I'm Tim McElvanagh.

11
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:38,740
Hey guys, this is Sean Klotz from One Stop Golf Club.

12
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:42,420
And we're here with Russ Diamond who is the...

13
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:44,420
One of our partners in McHenry Metal Golf.

14
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:45,420
Correct, correct.

15
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:47,140
So welcome Russ.

16
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:48,620
Thank you for being on the show.

17
00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:49,620
Really appreciate it.

18
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:50,620
Good morning guys.

19
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:53,680
Thanks for having me.

20
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,620
So Russ, how long have you been with McHenry Metals and tell me a little bit about it.

21
00:00:59,620 --> 00:01:04,620
Well, it's been, what, about a year and a half, I think May of 22.

22
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:11,140
I was in Sean's shop and asked him what was up with the McHenry Metals and he gave me

23
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:15,220
a little bit of the history and I was very interested because I've been golfing for years

24
00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:19,660
and like the history of golf and everything, did a little research.

25
00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:25,860
And when you find out the history and where they were started from in McHenry, Illinois

26
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:33,300
and with Gary Adams who was the founder of TaylorMade, the father of the metalwood, I

27
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:34,980
got really excited about it.

28
00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:38,260
So that's what got me interested with Sean.

29
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:45,420
Yeah, so basically Russ came on about a year ago, me and my partner in One Stop Golf shop

30
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:50,700
down in Valrico, Jim Osbrooke, me and my partner and then a couple other investors.

31
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:57,540
We purchased McHenry Metals Golf in June of, actually February of 2020.

32
00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:02,100
And McHenry Metals like Russ alluded to, I'm 52 years old.

33
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:08,040
I always tell people if you're over 40, you've kind of heard of McHenry Metals because like

34
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:13,340
Russ said, Gary Adams, not the founder of Adams Golf, that's a different Adams, that's

35
00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:14,340
Barney.

36
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:20,060
Gary Adams was the man who basically started, he's called the father of the metalwood.

37
00:02:20,060 --> 00:02:25,260
So in 1984, 85, he started with TaylorMade.

38
00:02:25,260 --> 00:02:29,220
And I know you're younger, Tim, but Russ is a little older than us.

39
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:31,060
That'll mean it would get on your us.

40
00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:38,420
But me and Russ, we grew up hitting persimmon and laminated woods back in the day, right

41
00:02:38,420 --> 00:02:39,420
Russ?

42
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:40,420
Yeah.

43
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:41,420
Oh yeah.

44
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:45,500
And then the metalwoods coming on in those kind of mid 80s, they didn't even know what

45
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:46,500
to call them, right?

46
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:47,500
They just called them metals.

47
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:49,100
Yeah, they still called them woods on a TV.

48
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:50,100
Yeah.

49
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:51,100
Correct.

50
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:55,860
So Gary Adams, again, father of metal, of metalwood, TaylorMade, great rich history with

51
00:02:55,860 --> 00:02:58,780
his resume in the golf industry.

52
00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:04,300
He branched off from TaylorMade in the mid 90s to build a club called Founders Club.

53
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:05,300
Oh, okay.

54
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:06,300
I've heard of them.

55
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:07,300
Yeah, absolutely.

56
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:08,300
Yeah.

57
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:10,740
And Russ, did you ever play any of the Founders Club stuff?

58
00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:14,660
Yeah, I used to have one called the driver called the judge.

59
00:03:14,660 --> 00:03:15,660
Yeah.

60
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:16,660
Yeah.

61
00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:17,900
And that was, yeah.

62
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:18,900
Yeah.

63
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,020
And then, and then so from Founders Club, then he builds a, he kind of decides he's

64
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:24,860
going to retire in McHenry, Illinois, which is where he's from.

65
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:25,860
Okay.

66
00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:26,860
And he's the name.

67
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:27,860
Yep.

68
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:28,860
Yep.

69
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:29,860
Exactly.

70
00:03:29,860 --> 00:03:32,340
And then he builds, starts building this company called McHenry Metals.

71
00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:38,100
And the unique thing about it to me from TaylorMade to Founders Club to McHenry Metals is the

72
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:41,180
signature rail system that they have on the bottom of the clubs.

73
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:42,180
Yeah, on the bottom.

74
00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:43,180
Yeah, very good.

75
00:03:43,180 --> 00:03:48,940
I think that really is, you know, he's one of the founders of kind of a titanium alloy

76
00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:53,540
or not alloy, titanium metal or driver head, I should say.

77
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:54,540
Yeah.

78
00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:59,180
So kind of all that technology of, you know, metal woods were good, but they were heavy.

79
00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:00,180
Yeah.

80
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:03,780
And the thing that titanium brought to the industry was they could lighten the club head

81
00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:04,780
up.

82
00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:06,260
Callaway ran with that completely, didn't they?

83
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:07,260
Yeah.

84
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:12,220
And I think about your metal wood companies, it was Titleist and, sorry, TaylorMade and

85
00:04:12,220 --> 00:04:13,220
Callaway.

86
00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:14,220
Yeah.

87
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:15,780
They were the forerunners of all the metal product.

88
00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:16,780
Absolutely.

89
00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:18,340
And titanium product.

90
00:04:18,340 --> 00:04:22,900
So basically, like I said, I kind of knew about it.

91
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:27,580
It was a really unique opportunity as far as like how I found out that McHenry Metals

92
00:04:27,580 --> 00:04:29,420
was kind of up for sale.

93
00:04:29,420 --> 00:04:30,420
Okay.

94
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:33,260
And they were actually at that time in 2020, they were based in Jacksonville.

95
00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:34,260
Okay.

96
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:39,380
So I know I'm a little bit all over the place with my dates here, but Gary Adams passes

97
00:04:39,380 --> 00:04:40,380
away in 2004.

98
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:42,160
All right.

99
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,380
And nobody in the family wanted to kind of keep the company moving or going.

100
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:48,440
So it just sat stagnant for a bit?

101
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,780
They actually sold it to the person, his name was Mel, what's his name, Russ?

102
00:04:53,780 --> 00:04:55,300
It was Mel Rodeli.

103
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:56,300
Yep.

104
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:57,300
So he actually purchased it.

105
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:58,300
Yeah, Jacksonville, Florida.

106
00:04:58,300 --> 00:04:59,300
Yeah.

107
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:00,300
Right.

108
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,720
In 2004-ish.

109
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,260
And then he kind of kept it until about 2020.

110
00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:08,540
And that's kind of when we came upon it.

111
00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:12,740
He was actually, I think Russ, wasn't he like an air conditioning, like, you know, magnet

112
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:13,740
or something like giant?

113
00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:17,020
Yeah, I think he owned a big air conditioning, commercial air conditioning company.

114
00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:19,540
So just a big golf enthusiast, I guess.

115
00:05:19,540 --> 00:05:20,540
That's great.

116
00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:21,540
Yeah.

117
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:25,180
And they tried some online stuff for that kind of 15 year period.

118
00:05:25,180 --> 00:05:30,100
They were trying to do some, you know, sort of like, we'll call it marketing, you know,

119
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:35,900
kind of a little bit like internet related and sort of an online presence.

120
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:39,500
But they just had this massive amount of inventory.

121
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,100
And when we went to the warehouse, which was really kind of a weird experience, again,

122
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:46,540
you know, just a PGA guy who's been playing golf for a number.

123
00:05:46,540 --> 00:05:51,900
And again, knowing the story and kind of walking into this warehouse and you see 8,000 golf

124
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:54,940
clubs still wrapped, still in the cellophane.

125
00:05:54,940 --> 00:05:55,940
Wow.

126
00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:58,660
The shafts are all made in the USA, which is a unique thing.

127
00:05:58,660 --> 00:05:59,660
That's nice.

128
00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:02,100
I don't know if it's made in China or Korea or something like that.

129
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:03,100
Yep.

130
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:04,100
And they're made by UST Graphite.

131
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:06,100
Good company right there.

132
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:07,140
Excellent company, right?

133
00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:09,420
That's what we played back in those 2000, 2010s.

134
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:12,020
I think I still got a driver with that shaft in it.

135
00:06:12,020 --> 00:06:13,020
So, yeah.

136
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:14,020
Yep.

137
00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:15,020
Remember that kind of gold and purple?

138
00:06:15,020 --> 00:06:16,020
Yeah.

139
00:06:16,020 --> 00:06:17,020
Purple and gold one.

140
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:18,020
Yeah.

141
00:06:18,020 --> 00:06:19,620
I've still got it in my old Callaway titanium driver that we're talking about.

142
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:20,620
So yeah.

143
00:06:20,620 --> 00:06:21,620
And they still make good stuff.

144
00:06:21,620 --> 00:06:26,460
So it just, everything kind of fit, you know, the price tag for the entire inventory was

145
00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:29,940
a good price tag for me and my partners at that time.

146
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:35,220
We knew we could keep it at a low price for the consumer and be able to offer them really

147
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:36,500
good quality product.

148
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:37,500
That's good.

149
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:42,900
And I think Russ, when you came into the store, even before you kind of get into the partnership,

150
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,460
we talked about, you know, you asked me, well, hey, what's this McKenry Metals?

151
00:06:46,460 --> 00:06:51,700
And I would always tell the golfer coming to that shop that I didn't want to sell crappy

152
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:52,700
product.

153
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:58,500
And not to go on Walmart or Target, but there's an alloy component to some golf clubs that

154
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:00,100
is just not good.

155
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:01,100
Correct.

156
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:05,020
They're going to rust, you know, they're going to break.

157
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:12,820
And we knew that this was a quality product made at a time when golf clubs were made the

158
00:07:12,820 --> 00:07:15,500
correct way and not cheaply.

159
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:16,500
Made in America too.

160
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:17,500
Made in America.

161
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:18,500
Which is nice.

162
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:19,500
Yep.

163
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:23,020
And they're going to sell it to the smaller driver.

164
00:07:23,020 --> 00:07:28,860
They've got, we've got basically like a 400 CC driver, you know, which is pretty good

165
00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:29,860
for today's standards, but.

166
00:07:29,860 --> 00:07:33,740
Well, they're kind of going back to the smaller drivers now with, you know, tailor-made, you

167
00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:36,580
know, as we've kind of talked about, they're going back to the smaller head driver.

168
00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:40,900
So I think that's, I think that's going to be kind of more in the mix as we move forward.

169
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:43,980
That's why we started selling a mini driver now.

170
00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:46,500
So that same thing.

171
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:47,500
Yep.

172
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,180
So that's kind of where that brings it up to 2020.

173
00:07:50,180 --> 00:07:54,060
That's where we started selling it in locally in Valrico, Florida.

174
00:07:54,060 --> 00:08:03,340
We did some sales to some of the bigger companies, Rock Bottom Golf and also a company up in

175
00:08:03,340 --> 00:08:05,020
the villages called Golf Central.

176
00:08:05,020 --> 00:08:06,740
They took a pretty good amount too.

177
00:08:06,740 --> 00:08:11,140
So, but we still have plenty of inventory if people are interested.

178
00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:14,100
We'll say this a few times throughout the, throughout the podcast, but basically the

179
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:20,140
best place to come and get it or get information is McHenryMetalsGolf.com still Russ, is that

180
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:21,140
correct?

181
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:22,460
Yes, yes, yes.

182
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:23,460
Yeah.

183
00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:28,900
So we got our website or, you know, call me directly at the golf course currently, honestly.

184
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:30,620
Or at One Stop Golf Shop as well.

185
00:08:30,620 --> 00:08:31,620
Yeah.

186
00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:34,820
My cell phone number or, you know, just get ahold of me at Lake Bernadette right now.

187
00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:38,060
I know it seems weird to, you know, for a golf company, but we want to kind of remain

188
00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:40,860
local until we do move all the products.

189
00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:44,540
So it is located currently at Lake Bernadette.

190
00:08:44,540 --> 00:08:46,740
That's where all of our product is.

191
00:08:46,740 --> 00:08:51,380
And we have over, literally over 3000 pieces still.

192
00:08:51,380 --> 00:08:55,300
So if there's a bigger liquidator out there that might want to, you know, get a good price

193
00:08:55,300 --> 00:09:01,660
on some, on a whole bunch of nice drivers, three woods and five woods, seven woods, we

194
00:09:01,660 --> 00:09:02,660
have that inventory available.

195
00:09:02,660 --> 00:09:03,660
Great.

196
00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:04,660
And all the shafts too.

197
00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:08,080
So Russ, why don't you, because since you came on, you've done a great job marketing

198
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,660
the company and kind of getting some more of the history and even setting up our McHenry

199
00:09:13,660 --> 00:09:15,460
Metals Golf brand ourselves.

200
00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:17,980
So why don't you go kind of talk to that?

201
00:09:17,980 --> 00:09:18,980
Yeah.

202
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:19,980
Yeah.

203
00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:23,060
The, you know, we set it up as a separate, you know, got our business IDs and all that

204
00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:25,220
with the state of Florida.

205
00:09:25,220 --> 00:09:28,980
The one thing that was kind of unique going through, as Sean said, when they went, when

206
00:09:28,980 --> 00:09:34,180
picked up all the inventory, he got several bankers boxes full of paperwork.

207
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:35,820
So I started sifting through all that.

208
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:40,300
And one thing I found was, is they had, I want to say there were like eight different

209
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:45,720
trademarks that were trademarked with the U S patent office, patent and trademark office.

210
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,780
So something you don't really think about, but it's like, oh wow, I got to check on that.

211
00:09:49,780 --> 00:09:54,800
A few of them were about to expire and I think one or two had expired.

212
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,340
So we got those all re-upped and paid our little dues and it wasn't very expensive,

213
00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:04,820
but we've got several of the trademarks like McHenry Metals is trademark and Tour Pure

214
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:06,780
or the power rail system.

215
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:13,020
And there were two, I keep the game pure, I think are different trademarks that we got.

216
00:10:13,020 --> 00:10:20,180
And we did, did establish the website is Sean mentioned mckenrymetalsgolf.com.

217
00:10:20,180 --> 00:10:26,220
And if anybody wants to go, go on mckenrymetalsgolf.com and at the top of there's a homepage and then

218
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:34,560
about us on there, there's a video about the metalwood and the history of McHenry country

219
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:40,260
club where Gary actually designed it and that as they stayed in the video, it's actually,

220
00:10:40,260 --> 00:10:43,340
it's like a four minute video, but it's very cool.

221
00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:47,700
And it says, that's the first place where you, where the sound of a metalwood hitting

222
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:50,420
a golf ball was heard.

223
00:10:50,420 --> 00:10:51,780
And it's kind of, that is really cool.

224
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:52,780
I thought that is cool.

225
00:10:52,780 --> 00:10:53,780
That's very cool.

226
00:10:53,780 --> 00:10:57,400
I think that's, it's a very, yeah, there's some old black and white pictures on there

227
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,400
and everything.

228
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,540
It's a, it was made by Taylor made because it really is a big transformable position

229
00:11:03,540 --> 00:11:04,860
in the game of golf.

230
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:08,020
You know, I mean, it absolutely revolutionized the game of golf.

231
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:11,420
And you know, a lot of people just don't know about McHenry metals.

232
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:16,540
And this is, this is great that we're getting that, the exposure to, you know, what started,

233
00:11:16,540 --> 00:11:21,180
you know, the, the metal run for the woods, which is great revolutionized.

234
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:22,180
It's a cool thing.

235
00:11:22,180 --> 00:11:25,620
I mean, like you, back in the day, they taught like gene saras and invented the sand wedge

236
00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:27,580
here in Newport, Richie.

237
00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:28,580
That's interesting.

238
00:11:28,580 --> 00:11:29,580
That's right.

239
00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:30,580
Yeah.

240
00:11:30,580 --> 00:11:34,220
And I think that's been, it's a great point, T Mac is that it's a kind of seminal moment

241
00:11:34,220 --> 00:11:40,260
in golf when it's switched from wooden woods to metal woods and to have, you know, such

242
00:11:40,260 --> 00:11:44,500
a good history and know that the club is made with intent.

243
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:45,500
Yeah.

244
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:51,260
It's not just a factory, you know, put in as many heads as you can type of thing.

245
00:11:51,260 --> 00:11:54,740
Like they, they put the time and effort into doing it correctly.

246
00:11:54,740 --> 00:11:56,740
And that's why they stand up over the test of time.

247
00:11:56,740 --> 00:11:57,740
Gotcha.

248
00:11:57,740 --> 00:12:01,660
And that's to me, the one of the best things I, you know, I had them at the store for the

249
00:12:01,660 --> 00:12:04,940
last three years and people would come in and say, how come you're only selling this

250
00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:05,940
club for $99?

251
00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:06,940
Yeah.

252
00:12:06,940 --> 00:12:09,340
My answer is cause I could.

253
00:12:09,340 --> 00:12:11,220
What gave him the idea to move to metal?

254
00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:17,060
I mean, did he just kind of have a, a Rika moment or, uh, did he just kind of, was he

255
00:12:17,060 --> 00:12:18,140
kind of an inventor?

256
00:12:18,140 --> 00:12:20,540
Did he just kind of sit around and think about these things?

257
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:22,860
I mean, he grew up on a golf course.

258
00:12:22,860 --> 00:12:27,440
His dad was the head professional for years at McKenna country club, which is just outside

259
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,140
Chicago, this little Northwest of Chicago.

260
00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:33,300
Uh, but I, I, he was a salesman.

261
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:38,460
I want to say he was going to driving ranges or something like that, selling products and

262
00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:44,140
maybe that's, you know, something heavy duty that would last is how we started something,

263
00:12:44,140 --> 00:12:45,140
something like that.

264
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:47,660
I mean, they had to think he was crazy to begin with.

265
00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:52,100
I mean, here you are, you've got a metal club and everything from, you know, the time

266
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:55,420
before Jesus had sandals, they had wooden wooden clubs.

267
00:12:55,420 --> 00:12:58,580
So I mean, it's just amazing that he came up with that idea.

268
00:12:58,580 --> 00:13:01,980
Change in technology and the titanium, the beta titanium.

269
00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:02,980
Yeah.

270
00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:07,340
Um, so my, my couple of stories there, and I've told Russ this before too, like first

271
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:11,580
of all, beta titanium, it's usually, I don't know why I'm getting a little bit nerdy, but

272
00:13:11,580 --> 00:13:17,820
it's usually about 6% titanium, 4% vanadium is the name of, is the other term.

273
00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:19,140
And then there's another one in there too.

274
00:13:19,140 --> 00:13:23,200
And if you've ever seen some of the older metal woods, they would actually spark as

275
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,200
you hit them.

276
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,200
Yeah.

277
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,200
And that's what it is.

278
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,820
It's that combination of that vanadium and titanium mixed together when it hits the sand

279
00:13:31,820 --> 00:13:34,100
coming through is what actually makes a spark.

280
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:35,100
Oh, the interaction.

281
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:36,100
Okay.

282
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:37,100
Very cool.

283
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:40,420
So, um, again, like you're saying, TMac, maybe some people on the testing sites thought

284
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:41,420
that was pretty weird.

285
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:42,420
I bet.

286
00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:43,420
Yeah.

287
00:13:43,420 --> 00:13:46,940
But, um, and the other part that I like to bring up a lot too is, um, on the, on the

288
00:13:46,940 --> 00:13:49,500
woods, on the fairy woods, the three wood, five wood and seven wood.

289
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:53,380
So when we purchased the company, we got, um, and it's right handed only at this point,

290
00:13:53,380 --> 00:13:57,300
um, in the future, we'll talk about the future later, but basically what we purchased was

291
00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:03,740
right handed fairy woods and they had some, uh, a few hybrids, but on the stamping on

292
00:14:03,740 --> 00:14:07,740
the rail of the metal wood, it says forged steel.

293
00:14:07,740 --> 00:14:09,300
All right.

294
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:15,220
Um, and the interesting thing to me, it's miraging, maraging steel is what it's called.

295
00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:16,220
Sorry.

296
00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:20,460
The interesting thing to me about that is that you look at my irons today, which are

297
00:14:20,460 --> 00:14:25,460
Ping I five 25, 2023 irons.

298
00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:30,080
If you look through the literature on how they sell the Ping I five 25 iron, they talk

299
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:36,740
about the new miraging steel repackaging.

300
00:14:36,740 --> 00:14:40,620
You know, I mean, and I brought that up to the, uh, ping rep when he was in my store,

301
00:14:40,620 --> 00:14:42,620
I said, you guys came up with this new material.

302
00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:43,820
He's like, yeah, it's amazing.

303
00:14:43,820 --> 00:14:47,660
Our R and D department came up with it and I'm like, well, let me show you this five

304
00:14:47,660 --> 00:14:50,580
wood from 20 years ago.

305
00:14:50,580 --> 00:14:51,940
Oh no, no, it's a different process.

306
00:14:51,940 --> 00:14:54,500
I said, sure.

307
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:55,500
Just repackage.

308
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:56,500
That's all.

309
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:57,500
That's all.

310
00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:01,180
You have to talk to a metallurgical engineer and see if it's really.

311
00:15:01,180 --> 00:15:06,260
So Russ, I was reading that, uh, McHenry metals in the beginning played a significant role

312
00:15:06,260 --> 00:15:07,260
in the senior tour.

313
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:08,260
Is that correct?

314
00:15:08,260 --> 00:15:15,460
Yeah, I believe 2000, 2001, uh, it was the leading driver on the senior tour.

315
00:15:15,460 --> 00:15:16,460
Wow.

316
00:15:16,460 --> 00:15:18,780
I think it was hard part.

317
00:15:18,780 --> 00:15:24,300
There were like 16 championships that, uh, we're using, uh, McHenry metals, either the,

318
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:28,060
the three woods or, you know, the woods, the drivers.

319
00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:29,060
Yeah.

320
00:15:29,060 --> 00:15:31,740
So yeah, it's got a very good pass.

321
00:15:31,740 --> 00:15:33,420
It kind of rest what you're saying too.

322
00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:36,900
If you look through some of those old folders that we have, you know, when we, when we purchased

323
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:38,380
the company too, it was kind of weird.

324
00:15:38,380 --> 00:15:41,940
Like we walk in again, the guy's like, okay, this is all yours.

325
00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:43,580
And I'm like, okay, well, we'll just take the clubs.

326
00:15:43,580 --> 00:15:48,140
He goes, no, no, the desk, the stapler, the computer, you got it all.

327
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:49,620
You purchased the entire thing.

328
00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:50,620
So yeah.

329
00:15:50,620 --> 00:15:54,760
So, so the, uh, tollings, which is what Russ was referring to earlier.

330
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,880
So kind of the patent tolling is the actual, like the actual head that you would send to

331
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,460
China or, or Britain or whatever to actually get more.

332
00:16:03,460 --> 00:16:04,460
It's a mold.

333
00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:05,460
Okay.

334
00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:06,460
Yep.

335
00:16:06,460 --> 00:16:07,660
So we own those and we actually have the physical tollings.

336
00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:10,260
So whenever you want to manufacture, you can go back and do that.

337
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:11,260
That's great.

338
00:16:11,260 --> 00:16:14,300
So you can send that information to the manufacturer and get more made.

339
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:20,260
But basically the, uh, the, those folders of kind of like you were saying with the black

340
00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:26,660
white pictures, you see some, you know, old senior players, which would probably be almost,

341
00:16:26,660 --> 00:16:32,940
um, I don't have the names in front of me, but, but kind of like the Larry Mize sort

342
00:16:32,940 --> 00:16:38,580
of, uh, you know, John cook that kind of era, which is not that old, but again, 2000, it's

343
00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:41,620
when those guys were starting to move to that tour.

344
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:46,620
Um, but those guys were at least either testing it and there's some data there too, like,

345
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:51,460
Hey, they went to demo days and they had these 15 different tour players test them.

346
00:16:51,460 --> 00:16:55,780
And then you'll see like the results or the, the, you know, Hey, their comments and they're

347
00:16:55,780 --> 00:16:58,660
like, Oh, this is one of the best feeling golf clubs I've ever hit.

348
00:16:58,660 --> 00:16:59,660
Oh wow.

349
00:16:59,660 --> 00:17:03,260
Um, you know, matches up just with the Taylor made in Callaway of the day.

350
00:17:03,260 --> 00:17:04,260
Gotta love that.

351
00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:05,260
Yeah.

352
00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:09,780
And, and, and Russ, I think they'd always pretty much done almost like a ground swell,

353
00:17:09,780 --> 00:17:10,780
like ground movement.

354
00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:12,820
They didn't have a lot of advertising dollars.

355
00:17:12,820 --> 00:17:17,220
They really just sold their product on the demo teas and kind of from word of mouth from

356
00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:19,340
the different pros, right?

357
00:17:19,340 --> 00:17:20,340
Correct.

358
00:17:20,340 --> 00:17:21,340
Yeah.

359
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:24,660
That ended in different, obviously country clubs and things were buying them.

360
00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:25,660
Yep.

361
00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:26,660
In the day.

362
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:27,660
Yeah.

363
00:17:27,660 --> 00:17:30,820
Um, so, uh, I play the three wood, five wood, seven wood.

364
00:17:30,820 --> 00:17:31,820
Um, I do.

365
00:17:31,820 --> 00:17:35,860
I, I will put it up against anybody else's club out there.

366
00:17:35,860 --> 00:17:36,860
Currently.

367
00:17:36,860 --> 00:17:39,020
Um, I hit it just as far.

368
00:17:39,020 --> 00:17:40,660
The seven wood is amazing.

369
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:42,060
Really has replaced my four iron.

370
00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:43,060
Okay.

371
00:17:43,060 --> 00:17:44,820
You know, um, it's got those rails in the bottom.

372
00:17:44,820 --> 00:17:46,820
That's very convenient, very easy to hit.

373
00:17:46,820 --> 00:17:49,460
Gets it gets the ball up and out very easily.

374
00:17:49,460 --> 00:17:55,060
Um, you know, maybe to today's standard, a little smaller profile for the fair woods

375
00:17:55,060 --> 00:18:00,540
than today's standard, which have kind of gone to that wider, uh, almost deeper, you

376
00:18:00,540 --> 00:18:01,540
know, look.

377
00:18:01,540 --> 00:18:05,860
I mean, the three wood nowadays looks kind of like the old drivers that we used to have

378
00:18:05,860 --> 00:18:08,700
as kids, you know, so they've gotten very big.

379
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:13,340
Um, but you know, I'm, I'm sure with the McHenry metals, it's a lot more workable, which I'm

380
00:18:13,340 --> 00:18:18,180
finding as I get older, I want more of, um, I want to be able to work that ball a little

381
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:19,180
bit more left to right.

382
00:18:19,180 --> 00:18:22,020
And probably having that smaller face allows me to do that as well.

383
00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:23,020
Yeah.

384
00:18:23,020 --> 00:18:24,020
And it's not in the fair.

385
00:18:24,020 --> 00:18:27,900
I think Russ, would you probably agree like the, the, the comparison of the fair wood

386
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:33,240
of today versus McHenry and the driver of today, you know, versus McHenry, the difference

387
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,940
is the driver that that's the one that really kind of shows up as a little smaller profile.

388
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:42,460
Um, but the fair woods are really classic looking.

389
00:18:42,460 --> 00:18:45,700
They kind of have that pair, that pear shape, you know?

390
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:50,740
Um, and I think that, uh, and they jump off the ball that that's the, they just jump off

391
00:18:50,740 --> 00:18:51,740
the ball.

392
00:18:51,740 --> 00:18:54,820
That's the big thing I hear from the people that currently play them that we've sold them

393
00:18:54,820 --> 00:19:01,140
to again, kind of like, you know, I'd sell the guy a three wood and then he'd be back

394
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,140
in the next day.

395
00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:03,620
I need the five and seven.

396
00:19:03,620 --> 00:19:05,380
You got to get it all, get the whole package.

397
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:06,380
Yeah.

398
00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:09,420
They almost don't believe like, how can this be so good for a hundred dollars?

399
00:19:09,420 --> 00:19:10,420
Yeah.

400
00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:14,020
And, um, so, and that's a very reasonable price for a hundred bucks to get a driver

401
00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:17,620
that's, you know, just comparable to all the other ones is amazing.

402
00:19:17,620 --> 00:19:18,620
Yep.

403
00:19:18,620 --> 00:19:19,620
Yep.

404
00:19:19,620 --> 00:19:24,540
Um, we've done some testing inside and track man at my store and, uh, I've got a couple

405
00:19:24,540 --> 00:19:29,260
of players who get it up around 115 miles per hour swing speed, you know, and they will

406
00:19:29,260 --> 00:19:32,740
carry the ball three, three Oh five type of thing.

407
00:19:32,740 --> 00:19:35,820
And they will take a McKendree metal driver and they will carry the ball three, three

408
00:19:35,820 --> 00:19:36,820
Oh five.

409
00:19:36,820 --> 00:19:37,820
Okay.

410
00:19:37,820 --> 00:19:38,820
Yep.

411
00:19:38,820 --> 00:19:39,820
Yep.

412
00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:40,820
Yeah.

413
00:19:40,820 --> 00:19:41,820
Yeah.

414
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:42,820
It's just a couple of the players there.

415
00:19:42,820 --> 00:19:46,000
And then the only reason if they don't purchase it is because it's the size and it's just

416
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,540
depends on, but as we've talked about it, Russ, there's so many more uses for this club,

417
00:19:51,540 --> 00:19:53,620
meaning driving ranges.

418
00:19:53,620 --> 00:19:55,900
This would be a perfect golf club for a drive range.

419
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:56,900
Yeah.

420
00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:57,900
Right.

421
00:19:57,900 --> 00:19:58,900
Yeah.

422
00:19:58,900 --> 00:19:59,900
Almost go back range rentals.

423
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:00,900
Yep.

424
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:01,900
Yeah.

425
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:04,340
Rental sets, uh, juniors, juniors would be great.

426
00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:05,340
Yeah.

427
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:10,180
And just people that like playing golf want a brand new club that, you know, you don't

428
00:20:10,180 --> 00:20:14,700
have to spend 450 bucks for a new driver on the low side right now.

429
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:16,580
Because golf is a very expensive sport.

430
00:20:16,580 --> 00:20:20,820
And if you can, if you can get in and get good quality stuff at a good quality prices,

431
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:23,180
that's that's pretty unique these days.

432
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:24,180
Yep.

433
00:20:24,180 --> 00:20:28,380
So typically what we do is basically the clubs are a hundred dollars between 90 and a hundred,

434
00:20:28,380 --> 00:20:29,580
depending on where we're selling them.

435
00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:30,580
Okay.

436
00:20:30,580 --> 00:20:33,820
And then we'll do usually a series of three, a package of three for two 25.

437
00:20:33,820 --> 00:20:34,820
Okay.

438
00:20:34,820 --> 00:20:37,380
And that's like Russ just said for $225.

439
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:39,500
Now you got three golf clubs.

440
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:42,980
That's less than the price of half of a full driver right now.

441
00:20:42,980 --> 00:20:43,980
Absolutely.

442
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:44,980
Yeah.

443
00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:45,980
You know, and it's not that alloy.

444
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:51,540
It's not that material that's, uh, that you'll see at the, the commercial stores or whatever,

445
00:20:51,540 --> 00:20:55,580
or an Amazon, I would say, I'm, I don't mind badmouthing them for a second.

446
00:20:55,580 --> 00:21:00,700
Um, there's, there's so many golfers that purchase product on Amazon just because they

447
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:02,900
see it as a good value.

448
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:07,500
And then they'll come in three months later and they're, it's either rusting or the shafts

449
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:09,100
broken or something.

450
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,100
Name recognition is what they're purchasing on Amazon.

451
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:13,100
Yeah.

452
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:16,260
Well, yeah, it just, uh, it doesn't, it doesn't stand up.

453
00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:19,700
So, um, yeah, it's a, it's a great option.

454
00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:20,980
Russ mentioned the mini driver.

455
00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:23,580
Talk about that a little more, Russ, cause I, I'm going to give you the credit.

456
00:21:23,580 --> 00:21:26,940
I thought that was a great inventive way to try to move some product.

457
00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:27,940
Yeah.

458
00:21:27,940 --> 00:21:33,140
Well, as, as Tim was saying, I mean, just recently, um, we're watching the golf, what

459
00:21:33,140 --> 00:21:38,700
during the seer, I don't know if it was the FedEx or is it the end of the year, two or

460
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:43,580
three of the players, and I can't recall which ones were using a mini driver and, uh, Taylor

461
00:21:43,580 --> 00:21:47,660
maids come out with a new one, which is a number one, not the four 60 head.

462
00:21:47,660 --> 00:21:49,260
It's a little smaller head.

463
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:50,260
Yep.

464
00:21:50,260 --> 00:21:52,740
And they cut two inches off the length of the driver.

465
00:21:52,740 --> 00:21:57,820
So it gives you more control when you're saying, Hey, I can give up 10, 15 yards, maybe 20

466
00:21:57,820 --> 00:21:59,580
yards, but I'm in the middle of the fairway.

467
00:21:59,580 --> 00:22:01,780
I'll take that any day on a tight course.

468
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:03,420
Uh, and it's good.

469
00:22:03,420 --> 00:22:04,420
You'll have more control.

470
00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:05,660
It was a little bit shorter club.

471
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:09,340
So we've modified ours to, uh, to fit that bill.

472
00:22:09,340 --> 00:22:11,740
I mean, it's, it's like, why not same price?

473
00:22:11,740 --> 00:22:16,340
Uh, you know, the Taylor maids still selling them for probably 400 bucks or more.

474
00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:18,060
And it's the same club.

475
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:19,060
Yep.

476
00:22:19,060 --> 00:22:20,740
And, uh, the lofts for the drivers.

477
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:24,820
And again, that's kind of a unique thing because now they're typically adjustable, but that's

478
00:22:24,820 --> 00:22:26,860
the $560 driver.

479
00:22:26,860 --> 00:22:31,740
Um, the, the lofts are eight degrees, nine and a half degrees, 10 and a half degrees

480
00:22:31,740 --> 00:22:33,060
and 11 and a half degrees.

481
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:34,060
Okay.

482
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:37,900
So really good range for the player who maybe the senior player who might want the 11 and

483
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:43,340
a half or the lady, or as I mentioned, the junior, I think those are all perfectly fit

484
00:22:43,340 --> 00:22:44,980
lofts for that person.

485
00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:45,980
Yeah.

486
00:22:45,980 --> 00:22:49,740
Um, and then, uh, basically, you know, we can customize the shaft length.

487
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:58,020
Um, so you gotta think of try, try to go get a custom car or a custom, you know, cabinet

488
00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:02,260
set or anything for, for less money than the standard one that's on the market.

489
00:23:02,260 --> 00:23:03,260
That this is what we're doing.

490
00:23:03,260 --> 00:23:06,260
We're doing custom golf clubs, your length.

491
00:23:06,260 --> 00:23:10,860
Um, you know, whatever length sets up best to you, we have shafts that are either stiff,

492
00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:13,660
regular truck, regular flex or light flex.

493
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:19,300
And that light can be cut to either, uh, basically go to a ladies flex or a senior flex or a

494
00:23:19,300 --> 00:23:23,820
junior senior in that lights, basically a senior flex, right?

495
00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:24,820
Yeah.

496
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:28,580
It's, it's, it's in that, uh, lighter gram weight and also the flex points lower, but

497
00:23:28,580 --> 00:23:33,500
we can cut the, uh, from the butt end to make it a little different, um, flex point is kind

498
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:34,500
of the idea.

499
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:37,180
And, uh, so yeah, so just a lot of good options.

500
00:23:37,180 --> 00:23:42,700
And again, uh, you know, it's sometimes I get frustrated as I'm trying to talk to a

501
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:45,700
customer cause they give me, they give me more questions about this than they do the

502
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:46,700
$600 driver.

503
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:52,460
And I'm like, sir, ma'am for a hundred dollars, it's you spent, you spent a lot of stupid.

504
00:23:52,460 --> 00:23:53,900
I think it's just one of those things.

505
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:55,220
It's too good to be true.

506
00:23:55,220 --> 00:23:56,700
You know, everybody's too worried about it.

507
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:58,140
It's too good of a good deal.

508
00:23:58,140 --> 00:24:03,780
So you know, and we have the drive, the drivers, you've got lefties too, correct?

509
00:24:03,780 --> 00:24:05,980
We do have some left handed 10 and a half and 11 and a half.

510
00:24:05,980 --> 00:24:07,700
So the heads that we've still got available.

511
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:08,700
Yeah.

512
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:09,700
Gotcha.

513
00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:10,700
Okay.

514
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:14,300
And I think we should, and to your point you were making, you know, with Christmas

515
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:17,980
coming up and somebody, you know, a birthday or something, who wants to buy somebody a

516
00:24:17,980 --> 00:24:22,380
used club for birthday, you know, or Christmas and I just brand new, still got the wrapper

517
00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:23,380
on the head.

518
00:24:23,380 --> 00:24:24,380
Yep.

519
00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:25,380
I mean, it's a brand new club.

520
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:26,780
So that's a good point.

521
00:24:26,780 --> 00:24:27,780
That's a good point.

522
00:24:27,780 --> 00:24:33,900
Um, and then they do make, we, or they have wedges, which we have 52 degree wedges and

523
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:35,660
60 degree wedges in stock.

524
00:24:35,660 --> 00:24:40,740
And those two, to the point again, TMAC is that they're made with dynamic old shafts.

525
00:24:40,740 --> 00:24:43,780
The same thing you're going to get from the tailor made Callaway and all the other big

526
00:24:43,780 --> 00:24:44,780
boys, right?

527
00:24:44,780 --> 00:24:45,780
Right.

528
00:24:45,780 --> 00:24:47,820
Um, his system on the wedges was called tri bounce.

529
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:52,220
So essentially you'll purchase wedges now currently that have specific bounce to them,

530
00:24:52,220 --> 00:24:55,120
you know, like a 56 degree with 10 degree bounce.

531
00:24:55,120 --> 00:25:00,100
So this is a system that's designed basically how you lay the club on the ground.

532
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:02,480
So if you open it up more, it's got more bounce.

533
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,460
If you square it up, you know, or close it, it's got less bounce.

534
00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:10,460
So the bounce kind of adjusts to, to what your lyre or your loft is going to be.

535
00:25:10,460 --> 00:25:11,460
That's, that's pretty unique.

536
00:25:11,460 --> 00:25:12,460
Yeah.

537
00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:15,900
And we had 56 when Russ came on board, but he did such a good job selling.

538
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:18,380
Uh, we ended up, those are all gone.

539
00:25:18,380 --> 00:25:26,860
We sold 1200 wedges to, uh, to, to that, um, uh, rock bottom golf 1200 wedges at one time.

540
00:25:26,860 --> 00:25:27,860
Wow.

541
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:28,860
Yeah.

542
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:31,180
And we still have more 56 or 52s and sixties.

543
00:25:31,180 --> 00:25:36,980
So, um, it's a very, it's a little heavier wedge than today's standard, but I think in

544
00:25:36,980 --> 00:25:39,500
the bunker, the 60 is perfect.

545
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:40,500
That's what I'm saying.

546
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:42,180
You know, that's what people need.

547
00:25:42,180 --> 00:25:46,620
They need to be able to drive through the sand and some of the heavier rough to get

548
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:47,620
through.

549
00:25:47,620 --> 00:25:53,420
So I really liked the 60 and I think the 52 is just again, kind of a nice, heavy, smooth,

550
00:25:53,420 --> 00:25:55,580
uh, feeling through impact.

551
00:25:55,580 --> 00:25:59,660
Um, distances again, very comparable to the current wedges of today.

552
00:25:59,660 --> 00:26:00,660
Gotcha.

553
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:04,940
You can't 52 of 24 years ago versus 52 of 2023.

554
00:26:04,940 --> 00:26:06,860
It's the same 52 didn't change.

555
00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:07,860
Gotcha.

556
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:08,860
Gotcha.

557
00:26:08,860 --> 00:26:09,860
Yep.

558
00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:10,860
And a good feel off of them too.

559
00:26:10,860 --> 00:26:11,860
A very nice feel.

560
00:26:11,860 --> 00:26:15,980
So, um, I've got a few customers who good amount of spin off the face.

561
00:26:15,980 --> 00:26:16,980
Yeah.

562
00:26:16,980 --> 00:26:17,980
Yeah.

563
00:26:17,980 --> 00:26:18,980
Well, think about that team.

564
00:26:18,980 --> 00:26:23,860
Not great question, but the difference on the face is it's not, um, they weren't governed

565
00:26:23,860 --> 00:26:26,500
by the, the USDA standards.

566
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:27,500
So they have the U-shaper.

567
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:29,860
Well, the grooves are a little bit bigger.

568
00:26:29,860 --> 00:26:30,860
Okay.

569
00:26:30,860 --> 00:26:33,300
In between, you know, the space in between the grooves, a little bit bigger.

570
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:34,300
Perfect.

571
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:35,300
I'm picking me up one.

572
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:36,300
Yeah.

573
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:41,500
So, uh, so yeah, so that's 60s, uh, excellent, excellent tool there.

574
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:46,100
Um, but Russ, if you want, or, you know, maybe I can go into it too, but, but let's go with,

575
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:50,140
let's go with maybe two years down the road, like our ideal situation, what happens with

576
00:26:50,140 --> 00:26:53,980
McHenry metals and what we do, we've kind of discussed this as some internal business

577
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:57,980
meetings, but like, what's our ideal thing that we do two years from now, if everything

578
00:26:57,980 --> 00:26:59,700
works out well with McHenry.

579
00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:05,660
Well, we'd like to, uh, if we can gather enough funds after, uh, selling this inventory, we'd

580
00:27:05,660 --> 00:27:11,300
like to, you know, upsize it to the, to the current standard of 460 CCs.

581
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:12,300
Right.

582
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:15,020
Uh, and, uh, go from there.

583
00:27:15,020 --> 00:27:19,460
Basically like reintroduce it into the market at a, again, kind of a lower cost alternative,

584
00:27:19,460 --> 00:27:22,700
maybe a 249 or one 99 type of golf.

585
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:23,700
Yeah.

586
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:28,180
So there's still be, yeah, a lot cheaper than a new, uh, tailor made Callaway.

587
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:29,180
Yeah.

588
00:27:29,180 --> 00:27:30,340
And we're going to go with those types of clubs.

589
00:27:30,340 --> 00:27:35,020
And that's, that's the cool kind of thing about having the, the tollings, like I mentioned

590
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:36,700
and having the trademarks.

591
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:38,220
Yeah, that's amazing.

592
00:27:38,220 --> 00:27:39,220
Yeah.

593
00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:43,140
That we can, you know, once the funds are there, we could literally call up again.

594
00:27:43,140 --> 00:27:44,780
I hate to do it China or whatever.

595
00:27:44,780 --> 00:27:45,780
Yeah.

596
00:27:45,780 --> 00:27:48,740
At this point, that's kind of where 97% of the stuff is made.

597
00:27:48,740 --> 00:27:49,740
Correct.

598
00:27:49,740 --> 00:27:56,020
Um, but in order 5,000 and start coming out to, you know, your Dicks and your golf galaxies

599
00:27:56,020 --> 00:28:01,620
and basically having, Hey, here's this option for, like I said, one 99, whatever that number

600
00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:02,620
is.

601
00:28:02,620 --> 00:28:06,260
Um, but we're still going to put a good shaft into it and it's got that heritage.

602
00:28:06,260 --> 00:28:07,260
It's got that name.

603
00:28:07,260 --> 00:28:08,260
Yeah.

604
00:28:08,260 --> 00:28:09,260
It's got a rich history, doesn't it?

605
00:28:09,260 --> 00:28:10,260
I mean, it really does.

606
00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:11,260
Yeah.

607
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:12,260
Yep.

608
00:28:12,260 --> 00:28:13,260
Yeah.

609
00:28:13,260 --> 00:28:14,260
Very rich.

610
00:28:14,260 --> 00:28:17,220
So, um, Russ at McKendree golf club, is that where they have, I've seen this on a YouTube

611
00:28:17,220 --> 00:28:18,220
thing before.

612
00:28:18,220 --> 00:28:21,220
Don't they have like a statue of Gary there or something?

613
00:28:21,220 --> 00:28:22,220
Yeah.

614
00:28:22,220 --> 00:28:23,220
At the golf course they do.

615
00:28:23,220 --> 00:28:24,220
Yeah.

616
00:28:24,220 --> 00:28:27,820
It may just be a big plaque, but that where it all started.

617
00:28:27,820 --> 00:28:28,820
Right.

618
00:28:28,820 --> 00:28:29,820
That's kind of cool.

619
00:28:29,820 --> 00:28:33,060
Again, that video is excellent for anybody that's big golf enthusiasts.

620
00:28:33,060 --> 00:28:34,560
Take the time to look at it.

621
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,560
It's really cool.

622
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,300
You'll, you'll get a kick out of it.

623
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:38,300
Yep.

624
00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:41,540
So, um, so I'm going to go with, it's either available through basically, if you want to

625
00:28:41,540 --> 00:28:45,660
contact somebody, Russ, what's the best place to go through again?

626
00:28:45,660 --> 00:28:49,780
Well, the best place to be able to get ahold of yourself.

627
00:28:49,780 --> 00:28:50,780
Yep.

628
00:28:50,780 --> 00:28:52,340
Uh, we do offer them on eBay.

629
00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:59,700
Uh, you got to make sure you're using, uh, Sean's, uh, uh, seller, which is, uh, what

630
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:01,500
SK seven two seven two.

631
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:02,500
Yep.

632
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:03,500
Yep.

633
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:08,060
That'll be a right to one stop golf shop, uh, there in, uh, like, uh, links of Lake

634
00:29:08,060 --> 00:29:14,220
Bernadette to get ahold of that club, uh, or call Sean directly and he can take care

635
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:15,580
of getting it set up.

636
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:16,580
Yep.

637
00:29:16,580 --> 00:29:17,580
And what was that website again?

638
00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:22,660
From the camera website, just mckenry metals golf.com.

639
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:23,660
Okay.

640
00:29:23,660 --> 00:29:24,660
Yep.

641
00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:25,660
Perfect.

642
00:29:25,660 --> 00:29:27,220
So they'll have the information on there.

643
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:28,340
Well, that's great, Russ.

644
00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:30,940
We really appreciate you coming on board and joining with us.

645
00:29:30,940 --> 00:29:32,300

650
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:41,900
Oh, okay.
