Golf Brands That Drop and Vanish
Eighteen brands in the Index operate on a drop model with no restock behind it. The run is made, it sells or it does not, and the next thing is a different thing. Sentinel Golf, Mogshade, Radry and Gamut Golf all work this way by design rather than by supply-chain accident.
This is the single most actionable tag in the Index, and the advice attached to it is blunt: the decision is at announcement, not at payday. Sugarloaf Social Club and Gumtree Golf & Nature Club routinely sell through in hours. If you are tracking anything here, track the announcement channel rather than the shop.
