How do you look at them? Do you look at them and say, wow, they did things with very little technological advances or wow, the technology that exists today is really helping the golfers?
David AbelesGUEST
Yeah, like technology and innovation is a constant evolution, right? I mean, one advancement leads to the next advancement.
David AbelesGUEST
And so even, you know, when I look at the history of the game and you go back as far as hickory shafts to steel, and then you can go from persimmon and laminated woods to the first metalwood in 1979 from Gary Adams, who founded TaylorMade, and then the progression from a metalwood to ultra-thin cast titanium, which was the 300 series from TaylorMade, if you remember that, where there's three different driver heads with different launch conditions because not every player plays the same way.
David AbelesGUEST
So whether you were Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer or Lee Trevino, they were in innovation cycles.

David AbelesGUEST
And when we started this journey, we, we built a new management team here back in 2015, and we took a very, very honest look at our company, the things that we had done well historically, the things that we wanted to improve upon.
