NEWS LA Golf - Struggling
Was talking about this with a guy at the shop yesterday. He brought up an interesting point, once they got into the putter and definitely the ball market, they were now competitors with everyone.
They didn’t compete well in their original category let alone the ball and putter market. They had high profile endorsements out there but problem was some didn’t play them like DJ for example. How can you have a shaft with his name on it and he doesn’t play it
LA Golf is hiring according to their Instagram account
That’s an interesting help wanted ad.
A picture is worth a thousand words..."be hawt, or don't bother applying"
That and doesn’t mention anything about product knowledge or passion for golf or background in golf. Just be good looking for events lol
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Went to Golf Galaxy today. Putted around with a LA Golf Putter and a LAB putter. Putted much better with the LA Golf one.

LA Golf and L.A.B. are two different companies my guy. Unless you mean you bought the DF3 with the LAGP shaft in it?I just bought the DF3 putter. Hope my contribution helps
Oh boy. Color me red. I thought they were the same company

Haha, no worries dude! It all runs together a lot of the time. There’s a solid thread on the DF3 in the flatstick section, it’s so good!Oh boy. Color me red. I thought they were the same company
I’ll go check in over there
That being said, I did like LA Golf’s iron shafts. My fitter had a friend that recently was fired from LA Golf. It seems like they spread themselves too thin trying to increase awareness without a sticky product.

What do you expect when you charge 3-4x more than most others .you can't justify that

Well, I guess that quashes the rumor I heard that an investor was going to prop them up, but was going to drastically curb spending and current business practices!
LA’s descending loft technology putter face is an interesting concept. LA pricing is too rich for my liking. I want to try a Cobra putter that licenses the tech and is 1/2 the price which I’m into.Went to Golf Galaxy today. Putted around with a LA Golf Putter and a LAB putter.

Just heard from someone on tour and someone else confirmed it that LA Golf is taking in a large sum of money from investors to stay afloat and continue. Hearing the numbers is pretty staggering, based on their revenue, but will continue to grab details.
They are going to need some new hires or just be a Club Champion brand right now.

Some would say products.
Some would say marketing.
Some would say tour usage.
Some would say management.

I’d argue the designs aren’t as spectacular as billed. Good, but not as hyped as they try to be.
