The company cited a decline in golf club sales due to shifting consumer preferences toward diversified leisure activities, as well as tighter inventory management by competitors. Additionally, lower-than-expected custom shaft orders for its own brand led to higher cost of goods sold, reducing gross margin. Rising operational expenses from inflation further pressured profitability.

The revised forecast signals potential underperformance against initial expectations, reflecting broader market challenges and operational headwinds. Investors are advised to monitor future guidance and strategic adjustments as the company navigates these difficulties.
