These machines right here are like itty-bitty tiny little versions of that. This is actually a five-axis CNC. These little guys enabled us to go from when you first met Bill to actually being able to produce these somewhat consistently. So, I mean, you remember you were there in the early days, right? When you get putters and they know how they all kind of felt a little different, you know, even though they were supposed to basically be the same, and this one's heavy and this one's light, whatever, because where we located the hole, if you miss it by a 10,000th of an inch, the putter's going to be 20 or 30 grams lighter or heavier depending upon what we need in order to get a balance. and we found these things that enabled us to drill holes precise enough to actually start making them consistently and fast. So that was a very, very big deal for us.
