Design... modify, add to, take away, make it harder, use it differently, or completely change the product by sharpening the angle

Strong RTB = Strong $ale$
GOLD (EDITOR'S CHOICE)ODYSSEY WHITE HOT XG 2-BALL SRTSTREET PRICE: $200.SPECS: Eight Versions (White Steel, White Hot and regular 2-Ball).KEY TECHNOLOGY: The 2-Ball uses golf-ball-size discs on the top of the putter to help the user align square to the target. The SRT has an alloy ring that pushes weight away from the center of gravity in the aluminum head, providing support and increasing moment of inertia.PANELIST COMMENTS: "It has become the standard others are measured against. . . . This well-worn design just keeps getting better every time they redo it. . . . The insert is an improvement over the White Steel in terms of feel."JUDGES' VERDICT: It's almost impossible to remember what putting was like before the 2-Ball. It's not a gimmick, certainly not in its latest technological form. The ring improved moment of inertia last year, and the White Hot XG insert creates a favorite feel this year.

Is Marketing Research Worth the Expense? Is Marketing Research Worth the Expense?
A survey of small business managers in Texas revealed that
84 percent of those who conducted formal marketing research projects in the past three years felt that the information obtained was worth the money spent.
Overall, 58 percent said that they were able to incorporate the research findings into their decision-making process.
Only six percent reported that they were not able to implement the results.
Consequently, when small businesses do engage in marketing research the benefits usually exceed the costs.
