Never bought the newest clubs even the one I got fitted were 2 years old and I still love them!

@Pud56 5 ай бұрын

It enters into buyers minds because of residual value, which drops once the new clubs come out.

Slightly panicked when I saw this title as I literally bought Wilson CB irons 2 days ago. Had Mizuno hot metals since 2009 when I was a 22 handicap. Now at 9 and went for a fitting. Liked the Mizuno pro 243's and Titleist T150's but the Wilson's were fantastic. So happy

Wilson is such an underrated brand. Which is great for tight asses like me, I get great clubs for less than half the price, because they're always on clearance! I picked up a brand new D9 3 wood and 3 hybrid last month for AUD $180 and $130 respectively. That's about 160 quid, or USD $200, for two brand new woods. Callaway Mavrik and Rogue, or TaylorMade Sim and Stealth woods are more than double, sometimes closer to triple the price. But I don't hit them any further, or straighter.

Were the cbs less forgiving than t150?

@@MrKnockout66 for me both the cb's and t150's felt great to hit. It wasn't until I looked at the groupings on trackman that I realised the cb's shots were closer together. The t150 grouping was very good but my shots with the cb's were amazing

Back in July I was fit to a Qi10, however it was already on my mind that it would be replaced before next season. So I waited and got a GT, knowing it was on a 2 year cycle. I don't change driver often 3 or 4 years. In 3 years time my GT with only be one generation old and still worth some money.

Many club reviewers, such as yourselves, strongly advocate custom fitting when buying golf clubs, to go through the customs fit process you have to consider new golf clubs. Buying used clubs potentially means buying someone else’s fitting.

@stevethomas4310 4 ай бұрын

Wait for the new relese anbuy the one being replaced at a discount. If you time it right you can still get fitted. Win win.

IDK I picked up a set of Cobra Aerojet irons new for $360 and the 3 wood for $120. If you’re looking for deals on previous releases it’s a great time. I would also like to see Cobra to the Ping route on releasing new models - so think trying to compete with TaylorMade and Callaway should be their goal.

@sevesellors2831 5 ай бұрын

Best value and great clubs Wilson, best at keeping their value Ping. Prices though are getting silly and they do depreciate greatly especially the premium brands.

@ryanmarshall1952 4 ай бұрын

I do agree with you all guys. Great question. But I find it an advantage. Every 18 months I change my clubs, but 18 months from the time I bought them. So driver and fairway, irons, putter, wedges. I buy them at different points over that 18 months. I play all year round, and this is my passion and drive to improve by stay up to date. If that makes sense!?

Spend your money on what you need(budget dependent) and lessons. Just bought a new QI10 cause I needed one, not because I thought it will help me get another 3 yards

@ob9312 4 ай бұрын

Couldn't agree more about spending on the putter. I was 25hc using a really shoddy 2nd hand putter. Got myself a white hot brand new for my 30th birthday and since then I've gone to a 19hc. I feel so much more confident putting now

I’ve just ordered a set of callaway apex cb irons to replace my PXG 0311 P simply where I have dropped my handicap and want clubs I can control more than long distance irons. Currently I hit my 7 iron 190 and would be happy dropping to 170 (the reading I got at the fitting) with a tighter distance dispersion. My driver, woods, wedges and putter will not change for sometime (wedges first possibly due to wear)

Price of new golf clubs is too high. How about doing a calculation of how much they should cost ?

@2bNIKEt1 5 ай бұрын

They’ve effectively cornered themselves with release times being after the new year. Most seasons end before December and I know personally the end of the season is when I’m looking for a change. If I wait for new release, in my life, I’ll probably be getting fit at an incorrect time with regards to where my game is. So how am I to keep myself warm with a limited season for months until the next release.?? They’re better of releasing next years stuff early by shifting their R&D timeline

@ethanrodriguez9961 3 ай бұрын

I'm a newer player just started this season my question is should I look at buying pre owned now? Or wait a month for potentially a black friday type deal, I haven't golfed around this time before so idk how good the sales are if any

@pbode1 3 ай бұрын

If you know what suits you, I would go second hand or ex demo, and get a groove sharpener. If not, get yourself fitted but check internet first for last seasons model. Dont get fitted into the latest model if you are budget conscious. Like the guys say, changes are incremental.

@adrianjackman9422 5 ай бұрын

Get fitted now buy in a few months when the prices drop as the new models come out and the prices drop but options are still available. Also you know what the real dogs are if any when they have been around a year.

Would have been great if you both could have just said that overall/pricewise, this has become one of the WORST times to buy ANY new top brand club. While many retailers are now lowering prices, the major players in the golf industry are dramatically raising theirs, with marginal improvement at best in performance. This is unsustainable! If this continues the DTC and component sellers are going to have a field day gaining market share. Come on, guys, afraid to bite the hand that feeds you??

Prices are ridiculous that's my thing with clubs. I know they have engineers working on tech etc etc. But let's say I hire engineers to create the best lemonade and use "premium" lemons and I would sell it let's says 10$ a glass, I wouldn't sell a single one. Why do people buy overpriced clubs?
