Re: MAX Control Putter L80 price change

  Hi all, we made a mistake when we launched the MAX Control Putter (L80+), accidentally pricing it at 2,250 instead of the 2,750 correct price, which is based on the higher performance and alternate swing meter increments it provides.

  However, we're not going to increase the price until early January, so any players wanting to get this putter should do so before the end of December at the lower price.

  Sorry for any confusion!

  I am a little confused - on my price list, it shows the MAX Control putter as being 2,500 credits - so, does that mean you are lowering the price to 2,250 until years end???

  OOOOPs - sorry - did not look at see that there was a 3rd MAX  Putter - my error.....

  I still don't get their marketing strategy as making things more expensive. You sell things on discount to get more sales, not put higher prices. Geez, who makes the marketing decisions? As for buying credits for $25 for free sleeve of balls, does not sound enticing either. With all the retailers out in the world, these prices on here are not very enticing at all. It is not like this is the real golf of the world either to make prices jump up. I will stick with my Master one. 

  Most of the equipment on here you need blind faith to see how good it is or trust other people on here that you hardly know to know if its good. The dots don't have enough trust to go by. Also, one to two free rental days a year does not help either.

  The real reason I switch putters was the additional scales: 10,20, 30, 40, etc. The 10 ft scale came in handy for the short putts.  However I did notice that the performance (consistency) of this (Master) max putter decreased.  So I went out and bought the L80+ putter, which automatically I saw a huge difference in its performance, (alot better), but the specs are comparable with the other.  What is the difference please.
