NG although they have tried to "slick" up their advertising and equipment, is in my opinion on the path of the Titanic.

It is very obvious that the whole operation is now being run by non-golfing bean counters. Just look at their latest NG magazine, they have some switch hitter Canadian who is supposed to be on that tour (can't find him there anywhere) and they plaster a photo of him on the cover holding a club in a "Two Axis" setup??? Anyone one who is running that magazine, if they had a 1/2 hrs. lesson in NG would know that's a giant no-no!

Now to their equipment, they take a set of Orlimar knock club heads, slap them on some True Temper shafts and then claim that these are just short of being the second coming of Christ.

I have a friend who runs a Pro Shop that sells these mojo knock offs, he sells a set that has heads that look almost identical to the NG Gen 3's mounted on Apollo shafts for about $150. he confirmed that the NG heads most likely come from the same Taiwan foundry as his does, and he pays a whopping $4.50 a head for his!!

The american public, isn't "that" stupid to pay $695. for a set of clubs that cost NG about $100. to make, or are they??
