riverandfold.. That is a GREAT idea, but I don't know anything about golf equipment. I played one time with a friend that played on what was the Nike PRO AM tour. He did everything, picked the clubs, let me take practice swings before he was comfortable enough with me hitting the ball and gave me instructions to fix my slicing problem. After that, the ball went straight as an arrow, down the center of the fairway. At the 18th hole, he said I hit a drive that was at least 300 yds. I think it was a PAR 5 or 6 that was 500-600 yards, I think? We played at a New Orleans City Park course. I scored a 110 never playing in my life. He scored a 62 and was playing around trying to help more than concentrating on his game.
To make a long story short, Could you provide a list of questions for an ignorant person like me in golf equipment to ASK?

Let's set an initiative among ourselves! just like clasko, DFW and others have already done.
This will help every shareholder FEEL like they are making a difference!
Everyone who is near a Golfsmith, or any other major Sports Equipment Retailer.
1. Contact(either via in person or email) your local Golf Equipment store.
2. Ask them if they carry Feel Grips or Feel Wedges (be specific...for example, Reverse Taper Grips...etc)
3. If they say yes, they have them, then inquire about how popular they are, do they move off the shelves.
4. IF THEY SAY NO! Then Tell them you are interested in trying out the equipment based on the Ad you saw on TV and see if they will look into purchasing some for in-store purchases.
5. If they say they are available online, tell them you want to either Try them out in the store (like a golfsmith) or you at least want to touch them and get the FEEL before deciding to buy them
The goal of this is to get awareness and demand increase at all the Local Retailers. This will in turn result in more purchases from FEEL.
After you've done this...share your experience with the rest of us on the board! It's GREAT DD!!!
