I love Mizuno products but I can't quite understand why these exotic line-ups aren't offered in the mainstream U.S. marketplace. I understand that the average American consumer is not willing to invest in technology like his Japanese counterpart but that doesn't account for everyone like us! Aren't we a global marketplace now??? I realize that we can buy from Chris and that's awesome but it sucks that I can't receive the white glove treatment (i.e. fitting, launch monitors, etc.) which the high dollar spend should intitle me too! Why wouldn't Companies like Mizuno and Bridgestone take advantage of their deep bags and the hugh American market by scheduling a few select demo days in each marketplace and offer the good stuff. Show it and we will come...
I second that! You let people see the quality and hit it for themselves, I think that the high dollar equipment would sell. They would need to prove that the extra technology works and is needed, but I don't think they would be wasting their time by putting in some demo days. One or two in each state; try it for a year and see what happens.
Personally, if I could get my hands on it, I would have a much easier time forking over the big bucks. :tsg_smilie_money3:
