Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show. Hosted by Dan Edwards, each Friday he gives you a deep look into the world of golf and equipment in a way unlike any other podcast has done before. Today Staff Casey Shultz, Product Manager at Cleveland/Srixon/XXIO, joins the show to talk about golf equipment including wedges and more.
It wouldn’t be Off Course without some tangents, but Dan and Casey discuss everything from why wedges can have forgiveness to finding the right balance between hiding and presenting technology in golf clubs. This show has a lot going on and is one you will not want to miss.
Episode 109 is here and Dan and Casey discuss the following topics.
Deep Dive on Cleveland CBX ZipCore
Sole Designs and the Advantage of V Sole
Visual Technology in Golf Clubs
And so much more

I bet people look at his bag the way you looked at mine hahahaha
This is the video that @Canadan eluded to.
We’ve got a video on THP YouTube where I compare CBx to zip core and it’s kind of ridiculous. Worth the watch.
It’s always fun to hear how industry folks build out their bag, especially when they have so many great options to pick from.
The number of extra clubs they have laying around to tinker around with has to be crazy too

So. Good.
You also touched on the pricing of their golf balls and them being competitive trying to gain more customers. Maybe not specific to them, but I’d be curious to know what 3 piece and 4 piece within the same family cost the same. Is it material differences? I’d assume the extra layer in the 4 would cost more and position them differently. Maybe just taking less margin on the 4 or more on the 3.
Cost of layers do not significantly change the cost of product in the premium ball segment. More layers do not mean better either, which is often misunderstood (you didn’t say that)
Interesting, thanks. I have zero knowledge of the manufacturing process so that’s cool to know. Should look it up. Guess it makes sense though with the volume of golf balls that are probably pumped through.
