Haha wow really? It’s rare to see attack ads by tennis companies. Although I do remember either prince or head having something to the tune of “every blade eventually loses its edge”.
Wasn't an attack ad so much as an announcement. Competitor (to TW) was basically saying prices are going up soon, so buy now.
Hence the recent Pro Staff substantial discount daununder; incidentally RF97 V.13 now retailing at TO for $379.95 AUD/$274.29 USD
He wasn't getting good reception though, so he still had to go to the locker room.
Well….. 25K ex dock to mid west US for a 40HQ…. If you can find one. 35K…. If it gets to that I’m going to quit and go be a bartender in the keys.
My desire to holic just died a little. I’m wondering if the Pro Lab racquets will also see an increase.
Crap. Just got the email:
Anything’s possible. But when will the costs go down? Everything I’ve read says over 10K for all of 2022. Which is better than 25K. But it was 4500 in 2019.
It's always possible... in the tech markets prices fluctuate a lot... especially with RAM chips. Price does come back down usually, but that's due in a large part to competition and supply/demand. Without one or both of those forces in the consumers favor... prices could stay the same. If they do come back down it probably won't be to where they once were before they went up... especially if the demand is there.
I would start calling bars in the Keys
If manufacturer costs go down I think this would more likely play out as prices staying the same for longer than usual rather than coming back down. As an example instead of the generation in 2023 going up the usual $10 or $20 it’d keep the 2022 price.
Blade V7 probably stays the same because the V8 will be introduced in September with a higher price.
