H&B PowerBilt's website is suddenly down.
Yet another American domestic manufacturer to bite the dust?
They're going down fast, which can't be good for the game.

Most importantly, gb, I'm glad to hear that PowerBilt is ok. My very first new clubs were 1959 PowerBilt Citations!
But they're all saying that MacGregor is in trouble. Tommy Armour (formerly PGA) is barely hanging on. Lynx is a minor component company, now. Don't see much from Dunlop. Wilson is a shadow of what it was, and it's former sister brand, Walter Hagen, belongs to D**k's Sporting Goods.
Spalding, Hogan, First Flight, Ram, Kroyden, Faultless, Pederson, McHenry, Sonartec, Confidence, Burke, Wright-Ditson, Kenneth Smith, Butchart-Nichols, Merit, Solo, Jerry Barber, Bristol, Penley shafts, and probably several that I've forgotten are nowhere to be found.
Daiwa is gone in America, at least, although it's OnOff brand thrives in Japan. And you don't see much from Yonex anymore, either.
I would just hate to see us down to Taylor-Made, Callaway, Ping, and Titleist/Cobra, that's all.
