scotts33 IMO....Wishon, Swing Science, Alpha are not looking to be the cheapest or newest they exist fine. The average G'Buzzer is not their market. If it ain't broke. 😊
scotts33 sdandrea1 We'll see. All 3 have been around longer than many that have sifted out. Alpha and Swing Science small family owned can weather more than the large profit tied entities. How long has the 919THI been out? It stills sells well.
sdandrea1 scotts33 I don't doubt they'll last. As long as they can adapt, shrink, expand to the market, they'll be fine. Competing with the OEM brainwashing machine can't be easy tho. It's a small niche, but they know how to evolve. Time will tell.
scotts33 sdandrea1 Competing with the OEM brainwashing machine can't be easy tho. It's a small niche, but they know how to evolve. Custom clubmakers still do very well in certain markets as they are selling themselves not a brand or product. Their niche is them not the product that most think. I have had the same client base for over 35+ years. Just a different way of thinking.
sdandrea1 scotts33 There's a guy in Dunellon Florida that is (was) very popular with the guys in my Florida gang. Word-of-mouth got him a lot of business. He fit/built mostly Golfworks, KZG, and Callaway (custom shafts). I think I heard he died recently, but his business was solid.
scotts33 Subsonic sounds as if you have it all figured out. Keep up the good work! Nope but it works more or less. I learned from Tom Wishon, Jeff Sheets etal tie your business to yourself not a brand.
scotts33 sdandrea1 Selling services! You can charge more for labor. Yep #1 rule in business in a small market niche situation. Don't be cheap to gain business. In fact customers looking for good value with skill and expertise want to pay more if you are cheap they run away in droves. I am selling my skills and expertise not a brand or certain product. After one has done this for a long time you understand quickly the tire kickers from the client that you want to work with. 😊
