You are right we could have named it a guru and raised the price like some of the other companies do, or we could have just reused the core and hide it like some other companies do. I decided to change the cover to the newest resins we have (guru cover is several years old) and give the consumer a price break since the tooling is already paid for. Sounds like the issue is with the name. I really can't get too upset over someone not liking the name, its all about performance. By the way there is no deception here we told everyone its the Guru Core.
I look at the big picture, even years down the road and learn from every launch, what we learn from this will be used in the future, you are right about one thing I have some "chops" you are wrong about me getting complacent, the cover is innovative and the best way to test it is on a proven core.
I hope you get to open up a bit and see how we do things. We have always been the innovators and always will. Look at the other guys, they are the ones that are doing the same things over and over and calling it something else or calling it the same thing and charging more!
I gotcha.
If you actually changed the cover formula, then it IS different, and thus the different name.
Cores get reused all the time, and that's understandable, as you've given the perfect example in saying there is no better way to showcase a different covers abilities than to put it on a proven core.
The only name issue there was, was in the possible existence of EXACTLY the same ball with just a different label. This, according to you, is NOT the case.
Sorry if you took my post as a personal affront, it was not meant that way. Rather, it was actually meant as a praise for you and the things you have developed and achieved in the industry, and to register my wonder at you re-releasing a ball with simply a name change, which you have explained is NOT what was done.
Carry on my good man, and as always, let those creative juices flow. Nothing more intriguing than when a really smart, really good, really innovative dude gets his mojo on.
How RADICAL is that? 🎳
