The thing with MAP pricing is this. A company can not force Mr. Delear to sell at a certain price. This was settled in court not to long ago. The company can decide to not ship to Mr. Delaer after hearing of not adhering to their suggested price.

I understand why companies do this becuase it helps keep percieved value of their product up. You don't get dealers selling for 10% over their cost on the internet just to sell masses quantities.

If Mr. Dealer was smarter he would have included a free non ping putter, shoes or anything else with percieved value instead of lowering his price on the irons set.

Back on subject, I know Titelist is paying for placement but they have been around the game for a very long time. I remember when I used to get excited when I would find a balata ball becuase it was so much softer to hit than my cheap Top Flights I was playing back then. I am starting to let my guard down on Nike
