    3M’s Sports and Leisure Products business unit took an existing technology, 3M’s “micro-replication” and applied it to a golf glove. 3M has enjoyed great success from combining the “micro-replication” with high quality Cabretta sheep leather to create a high quality golfing glove that is second to none being offered on the market. Since the introduction of the 3M Greptile Grip golf glove there has been a large influx of competitors who offer a similar technology in the golf market. Although the global market for golf gloves is estimated at $300 million with 60 percent or $180 million in the United States. The problem is mass merchandisers have increased their share of the market over the past year. With companies such as Nike, Titleist, and FootJoy offering product’s that focus on technology and comfort that differentiate their golfing gloves from competitor’s gloves on the market. 3M has a reputation for innovation; the Greptile Grip Technology is in the growth stage of the product life cycle. So 3M must find ways to promote future growth of this technology, this leaves two questions for 3M: (1) what other applications do I envision for the Greptile technology within the sports and leisure market?

    1 In the 21st century, some environmental variables that may affect Prince Sports include ever-changing technology and the deployment and use of social media amongst all age groups. The use of social media is a marketing powerhouse. Microsoft and Facebook sell consumer information to companies who then in turn can fine tune their marketing strategies. They can also reach a larger audience, and more specifically, a younger one, ensuring they can have long-term customers. The constant changing of technology has its drawbacks too. The market is saturated with cheap materials and due to the rise of the popularity of the sport, demand is increasing. With the cost of everything rising, marketing for a cost effective yet competitive product is key.2 Prince sponsors tennis training camps for kids and adults. They are interested in continuing the rise of tennis in the US. By fostering training and awareness, young consumers who might not have aware of the joys of tennis have a fun and educational experience. Prince also holds “demo events” where consumers can gain awareness for the company and try out their new products themselves.3 Prince designs and markets their racquets to meet the needs of three distinct styles of players. They also meet the need for three levels of players from pros on television, recreational players and juniors or children. To reach recreational players, they realize that not everyone is a pro, and that everyone has a different swing. They create their products with this in mind. Demo racquets and promotional material is placed in stores where the recreational player may shop. This also can pertain to the junior players. Another all-encompassing trait that Prince practices is utilizing the combination of price point, technology and performance. Recreational players are typically older, with disposable income. They can afford better racquets, and may keep the same one for a little longer than the...…

    History Of Golf Essay

    • 641 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Golf is a game played on a large open-air course, in which a small hard ball is struck with a club into a series of small holes in the ground. The object being to use the fewest possible strokes to complete the course. Golf began around 1457 when King James ll of Scotland banned Golf and football because he wanted people to focus on archery. The first major item you need to play golf is a golf ball. Some of the first golf balls were made entirely of hardwood, such as beech and box trees. These balls appeared during the 15th century and remained in use until the 17th century. Of course, a typical wooden golf ball would only last for a few games before it needed to be replaced. An alternative type of golf ball, known as a feathery, also appeared around the era of the wooden ball. A feathery was basically a leather pouch filled with chicken or goose feathers. Due to the extensive labor and materials required, a single feathery ball would often cost the modern-day equivalent of $10-$20. Today we now use many materials into making golf balls, but the majority can be broken down into three categories: rubbers, ionomers and urethanes. The second major item you need is a club. In the earliest days of golf, players initially carved their own clubs from wood. They soon turned to skilled craftsmen to produce competitive equipment. Club heads were made from tough wood such as beech, holly, pear and apple. Shafts were made from ash or hazel. The head was connected to the shaft using a splint and…

A new golf ball coating designed to resist cuts and provide a more durable ball have been developed and tested. A sample of 40 balls of both the new and current models were tested with a mechanical hitting machine so that any difference between the mean distances for the two models could be attributed to a difference in the two models. Therefore, the hypothesis test that Par could use to compare the driving distances of the current and new golf balls can be formulated as follows:…
