They have to pay for the golf sponsorships. Perceived value through marketing. They are nice, but not worth the price. I almost wish all the reviewers just stop reviewing this brand.
There’s zero chance I would ever pay $400+ for a wedge. Although these wedges are $229 stock. That’s simply insanity. Maltby makes a really nice wedge and it’s $60. Takomo Skyforgers are great wedges and they are $90. I mean, people can buy what they want with their own money, but overall, golf equipment pricing is getting stupid. In my area, golf is getting more difficult to even play. Less courses per capita (due to the property owners selling the property to build homes). So competition is decreasing, which raises prices and getting a worse product. We have a public course over here that that wants $50 a round and when I lived in another area, nobody would ever pay that much for a course like that. It’s simply not a good course, condition-wise. I don’t see a good future for golf. You’re going to end up having membership courses and goat trails.
Is the price of new wedges going up across the industry? PXG Sugar Daddys are 300+ and now Callaway, too? More opportunity for the direct to consumer brands. Cheers.
IMO the Jaws wedges were the best of the main brands … but I had some Mizuno JPK wedges which cost £60 and were amazing. I doubt anyone will notice the difference the platinum wedges make, but being able to try wedges out in a proper short game area is key to working out which feel best for you.
I am thinking when they called them "blue", it's more like when a gun barrel is "blued"….at least that's what it looked like. Cool concept and color….kinda pricey, but each to their own if they wanna spend that much on a wedge. Keep up the great content!

I didn't know it was possible to laugh for so long. This video is a real medicine for the soul🔥
When you watch the video and realize it's the best thing that happened to you all day😛
I turned this video on at a party and now all my friends want to repeat what they saw. Laughter and fun guaranteed💋

Hey James. In this video I believe that you may have named the new bunker … 'The Cavern'.

These wedges are nice…. But WAY too pricey for me..
Opus Platinum is retailing for £199 at most online outlets, standard opus £159 (similar to the SM10 and MG4's)
Telling me new wedges have good spin is like saying new tires have good traction.
I don’t care how much ‘tech’ these have, I would never pay over £200 for an iron club. Do Callaway take us for idiots?
