As the season starts to head toward the fall, manufacturers are starting to release their new lines of products. Most recently, the Titleist T Series Irons, the Taylormade p790 revamp, and the Callaway Epic Forged. All of which have either premium materials or high tech "upgrades". After seeing the prices for most of these clubs, it really got me thinking about how much prices have risen over the last 10 years for Golf Equipment.
I understand the costs of R&D, Materials, and Marketing have all increased. But, are we at the point where the cost of these clubs outweigh the benefits? And for discussion purposes Im comparing a $1,000 set of Irons to $2,000+ recent releases.
Callaway Epic Forged - $2,399
Taylormade t790 Ti - $2,799
What do you say THP? Are you buying into the technology? Are you buying the equipment because the technology and materials are superior to your current equipment? Is that resulting in lower scores? Or even just more enjoyment of the game? Do you think prices have gotten out of control?
