CT,
You are right about the public perception. Ironically TM has both the number one selling iron and the number one selling driver right now.

Your point brings up something else as well. Many get mad at companies like Mizuno, TM, Adams, etc... for bringing so many sets of irons and so many drivers out each year. While money is behind it all, I think there is more to it than that. I think part of it is that they are really trying to go after the "we have clubs for every single kind of player" mentality.

So people get mad at the companies for trying to please everyone and for not pleasing everyone. I find it interesting that the golf equipment companies are labeled the "Evil Empire", yet people don't have such strong feelings about the drug companies when their prescription medications don't work. What is it about golf that elicits such strong emotions?
