Dizzy and Burak,
You are both correct in the sense that we ended up having two high end lines overlapping at the same cost level. Performance definitely has its differences, but we ended up with two lines at that price point. In all honesty, we did not intend this to happen as we forcasted our strategy a year ago, but with what Carmen brought to the table to us, we felt we could not hold out any longer and let this technology just sit there idol. We all agreed at Brunswick that this was a tough thing to do, but we did not want to abandon what we had going forward with the Siege line, yet Carmen Salvino's work needed to hit the market. We don't expect everyone to purchase all of them (although that would be really nice....LOL), but we currently have the widest variety of ball reactions that we've seen in well over the 6 years I've been with Brunswick. Sure, there's a few too many to choose from, but something is gonna match up to what you're looking for, and it's also very easy to build a good arsenal just within the Brunswick brand these days.
Try not to look at it as congestion, view it as options. Very goood options. By the way, we will continue on building on both the Siege and C-System Lines.
Regards,
RoB LaW
