Innovation Drives Golf Club Makers To Offer Changes
There are many brands of golf clubs on the market today and each one has their own ideas of how their design in clubs can make even average golfers perform better on the course. The materials used as well as how they are put together are practically the same among all golf club makers, but subtle differences in design and structure can make one stand out among all of the others.
Many of the current models began in someone's garage where a golfer wanted a club that matched their style of swing. They figured it would be better to change the club than work on changing their body style and swing to match the current crop of products from existing golf club makers. Typically, when someone plans to make their own club they start with a putter that helps them begin sinking putts more regularly and then moves on from there.
Once a club has been produced and they can show consistent, repeatable success when using it, they often offer to let their friends and golf partners try it out and if they can achieve the same results, they know they have a winner. After field testing their club they can take it to one of the golf club makers and get their opinion, often finding the market closed except in the rare circumstance that the club is really productive.
Prices Of Clubs Usually Follow Demand
With many golf club makers being established as making products used by professional, suddenly the demand for their clubs skyrockets along with the price they can demand in the market. When a driver or a putter is seen on television, used by the tournament winner, it seems that every differ or weekend warrior believe that if they use the same club from the same maker, suddenly they will be playing as well as the professional.
Once golf club makers have established their line of clubs to the professional market they will often develop similar clubs for the masses and production runs are scheduled to meet anticipated demand. However, if the golfer using product from one of the golf club makers suddenly falls out of favor with the fans, or another golfer rises to the top of the field, the product may also plunge to the bottom of the winner's list along with them.
For amateurs, using clubs from golf club makers that the pros use may make them feel better and look better on the course. However, unless they work as hard on their game as the professionals works, chances are they will not share the same level of success.
