Here's one particular point in my thoughts on Miller's stance against the USGA & R&A. This might be the biggest opportunity for FEEL Golf to dramatically increase their Sales Revenue and Market Share. If none of the "big boys" follow Miller on this revolt, FEEL has to potential to capture a very large market share of the Amateur Market. If someone hasn't already "stocked up" on the old rule wedges, they will most certainly be in the market for another wedge, and if FEEL Golf is the only company out there still producing the wedges, guess what....they will buy from FEEL.
Now, I'm betting that Most, if not ALL, of the "big boys" have already (retooled) switched over their manufacturing equipment and processes to the new wedge lines in order to build their 2011 wedge lines for inventory. This means almost guarantees they WILL NOT go back and start manufacturing those old wedges again, so FEEL won't have them to compete against.
The only thing that could Hurt FEEL now is if USGA & R&A re-writes or changes the requirements, but since 2010 is almost over, I don't see that happening, too late for them to change their minds now.
I do expect some other Smaller manufacturers to follow FEEL's lead and continue to manufacture old grooves, but the great thing is FEEL has already STOLEN the spotlight and becamse THE FIRST! It's always good to be "first mover" on controversial issues like this.
Finally, it's also GREAT that the USGA & R&A will NOT take any action against FEEL (simply put...they can't force them to do anything), so there's NO DOWNSIDE risk, only UPSIDE potential for increased market share and increased sales!
LOVE IT!!!!
