OEM's are a big joke. How long before we have a 39 PW?

Woods, hybrids and wedges will be standard set. It's more money for OEM's.  Even the older generation using players clubs and hybrids will have to make the changes or pay premium for Irons set. 

 

Either OEM's are going to be making more money. 

 

This is the trend 

 

5 years 42 PW will be the norm

10 years 38 PW will be the norm

15 years  34 PW will be the norm

20 years 30 PW will be the norm

 

The branding of clubs will shift - irons phased away and done with. 

 

The change is coming, embrace folks 🙂 

You need to get out more, lol.  Seriously though, I don't think most of us are pondering what golf will be like in 20 years.  Just enjoy the now bro.  We may not even be around in 20 years.

Who is your dealer? I gotta get some of that.

In 20 years at age 63 Tom Brady will win his 20th super bowl with a last second pass to Gronks son and say he plans on playing past age 65.

Someone has been partaking. Hope you aren’t feeling it too badly today.

I'm so mad at myself for opening this.

In 20 years, I’ll be spooning applesauce.

i really won’t care what the OEMs will be doing....

I hope I'm still able to spoon anything in 20 years. It's all downhill from here.

So my hoarding tendency will pay off with eBay riches. Good to know.

Oh. A thread about lofts. Wow. Haven't seen one of these in ages. 

[forrester_fire]

As long as the pros and good-to-elite amateurs use iron sets, they'll always be available.

These are the .00005% of the market. They mean nothing to OEM's. its all about the younger gen. This is where the money is. Young people want new tech. They distance, they want strong lofts.  Everyone under the age of 20 uses 5 wedges now. And also many of them use hybrids. Most people under the age of 20 only carry 4 irons max. 6 - 9iron.  With stronger lofts in 10 years they wont need irons. The change is coming. 

 

Pros and elite player will have to pay 50% more for their irons. Great strategy for OEM's.  Squeeze out the golfwrx ho's, join the new movement of Woods & Weges or  pay more for your custom irons.

lol..stop man, just stop. This is almost unequivocally false, anyway who has a bunch of Jr players at their clubs can tell you this. Teens these days are already swinging 110+ in high school, their bags are full of players clubs, they don't need the extra help. The stronger lofts and bag full of hybrids are almost always older players who's speed is declining.

I do wonder what the cutoff number is for strong lofted irons on the PW in the future. Like at some point, it has to stop

It will only stop once Irons are extinct. Why will oems sell irons for $130 per iron when they can sell you hybrids for $260 each? This is the plan folks.  

 

Woods & Wedges baby.

Umm.... and who do you think buys these clubs for junior players. Yep their parents who are used to irons. Once these teens start earning coin they ditch their standard 4 - 9 irons. I have seen the trend. Also, they wont have a choice OEM's dictate the market. This is why I said in 20 years because most teens will then be adults with their own kids buying mini hybrids for little sam.

Are you smoking crack? I’m saying yes. You haven’t seen your 7 iron fly 50 yards in 10 years so. As an under 20 the only people I have played with that have less irons are the older groups. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways solid troll job, if you’re being serious go touch some grass.
