| Current trends?
Hi everybody,
I am doing a research towards current trends in the golf area.
Do you know which products are a trend at the moment and which lifestyle elements?
Or can you speak of one trend direction? For example electronic products...
Thanks for the information!
Greetings

| Golf technology is changing. Many people are finally embracing things like triangular drivers or brush tees. But it spite of, or perhaps because of, this rapid pace of change, some people want to turn back the clock 20 years or so. People are buying irons and wedges with the "traditional" muscle back design. Blade putters are making a comeback. And there's still something cool about being the only guy in your foursome who carries a 2-iron.

| I got a question what is supposed to make a brush tee any better than a regular tee? the only think I can come up w/ is you don't break off a brush tee, you shouldn't get any more yards out of a brush tee because the regular tee bends over.

See golf doesn't begin on the 1st tee and doesn't end on the 18th green... its a life long journey.

(Maybe you would want different heights)
The other thing is, the brush supposedly provides less resistance against the driver when you hit the ball, or less resistance as the ball tries to exit the tee, than a wooden or plastic tee would.
Do I believe #1? I suppose so. Do I believe #2? Maybe in theory. Do I think it makes a measurable amount of difference? Not on your life.

And there's still something cool about being the only guy in your foursome who carries a 2-iron. | Yep, people are buying those "Traditional Irons" and wonder why they can't break 90  Being cool and carrying a 2 iron in your bag is only cool if you can actually hit it properly. Otherwise it is useless except for getting out from under a tree.
Handicaps have not changed much in the past 10 years even with all of the technology available to golfers. Why? Because there are not enough good players out there to take advantage of the technology. You can put a square driver in someone's hands but they still have to have a swing in order to hit the ball straight! Anyone with a handicap over 3 should not be playing MB or blade irons. All you have to do is look at the majority of the PRO's bags to see why.  | |

They're cool lookin' and they provide a great convenience, but there's no solid advantage game wise, of a brush tee over a traditional wooden tee.

| I know to me a brush tee is not any better than a wood one. For the price of the 2 or 3 brush tees in a package you could get like 150 or more wooden ones.
