Can you imagine...15,000,000 dozen balls per year = one third the world total .

Taipei, Mar. 22, 2010 (CENS) – La\nch Technologies Co., a specialized maker of golf balls in Taiwan, will set up a new plant in the industrial processing zone in Pingtung, southern Taiwan, with the new plant to raise the company's annual output from the existing 7.5 million dozens of golf balls to 10-15 million dozens within three years, turning the firm into the world's largest golf ball subcontractor.

Launch is a subsidiary of Advanced

International Multitech Co. (AIT), one of Taiwan's leading golf equipment makers. AIT has been turning out mainly golf clubs and heads and about four years ago decided to diversify into golf balls, hence its setting up in 2006 a new plant nearby its headquarters in Tashu, Kaohsiung County, next to Pingtung.

Seeing growing demand for balls, AIT recently decided to invest US$10.94 million to set up a new golf ball plant in Pingtung's processing zone, also moving Launch into the zone as well. Initially Launch will add one more production line to raise golf ball output by 2.5 million dozens, with expansion perhaps scheduled for later depending on demand.

Insiders disclosed that Launch's net profit is usually 20%-25%, with annual revenues of about US$62.5 million per year. Its major clients include world-famous brands as TaylorMade, Callaway, Dick's, and Mizuno, with Callaway and TaylorMade placing annual orders of three million dozens and two million dozens, respectively.

interesting their current revenue of 62.5M on 7.5M dozen balls. That means they charge about $8.33/dozen

Well son, when a Mommy golf ball and a Daddy golf ball love each other very much...

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

I was always under the impression that love was optional but liquor was mandatory.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Golf ball come from store. Store sell things. Lose all golf ball, buy more golf ball from golf store, or find golf ball in gopher hole.

    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
