I found this company tonight in Minnesota making hand-crafted alignment sticks called Bubbawhips. These alignment sticks are made from Hickory and are stained, finished, and painted by hand. The standard set of two sticks are $69.00. They offer a limited edition set of "Umbrella" sticks painted in the Arnold Palmer colors for $99.00. Would you purchase these? If so, would you use them? https://Www.bubbawhips.com
 
I haven’t purchased them yet. I’m waiting for the Pinehurst model. I like that color best.
 
No chance that I would pay that much for alignment sticks. That's more than double the cost of a standard set .

Those are really nice, but for the cost of a round
Of golf I’d rather get the sticks for a couple bucks at home depot or lowes
 
You can buy driveway markers at Home Depot for $1 each.
 
Nope, I would not buy them. Way over priced for me and they can break a bit too easily compared to their competitors.
 
No way I would pay that much for something so simple. But if I did break down and buy them, I would damn sure use them and try to get my money's worth out of them.
 
......nope
 
Those look more like the sticks used in Croquet. :act-up:

To answer the question, No ... I just buy the orange sticks they sell at Home Depot for half the cost
 
I figure there's about $20.00 in each set, then you have the labor cost. I just can't pay $70 for 2 sticks!
 
here is a set of 100 sticks for $70

With wood though, one bad swing and "SNAP!" That's what I would be worried about.

Good point. I am not one to buy stuff just to look at it and let it gather dust so I would just pass on them.
 
Absolutely not, hence my traffic sticks from home Depot for $1.50 or whatever

Nope. As much as I like to blow money away on golf products, this isn’t one of them.
 
I overpaid for my alignment sticks at 3 for $10.
 
If someone wanted something cool to have in their bag I don't see why not. People pay some crazy money for custom headcovers and they're probably less important in the grand scheme of things than alignment sticks. I personally wouldn't spend the money on them as I don't bring out my sticks unless I am going to the range to practice. If I am at the range warming up for a round, I will just thrown an iron down to get my feet aligned to my target.

For what you get and what goes into them, they are probably priced right. For me, I will just stick to the driveway markers from Home Depot.
 
They do look amazing, but for that price and the fact that I rare use the sticks I already have, I would pass on them.

Didn't see anything about doing custom paint jobs for orders, but if they ever did that, I could see it being a cool touch if private clubs some of these to their range areas, or having it be a gift for a tournament or charity event.
 
That's a big fat no. I'm still using the collapsible sticks that came were packaged with some NXT Tours I bought a few years back.
 
I wouldn’t pay that much for them. If I really wanted custom I’d probably try painting my own first.
 
I need to get into the stick painting business.
