You can easily tell brand popularity and excitement for the new releases by just looking on this forum.  The Stealth 2 thread has 55 pages.  The Paradym and G430 threads are over 40 pages.  The Aerojet only has 12.  Bryson not playing the Aerojet does not help that situation.  Don’t know if Fowler or Thompson have put the Aerojet into play either.

 

And when Cobra’s biggest signing this year is Gary Woodland?  Totally fails in comparison to TM signing Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson (which gives you some indication of where TM’s target for growth in market share is headed.

Who are Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson?

I wouldn't worry, Bryson's Black OG space port thingy of his isn't going anywhere...like a UFO, appears out of nowhere and gone the next 😂

Not sure why this is a big deal… very common thing now, seeing pros testing other stuff and even gaming it temporarily. Rory with vokeys for example. Also bryson is probably the most misunderstood person on here, its amazing the amount of dislike people have for him, when if they met him or knew him, they would think differently.

I'm sure Callaway isn't thrilled with having to make individual irons for Mav McNealy either.  LOL

He is a billionaire, think they are pretty thrilled to do anything for him

good company to be in either way, that stuff makes waves in the media and so does the custom irons

The internet/social media is kinda synonymous with this kinda stuff. Bryson is an easier target than most.

Thought it is  his dad whom is the billionaire? Mav just tagging along doing his thing.

They always seem a step behind.  They were doing custom graphics and colors when everyone was moving to "Real Deal" shafts in drivers and woods.  Made their clubs look more like toys than actual equipment.

Interesting take, they have done a lot of things before other brands Inc using real deal shafts when others still don't. Custom graphics, you mean like TM offer with My Stealth? SIM was very much an F9 copy, twist face was basically same roll and bulge tech cobra had for years, use of MIM, 3D printing.... Marketing is their issue not that they are a step behind.

Typically when your dad is a billionaire, the kids live the life of a billionaire. So splitting hairs. Let’s just say if he doesn’t make a single cut this year he’ll be fiiiine. Haha

Only pro who probably doesn't need or want that netjets logo

He takes netjets when he’s in the mood to “slum it”.

I think Callaway beat both TM and Cobra with custom drivers with that green RAZR Fit Driver that can be ordered in different colors.  But, carbon drivers would have been dead if it wasn’t for the successes of the Cobra Comp 454 Driver and the Cleveland Launcher Comp Driver.

I thought they would move more into the Youtube/influencer world, since they can't truly hang with the bigger OEMs.

 

I love my LTDx LS and the Aerojet has a ton of hype.

 

Could be a "ball speed" thing coinciding with the article they just put out where he's saying the equipment can't handle 200+ mph ball speed.

 

 

 

 

I believe he's always been with Artisan wedges.

 

And Cobra managed to lose Micah. If they truly want to do more on YT influencers they kinda missed step already

That sound you hear is raucous celebration at the Bridgestone plant in Georgia.

Everything else he does is based on ego so why not

Now that’s funny. Made me imagine the Bridgestone engineers all getting up to “go to lunch” when they heard he was in the building! Lol

Bryson was the needle in golf for a few months; I bet the companies that signed him up at the time now feel like the people who loaded up on Pets.com stock before the crash.

The problem for Cobra is that he's honest about their clubs

honesty gets me in trouble at work too

Do people think TM is paying him? I personally love the Stealth 1, and as long as they didn't make it worse, i can see why a carbon face would work for him.

Not if he’s under contract with Cobra

 

Edit: but now this…

Does anyone really care what Bryson hits or is doing? He is at the very bottom of moving the needle for me. Also have zero interest in anyone with liv golf. Cobra and Bridgestone will be just fine without him. Their products speak for themselves

Obviously Bryson is unique. Not many players trash their equipment sponsor like Bryson has. But players are paid to represent a brand and bring them exposure. Problem is that most LIV players are bringing very little exposure and the exposure they bring is often negative.
