Dicks to stop carrying Cobra Drivers

[wakefield724]

I went to but the F7+ today and was informed that Dicks will not longer be carrying Cobra drivers. The employee told me it was because the company was not doing well. I almost slapped him for saying something so stupid. But it is a disappointing thing to see. Not many options available there anymore

Dicks also owns Golf Galaxy. Try there?

Why’s it stupid?

Maybe Cobra clubs aren’t selling very well at Dick’s.

I know the proshop where I work does't carry Cobra anymore, we couldn't give the stupid things away. Simple business sense if something ain't selling you stop carrying it.

Not conclusive, but Puma owns Cobra, and I looked at their most recent financial statements - Cobra golf isn't even mentioned. They talk about soccer, running, motorsports, signing Big Sean to promote Puma, Women's apparel and celebs, shoe tech, brands, distribution. If there's a separate Cobra golf financial statement, I couldn't find it. IME if they thought golf was signficant and/or growing, it would at least get a mention in financial statements/reporting. There's ZERO.

I didn't even know Dick's carried Cobra. Everything they have when I go in there seems to be either Callaway or Taylormade. I also rarely see anybody using Cobra clubs.
