Mercedes AMG Formula One line of equipment

2012 PGA Merchandise Show...
Mercedes AMG debuts a brand new line for golf. Royal Collection a long time player in the golf business in Asia has developed a deal to help build out equipment for Mercedes AMG. GolfWRX on first blush thought they did a fine job in design. Very sexy designs and clean modern looks.

Golf Digest wrote:
Mercedes AMG and high performance have been synonymous in the automobile world and now it will see if it can replicate the association in golf equipment.

WSH, Inc. will introduced a Mercedes AMG Formula One line of equipment at the PGA Merchandise Show here this week.

"We were granted a global sports licence license from Mercedes AMG, for doing a line of clubs, apparel and accessories under their prestigious logo," said WSH, Inc. CEO Michael Lee, the founder of Nickent Golf. "Under Mercedes, our approach is that anything associated with Formula One isn't going to be cheap. Our initial convesation with Mercedes Stuttgart is that we want to create a line that the Mercedes owner can enjoy. It doesn't necessarily have to be a $2,000 driver. But we're launching it right at $399. That's the ceiling of drivers these days."

Three sets of irons will be introduced as well, along with wedges and putters.

Its driver and fairway wood technology, developed in concert with Mercedes' aerodynamicists, feature Venturi Channels, which have been used in Formula One cars "to manipulate airflow whereby a funnel is created as air flows through the vehicle, and is constricted, and as it flows out…a jet effect is created," according to a company news release.

Good question.....the numbers on the clubs look absolutely hideous. For such a stylish F1/car manufacturer - epic fail with their golf equipment.

Doubt they make them themselves.... wonder who does??

I remember when Porsche Design came out with some hideously overpriced clubs, they were made by TM.

:WTF: Long time Mercedes guy here, and those are awful. Somewhere, Hans Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher are shaking their heads.

This is like someone at Ping saying "yes, we REALLY ought to get into the silverware business, shouldn't we? Shouldn't we, boss??"

:WTF:

I'm not sure what others completely think, but the Forged CB address pic looks REALLY good, + it looks as CTapers are installed. If royal collection did make the line, then the quality will be first rate, even if AMG's graphics team was partying too much.

God Bless

P.S. whoever has hit a forged RC product will know how good the feel is....

Very well done, the players forgings look spectacular. I commend the design team for offering unique and fresh appeal to a congested and over badged club market. I would game those irons and putters in a second, I'm pretty sure the price point will be astronomical however...BB

Irons: 19' Cobra CB's
Drivers: Titleist TS3 & Cobra F9
Fairway: Titleist 917F2
Hybrid: A-Grind
2 iron: Ping Rapture
Wedges: Ping Gorge 2.0 Stealth's
Putter: Evnroll 9.1
Balls: ProV1

This is the second time Michael Lee has tried to bring a car brand into golf design. He launched Williams Golf a couple years ago at the PGA Show to be a "High End" brand and I am not sure whatever happened with it. He did start Nickent and launch it into a solid brand, but at the same time there were a lot of tour pros on the PGA and Nationwide Tour who were left being owed money from Nickent for endorsements that were never paid to them...
