Back in 2019, we got our first look at a new company based in Michigan called MORE Golf with their launch of the Detroit Collection of limited edition putters. They are set to make a splash with another release this spring with MOD-1 irons, wedges and putters that are made in America and 100% Billet-Milled.
That splash from MORE GOLF is in the form of the highest level of customization available in a golf club through the full modular makeup.
“Every so often, a new idea comes around and totally changes the face of an industry,” said MORE GOLF Founder and Designer Bruce Sizemore. “That’s what I believe a fully modular construction can do with golf clubs. We’ve reimagined the future of custom club fitting and what it means to be fully optimized as a golfer.”
Located in Jackson, Michigan, the company has partnered with LOMAR Machine and Tool, which is just a few minutes down the road.
“The MORE GOLF Design Studio is 10 minutes away from LOMAR and that gives us total control over every aspect of the design and manufacturing process. We are driven to be the only 100% American-made 14-club company, and we’re well on our way to that goal,” Sizemore added.
If you have made it this far you are probably curious about availability and cost, right? Currently MORE GOLF is accepting inquiries for what they call a Founding Fitter Program. This group of fitters will have access to this first release as well as a few other perks. Pricing for the MOD-1 irons and wedges starts at $427 for fully assembled irons and wedges per piece. The MOD-1 putters jump up to $447, which is actually less than we expected.
Stay tuned as we will have quite a bit more coming about this line as they start hitting fitting studios.
I went to the website to check them out and immediately came back to scroll through the comments to find the VAS reference.
I’m out.
I mean, it’s not a completely un-earned reference, but they’re nowhere near that ugly. I actually kinda like the way the back of the club looks, but I’m not sure I buy into all the marketing hype and I’m definitely 100% out at that price.
I will say I don’t at all hate the looks of that Detroit putter – but at $2500, they can go straight to hell.
At that price, you’d definitely take a bath on resale or trade-in.
$420 I might pay for a driver. That’s about what I usually spend on a 6-8pc iron set that’s gently used.
If their stuff isn’t better than what I’m using by leaps and bounds, maybe they’re the new Boob Parsons?
I’m not saying neither or either company isn’t putting out a great product. But you can **** me sideways before a pay $400 for a damn wedge.
JMHO.
I also will point out that my decent angle pretty much negates spin so I don’t need it. I can stop an old and worn out 52* oil can inside of a foot of a brand new whatever.
So I don’t need new and at those prices I won’t be buying used.
Seems like an attention grabbing ploy. And an answer searching for a question noone asked.
Not in the wild no but Peter Finch reviewed the wedges yesterday and results were pretty darn good
I suppose it could change the face of the high end designer industry golf club industry. I won’t pretend to know how large that market is. What I do know is that for the price they intend to ask, I would expect clubs that have far more shelf appeal than what I’m seeing here. For the record, I have no problem with modular construction. In fact, it makes a lot of sense in theory. But if modular clubs become mainstream, they’ll do so because they’re machined somewhere in Asia for about 1/4 to 1/2 the prices mentioned here.
Agreed. Or at least a quick-change hosel. It’d be nice to be able to swap out shafts for irons the same way we do for adjustable metals.
