This post brings up a very interesting perspective on how current management has failed miserably to seek to restore old business connections.
For example, liquidmetal is no longer used in any currently manufactured sports equipment. None.
If you look at Wilson Sporting Goods, in there tennis and golf divisions, you will find that they have been promoting titanium cores in both tennis balls and golf balls.
Now, I ask you, which would you rather provide components to if you were, say Materion, who provides ingots to potential turn key manufacturers?
Would you rather sell millions of liquidmetal cores (which would be superior to titanium cores) in tennis balls and golf balls.
Or would you pursue the much smaller volume tennis racquet and golf club market?
Rather than go head on head against the USGA rules and specifications of equipment, for example, which LQMT was unable to successful disarm, why wouldn't you take the same attributes of liquidmetal and apply it to the golf ball instead.
Unless you believe more golf clubs are thrown in the lake by angry golfers than golf balls lost in the lake or OB, why wouldn't you as a businessman pursue the higher volume, constantly replaced golf ball market and lower your costs of core production due to the very small size of a golf ball core?
Isn't a discussion of this nature far superior on Liquidmetal's blog sight rather than fluffy, unrealistic discussions about Chess Sets.
Yet the Company under Steipp, continues to leave this topic of chess sets on a board for serious manufacturing engineers to laugh at.
Why not go after HEAD again, to use liquidmetal cores in their tennis balls? Or Callaway, in their golf balls?
Why doesn't Hockey Puck Jelbert discuss such matters that could make LQMT shareholders a RETURN on their INVESTMENT, instead of trying to get engineers to think outside the box with CHESS SETS?
How STUPID is that Concept and way of thinking? But that is exactly the mindset of LQMT management from TOP to DOWN.
