Interesting. I do say I have both balls. The Wilson folks were nice enough to hand me plenty of samples. I'll compare them against each other on a warmer day. But I'm a little surprised. Harry doesn't usually jump into the fray in this manner. There has to be more to it than meets the eye. But fear? No. Competition for dollars from two marketing directors? Absolutely.

Nobody should ever copy the Warbird, Harry. I wouldn't use that rock as my bragging point.

He is defending his product and company, no harm done here. This post is an exact example of how soft a$$ this world has become. Someone speaks his mind in a response, people call for his head.
Get a grip.

Oh, and welcome to golfwrx OP. Interesting that calling someone out like that is your first post. SMH.

Sounds like he's taking the "any publicity is good publicity" approach. Doesn't surprise me given the amount of advertising they've had for this ball so far.

The competition is great for the rest of us.

As consumers of products, we benefit greatly from the "competition" between OEM's. If this pushes them to create new products that can help us as golfers, have at it. There wasn't anything personal in it. Back in the MCI days, AT&T was the target and nothing was off limits competitively.

How is that exchange "Wilson golf vs Harry/callaway"? Looks like some fella named, appropriately enough, Dick trolled Harry's tweet and He responded accordingly. How did you possibly get "publicly attacking" out of that? People are so soft.

People think this is such a big thing.

My picture of Harry is a normal internet guy, who is a VP of a company who posts what he likes. People see him as a target, when he jabs back, People take it out on Callaway.

If someone wanted to compare a ProV to a Wilson Duo of course the guy/guys playing the proV would be up an in arms, when in performance (if you need it) it really is comparing a Porsche to a lower level automobile.

I think it's great that Harry did not back down. He was prompting his company's new line of golf balls. Why isn't anyone posting against the Wilson Staff player? The guy mentions price consideration but he's on staff per his twitter description.
[/quote]

That is what I don't get. The guy is on staff with Wilson, so he must be a decent player. Why the hell is he so worried about what he can afford ($20 v $40) when he is likely getting them for free...and why is he playing the duo as he alluded to in his post? It is a good ball, but if he is on staff I doubt it is the best Wilson ball for him.

The Wilson guy instigated the interaction. Harry's initial response was very respectful and frankly, correct. Once it was apparent Wilson guy was trolling, Harry kind of seems to not care.

This just seemed like a back and forth ribbing from my point of view. It wouldn't even surprise me if these two guys know each other. I guess we all "read into people's comments" what we want to see. This wasn't anything more than a mild exchange. I give my friends a much harder time than that, and get it right back. I think "tone" and "intent" are really lost with typing/texting. I also have a very hard time understanding twitter; it is just not for me. I guess I am a little old school for a 44 year old.

Wilson DUO will sell to the old Preceipt Laddy crowd and many more. I, personally, don't care for the DUO or the SuperSoft. THe Chrome Soft is not in the same catagory.
