I'll 2nd the "whoa"!
Disappointing to hear. Any more details Schnee? I hate to hear someone's trying to squeeze Bill out. Hoping he was savvy enough to put together an air-tight patent that he can take with him as needed. I can see how some putter manufacturers would love to get there hands on this technology.

It appears as though Bill, his father and another investor, have equal equity in Directed Force. Bill has been outvoted on a number of items including introducing new putter models, new Presse Grip models, etc. Most recently, his two partners (including his father) have forced him out of daily operations by limiting his compensation to 30 hours per month at a ridiculously low rate (i believe It was around $10-15 per hour.)
They've taken to a few social media outlets, leaving Bill out as founder and inventor, and insinuating that he quit of his own choosing.
Wow; disturbing and unfortunate. It's a great product, easily the best putter I've ever owned; I'm not sure what the upside is of getting rid of the guy that developed that.
