I wonder what they will do with the Snake Eyes line. The name ought to be worth quite a bit on the market. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2002 12:58 AM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Golfsmith In a message dated 10/16/2002 7:45:26 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Snip The new owners probably couldn't be less interested in the component business.

And the "major overhaul" of the component line for next year? I predict a major downsizing. And if the profit levels for that line of business aren't at least up to the other lines, it will be gone soon. I hope I'm wrong. DaveT Hi Dave and All, I have a different take on it, they make about 70% + on their brand Vs 28-35% on pro line so its simply a matter of profit dollars, if there is enough volume associated with their brand then that should be the direction of choice, otherwise not.
