Pulmosan Full Face Masks, part 1
Pulmosan (from the Latin word Pulmo, for lung, and Sanitas, for Health, literally "Lung Health, or Sanitary Breathing" ig) is one of the more interesting US industrial gas mask sellers of the 20th century. Although they did not design many masks in house, they did manufacture a wide variety of designs that ran the gamut from cutting edge to downright bizarre. In the short time that I'm home currently I'm trying to get some basic documentation down, admittedly the photos kind of suck but it's something to work off of.
Shown here, from left to right:
Mine Safety Appliances manufactured Burrell Kops-Type, itself a copy of the US Army Chemical Warfare Service's Kops-Tissot-Munro mask, rebranded for sale by Pulmosan. 1920's-30's.
Pulmosan designed and manufactured 1600-J "Fumegard", 1910's-20's
Acushnet designed, Pulmosan manufactured 1600-J, 1930's-40's
Acushnet designed, Pulmosan manufactured 1600-J, 1930's-40's
Acushnet designed, Pulmosan manufactured 1600-J, 1940's-50's
Pulmosan designed, manufactured and patented "Fear-Not", 1930's. These are probably Pulmosan's strangest and hopefully will get their own post later.

Adams Golf’s Idea–Direct to Customer
By ED TRAVIS
The selling of golf clubs and balls is a predictable process, at least for the major manufacturers. Though each spends millions for endorsement by professional tour stars marketing plans usually place emphasis on where the company feels they have an advantage—for example, Callaway Golf’s Paradym drivers or Acushnet Company’s Titleist golf balls.
A key for the big manufacturers to pushing club and ball sales is establishing relationships with the so-called green grass shops found at every golf course and run by a PGA Professionals plus off-course vendors especially big box multiple location retailers while promoting online sales through their own websites and sites run by independents.
Adams Golf, which had all but disappeared after TaylorMade’s purchase in 2012 for $70 million, is taking a different route to re-establish itself with golfers. They have introduced a club family under the Idea brand name which is being sold DTC only from its website…no green-grass, no big box, no brick and mortar.
Of course, smaller, niche-focused makers sell online but often offer only a limited selection, perhaps just putters or balls. None of the major brands have opted to enter the market with a separate brand and then sell only DTC. For example, Callaway has the Big Bertha family and Tour Edge Golf the Hot Launch line, but neither is sold solely over the Internet.
To add to the attractiveness Adams/TaylorMade has decided to price the Idea clubs at the lower end of the current price spectrum with shaft selection limited to a single stock model though options of steel or graphite are offered in the irons. An Adams Idea driver, a fairway wood, two hybrids and seven irons may be purchased for just about $1500 while the latest from parent TaylorMade, a Stealth 2 driver, one fairway wood and two hybrids lists cost approximately the same amount and that doesn’t include the Stealth irons which could be another $1000. Adams ships at no cost for orders over $99.
An interesting business plan, TaylorMade creating in-house competition. Not unheard of in retail but always to be approached with a complete understanding of how the main, money-making brand will be affected when faced with a lower priced rival offering presumably the same quality though it could be argued performance may be significantly different. The company certainly believes that for a generation of consumers familiar with online purchasing, golf clubs on the web without a potentially intimidating store visit is worth the investment.
Adams Golf was started by Barney Adams in 1991 and his Tight Lies hybrid design changed hybrids forever with its innovative Tri-Sole that helped average players get the ball out of most any lie, long grass or even sand.
The Idea line can boast some of the latest design features and though they may not be as sophisticated as the TaylorMade Stealth still are attractive for use by new golfers and those returning to the game. For example, the draw-bias Idea driver has a carbon fiber crown, an adjustable hosel and sole slot while the cavity back irons are a hollow body construction with a variable thickness face.
In other words, many of the same talking points as any of the major makers competing clubs. The question is can TaylorMade revive Adams Golf with this one-of approach or will Adams slip back into obscurity.

#unhallowedarts - Raising Monsters: Melville's Moby Dick
“Ye Gods! What a commentator is this Ann Alexander whale. What he has to say is short & pithy & very much to the point. I wonder if my evil art has raised this monster."
Thusly cried Herman Melville in London, back in 1851, just a few weeks before the publication of the cetacean novel that hardly anyone felt compelled to read for the next 70 years. A huge sperm whale had attacked and sunk the good ship “Ann Alexander” out of New Bedford some 2,000 miles east of the coast of Peru. It was one of the rare but not unheard of incidents when a bull sperm whale had attacked a ship three times his own size. And while the monster was slain in January 1852 by the crew of another New Bedford whaler, the “Rebecca Sims”, off the Galapagos Islands, another whale of a tale was still told along the Eastern Seaboard: the story of the “Essex”, sunk by a sperm whale out in the open Pacific Ocean in 1820 along with the spine-crawling ordeal of her crew’s survival.
The story became one of the major inspirations for Melville, along with the account of “Mocha Dick”, a white bull sperm whale with his head covered in barnacles, his peculiar method of spouting and his ability to come out of the water completely when he breached in anger, recorded in the “Knickerbocker” magazine in 1839. And there was Melville’s own experience, gathered aboard the whaler “Acushnet” of Fairhaven, Mass., and the Australian whaleship “Lucy Ann”, a time 23 years old Melville found so unbearable that he felt compelled to jump ship twice. But even though “Moby Dick” comes in the guise of a fable about the harsh days of whaling, the gory business is but a background, almost a sideshow of America’s greatest novel.
Melville’s audience expected something along the lines of “Typee” or “Omoo”, both best-selling novels inspired by the author’s adventures in the South Pacific. However, “Moby Dick” came as 200,000 word leviathan full of allusions and elaborations on Homer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron, the Scriptures, marine mammals, quotes from completely obscure sources and, of course, the sea. Unfortunately, the majority of the American readers’ tastes had turned westward to the Great Plains and California after gold had been found at Sutter’s Mill in 1848, causing a period of migration in the Northern Hemisphere.
Yarn of Nantucket sleigh rides, whales and sailors were no longer that interesting, but the attempt to capture the totality of human existence and cram it aboard a whaler, anticipating the great Russian novels of the late 19th century and the classical modernists, Joyce, Dos Passos and Döblin, was simply too much to stomach. It took the turmoil of the 20th century to ripe readers for “Moby Dick” and its baroque tour-de-force through the summary of literary experience of almost 3,000 years. In 1902, almost like a symbol for the change of the audience and the appreciation of the novel, a white sperm whale was killed off the Azores, a 90’ long scarred old bull, veteran of uncounted fights, allegedly a hundred years old. The modern whalemen brought him down with a modern harpoon tipped with an explosive device.
All illustrations above by Rockwell Kent (1882 -1971) for the 1930 edition of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick"

Unveiling the Champions: A Deep Dive into Golf Club Market Share (2024)
The golf club market swings with power and precision, shaped by iconic brands and a constant pursuit of innovation. But who are the major players dominating the fairways? Let's delve into the fascinating world of golf club market share by brand and region, using 2024 estimates to paint a clear picture.
The Titans Tee Off: Global Market Share Leaders
The "Big Three" continue to hold a dominant position in the global market:
Callaway Golf: Estimated to hold around 25% of the global market share, Callaway remains a leader in innovation and caters to a wide range of golfers.
TaylorMade Golf: Hot on Callaway's heels with roughly 22% of the market, TaylorMade is known for pushing club design boundaries and offering tour-level performance.
Titleist (Acushnet Holdings Corp.): This premium brand occupies an estimated 18% of the market share. Titleist focuses on high-performance equipment and boasts a loyal following among serious golfers.
These established giants have built their empires on:

Extensive Product Lines: From drivers to wedges and putters, they offer a broad spectrum of options for all skill levels and budgets.
Tour Player Endorsements: Sponsoring professional golfers showcases their equipment's capabilities and influences consumer choices.
Regional Variations: A Look Beyond the Majors
While the "Big Three" dominate globally, regional preferences play a significant role:
North America: The traditional powerhouses (Callaway, TaylorMade, Titleist) reign supreme, but niche brands like Cobra Golf and PING enjoy strong followings.
Europe: European brands like Srixon (Japan, owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries) and Mizuno (Japan) have a larger market share compared to other regions.
Asia Pacific: The market is witnessing significant growth, with Japanese brands like Srixon and Yonex gaining traction alongside established global names.
These regional variations can be attributed to factors like:
Brand Legacy: Local brands with strong historical roots may have a loyal following within their respective regions.
Cultural Preferences: Playing styles and preferences can differ across regions, influencing brand choices.
Distribution Networks: Strong regional distribution networks can give certain brands a competitive edge in specific markets.
Emerging Contenders and Market Shifts
The golf club market isn't static. Here are some key trends shaping the future landscape:
Direct-to-Consumer Growth: Online retailers and brand-owned websites are offering convenience and competitive prices, challenging traditional brick-and-mortar stores.
Focus on Fitting: Custom fitting is becoming increasingly important as golfers seek clubs perfectly matched to their swing mechanics.
Technological Advancements: New materials, innovative designs, and data-driven club development are pushing the boundaries of performance.
Niche Market Focus: Brands catering to specific demographics, like women's clubs or game-improvement options, are attracting loyal customers.
Finding Your Perfect Match: Beyond Market Share
While golf club market share provides valuable insights, the best brand for you depends on your individual needs. Here are some tips for choosing the right clubs:
Consider Your Skill Level: Beginner, intermediate, or advanced golfers will have different equipment requirements.
Get Fitted: A proper fitting by a qualified professional can significantly improve your game and club performance.
Research and Compare: Explore different brands and models within your budget to find the ideal fit for your swing and preferences.
The golf club market offers a diverse and ever-evolving landscape. So, take aim at the green, armed with knowledge and a swing that matches your chosen brand. Remember, the perfect clubs are the ones that help you unlock your golfing potential!

Full Speed into the Past
By ED TRAVIS
After taking a few days to think about the implications of a proposed rules change announced Tuesday March 14 by golf’s governing bodies, the USGA and R & A, the conclusion is clear. By decreasing the distance standard for golf balls played by so-called elite golfers, in effect rolling back the ball to the performance characteristics of twenty years ago, it is a solution in search of a problem.
It’s almost certain in three years when the rule would go into effect fans of elite golf—college and professional—can look forward to seeing the big guys not hit it so big which is a negative for sure but the bigger problem more likely will be the reaction of ball makers such as Acushnet and Callaway.
In situations like this in the past—remember the long putter or square grooves–it says more about the governing bodies desire to control our game decades in the future rather than helping those with emotional and financial stakes in the game capitalize on the current growth trend. Why can’t we just make golf more attractive to play and watch rather than adding more restrictions?
It seems whenever the USGA is involved, their focus on the tradition and integrity of the game (whatever that’s supposed to mean), fans come out in second or third place. Referring to further restricting ball performance golf instructor Hank Haney said it several years ago, “People don’t go to a ball game to watch them hit bunt singles.” Fans don’t go to PGA Tour events to marvel at clever chip shots, holed three-footers or perfect 150-yard nine-irons. They go to watch the big guys smash the ball distances we can only dream about.
Otherwise, you might as well go bowling.
The governing bodies continue to be focused on what happened in the past not where the game is today and if there is one thing sure in this world it is you can never go back.
Certainly, at the elite professional level golf is entertainment and changing equipment to make golf less entertaining means fans are the losers.
In case you think the proposed rules change has a chance of not being adopted remember former USGA CEO Mike Davis swore the last think he would do is roll back the ball. The pandemic may have slowed down the process, but current CEO Michael Whan will ensure it happens.
They say the new distance standard in effect January 1, 2026, will only apply to the few thousand elite players in the world or using the word nobody says out loud, bifurcation. However, there is no assurance that won’t change and indeed since the U.S. Open and the British Open will enact the restricted ball specifications should “regular players” qualify they would have to comply certainly in the qualifying rounds too.
As far as the other major championships are concerned, the Masters probably will want to make use of a reduced distance ball—estimated at 14-15 yards less—but the PGA of America who runs the PGA Championship has not said what they will do.
If anyone knows that professional golf must be entertaining it is the PGA Tour and maybe they will not agree to use a reduced distance ball. They do know they must sell themselves to fans and comments by many current Tour members are against implementation. Further should the Tour opt out, that would create the interesting situation of week to week play with the “long ball” and two weeks annually, the U.S. and British Opens, having to play the “short ball.”
That makes no sense whatsoever. The PGA Tour is also in a competitive situation with LIV Golf and there is zero chance LIV will play the short ball. Additionally, the USGA says elite female players will not have to play the short ball, so the LPGA Tour doesn’t have a decision to make.
But what about the golf ball manufacturers you ask? An excellent question and according to a statement from Acushnet Company, the largest ball manufacturer, “Under the proposed guidelines, events that adopt this MLR [Model Local Rule] would require players to use a substantially shorter golf ball, similar in distance to what was available in the 1990’s.”
Do you remember the Titleist Professional? A fine ball, at the time everyone played it, but it was instantly out of date with the introduction of the solid core urethane cover Titleist Pro V1 in 2000. Ball makers marketing now is built around the average player being able to tee up the same ball as the PGA Tour stars. This aspirational quality of golf is integral to the charm, resiliency and long life of the game.
Singling out the golf ball is not a sound analysis of the situation when swing speed on the Tour continues to increase (2.23 mph in the past 15 years) but it would seem logical there is at some time an upper limit on the increasing athleticism of Tour players. That would limit the swing speed increases and therefore distance off the tee and with other clubs.
We haven’t heard the last from the ball makers and lawsuits are a possibility creating another mess caused by the USGA’s myopic view of modern golf.
