Rapping superhero sells Top-Flite golf balls This Top-Flite video, nearing a million views on YouTube, was reportedly the brainchild of Top-Flite’s national brand manager, Nate Randle. He apparently showed it to a Callaway Golf sales meeting in September and got a standing ovation from all the rap fans in attendance. After the jump, ESPN’s Kenny Mayne interviews the rapper. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Isn't this an ape of New England Gangsters?
That's soft.

That golf video's views are gamed. There's no way they have a million views. They only have 203 comments and 0 inbound links. Um, no way.

I think they have turned the brand into a gimmick.
Too bad. Top Flite used to be the high end of the low end (great and affordable).
They have isolated the product to a market sliver. Serious golfers reject this sh*t.
For the present, Top Flite a joke.

People - get a clue!!! This was used for entertainment at a sales meeting for fun - to get the sales reps fired up. Don't take things so seriously. Shit - it's golf, not surgery.
