The MSRP of $15.90 (down from $16.50) is due to an improvement in the production cycle.

 “Reports indicate that the average golfer leaves about 12 ball marks during a typical round of golf,” said Fokke.  “That can result in more than 700,000 ball marks per year on an average golf course. Add to that the players who do not repair their ball marks and the high percentage of improper repair from conventional two prong divot tools, and the potential maintenance savings with the Fusion products could be as much as ten percent.”
