurs, Performance Indicator will become the standard for every golf ball manufactured. Clearly the technology has the potential to change the golf ball market. While manufacturers were focused on gaining their share of the 50 Million dozen new golf ball market, Performance Indicator has the potential to easily double the market for new golf balls. But why aren’t the manufacturers buying this technology? Apparently they see little incentive. Titleist has the largest market share, so they would seem to be a perfect candidate to incorporate this technology, especially as a way of protecting the reputation of the highly-regarded Pro V1. But they are so entangled in their lawsuit with Nitro and staying ahead of their competitors that they just don’t seem to have the time to reflect on the improvements PI could make to their products. Additionally, they’re maxed out in manufacturing, so they’re not interested in having to build more capacity at this time. Nike did not want to discourage golfers from trying their balls, even if they had been immersed in water so long that it disrupted the flight characteristics. Callaway golf was a company with a history of risk-taking, and while they were moving slowly, they remained interested. But before entering an agreement they want to conduct their own tests to determine that there would be no deleterious effects on their ball flight from the compound. The reality is that golf manufacturers are a very conservative group, and they follow each other’s lead. While that is discouraging right now, in the long run it’s a good thing, once Performance Indicator shows sales increases. Golf ball manufacturers definitely have a “you go, we go”, follower-type mentality. Remember that golf is a traditional sport that has slowly evolved over hundreds of years. It took a long time for improvements in club shaft, heads, and materials to become incorporated into the game. While manufacturers are always looking to get ahead of the competitor, those struggles usually revolve around longer, straighter ball flights, creating more back-spin and feel, straighter putts, and the like. There is very little innovation that makes the equipment obsolete. It’s just not a way the manufacturers think. They are focused on making the game easier for the average golfer, so they are having a hard time understanding the true value of the Performance Indicator. In your favor, manufacturers are al
