Artisan Golf Wedges- Mike Taylor and the old "Oven" crew that made Tiger's clubs


easyyy

Recommended Posts

Ahhh... Mike Taylor and some of the OG Oven crew from the old Nike Oven got the band back together again. Making wedges and putters to start. Instagram link... https://www.instagra.../artisangolftx/

 

I heard this and called Mike to see what was going on. Said they are building clubs again under a new name Artisan Golf. Made in Texas in the old Nike Oven facility. Same machines, facility and partial crew. David Franklin retired but Mike Taylor and a few others are back together.

 

I asked him to make me a set of gamers. I figured if he can make Tiger Woods wedges I can make them for this hack. 😉 I asked him under one condition... that I pay full price for them. Unfortunately he didnt tell me how much they are. Errrr. Told me he would invoice only after I received them and approved of the work.

 

Mike Taylor is honestly one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He always has been one of the greats.

 

They came yesterday. I was able to pick out everything. Grind, finish, stampings and paintfill colors. I went with Raw finish in a higher bounce (12 and 😎 56* and 52*. Asked for some heel relief to allow me to open up the 56* as well.

They do look nice, like the finish a lot. Definitely anti-glare. Raw is always a nice option, all my Vokey wedges are raw.

I don't mean this as a personal dig at Nike or any diehard Nike fans, but maybe if Nike would have released wedges like these maybe they'd still be in the golf club business.

Would you be able to take a few quick comparison shots against a familiar brand name wedge? Would be interesting for scale, shaping etc.. Thank you!!!!

 

Congrats, they look really beautiful!

I said this in the original post... He told me he would only invoice me after I approved of the work. Ouch... I have no idea but knowing Mike T it will be fair.

 

Your going to be cringing walking into that first bunker shot!

 

That is for sure. But they will wear nicely.

Very cool RA. Are the head shapes like the old Nike's or do these look completely different? Interested to hear your thoughts.

My God these look amazing. This makes you wonder who the hell was making the decisions on what a wedge should look like when these guys were at Nike.

 

Take my money Mike.

I teach at the range that shares property with artisan and Mike T was my first boss out of college years ago. With that I have a good relationship with them and have been down there quite a bit. In fact, I saw these wedges earlier this week. Send the boys a message and you will be very excited about the price. Mike told me a price this week and it was very reasonable. The putters and wedges are the best I have seen or felt and I am in staff with another OEM.
