That's crazy expensive. I'm wondering if the reason for such high pricing a club is that American foundries are more expensive than their Asian counterparts?

They look very nice and I hope they find a niche within the golf industry. Nice to see American made

[/quote] That's basically the exact same price for Scratch Tour Dept. I'm curious to see if you will get some of the same types of options like you do with Scratch or if it's going to be a certain design and limited custom options.

Look like a model of the old MacGregor custom catalog. Can't imagine who is doing the forging since the last legitimate forger was Hoffman that went belly up decades ago with among the last model produced the Titleist 681/T... Their head weight tolerances were pretty bad at the end and their chrome plating was horrible. If they are truly forged in the U.S. I can't imagine what finish they will have as EPA has prevented the existence of a decent chrome plate process in the U.S. The regulations make it impossible to do cost wise.. Wonder what they will do for accurate shafts as dynamic gold didn't exist in those days only dynamic that had weights all over the place..

There is very small number of decent plating outfits in the US but the do exist...the problem is its almost impossible to get through the red tape to start a new business but the older ones are kind of under the "grandfathered" umbrella, same goes for a true salt nitride,,,some people still do but you will find no one starting new outfits.

If the need to have them forged in the Us results is poor quality they can forget it.Why not have Endo do them in Japan/Thailand and have the highest possible quaility

I have heard that the Forging Facility in Thailand is world class.

From raw billet to final forged head and or complete clubs

The idea is to have a club fully built in the USA to appeal to nationalism and the idea that it's higher quality.

super interesting. it seems expensive on the face of it, but i could see myself maybe spending the money one day. i mean nice blades are already $1k, and we throw money at useless "junk" in the name of experimentation all the time. why not just get something truly unique and quit hoarding? quality...not quantity.

i don't get why there's so many problems with forging and plating clubs in the US? there's plenty of automotive companies producing forged parts and chrome plated parts here in the US. why are golf clubs any different?

USA forgings are world class as well. Just cheaper to be done elsewhere I believe is the reason. I could be wayyyyy off though.

Currently there are no US forgings (golf heads)?

To my knowledge no and hasn't been for a while.

I think the biggest reason, per another thread, is the cost associated with doing this in the states with all the EPA standards and so on.

I will say though that I find it funny that people complain about how crappy the stuff seems to be coming out of China then turn around and claim the same about forgings stateside. It doesn't have to come from Japan to be a good forging. The biggest difference would be QC.

I'm hoping that we see more forgings in the states though I doubt I would like the price tag.

What a stupid web name. p53golf.com isn't available? This guy is supposed to be some business genius?

This company is doomed. The boutique forged blade market it already saturated. Almost zero demand, and no shortage of competition.
