piss off dude. these companies have the means to make LH clubs but they rather have their RH inventory gather dust. not wanting to tap into that market is lazy, and when they do make LH clubs they are done terribly and offer less options.

Economics sucks but is what it is.

This is random, but my little girl is a lefty and I will for sure be forcing her to learn right-handed golf, assuming she wants to play in the first place.

Please don't do this.

Seems to be better options these days but yeah it still sucks for certain items mainly limited edition items but then again it's limited edition and making LH versions probably are not worth it. 

 

You want blades there are lots of lefty blades, more forged irons, more putter options especially with all the putter makers, wedges yeah we kinda get shafted on grinds and options but can still get a good setup going.

 

Honestly as a lefty it's best to be brand agnostic to get the best setup possible.

I keep hassling companies to make lefty gear, then buy it so I'm not just talking smack. I am seriously looking forward to my BGD's (any freaking day now) and also the Haywood muscle backs. Both look incredible and the price is amazing.

I can understand companies like Ben Hogan and whatever not having a massive stock of LH clubs, but why not have the ability to make them and take special orders? If Ben Hogan would have had the new PTx Pro irons available for a LH special order, they would have had my money a long time ago.

 

It is laziness on their part, a lazy excuse to not make LH golf clubs. Again, one thing to not want sitting inventory, but why the hell can't they allow special orders? At least make the molds and have the ability to make LH clubs. Again with Ben Hogan, their new wegde should have the Texas grind for lefties. Not having it available makes me never want to do business with them in the future because they keep putting lefties on the back burner.

They still have to buy the tooling etc to make them.  It’s a huge investment to produce.  It’s not as if a Lh club is just flipped over. It’s literally a new club as far as production standpoints  go. 
 

it’s just business. You can’t decide to not do business with them. They’ve already decided not to do business with you.  Right ? 
 

edit.  That business they’ve turned down would be bad business.

It still comes down to economics.  It's not profitable to make everything in LH.  It has nothing to do with being lazy.

Ping can afford to do it because their markup affords them to. 🤣

Ping can do it because they are owned by themselves.  They don't have to answer to shareholders.  I think the only ones that didn't go IPO.

Cobra, Callaway and Ping take really good care of us lefties.  When I started playing in 1986 there was not much available.

Well, she will learn on RH equipment, and if she takes it seriously and WANTS to change to LH, only then will she be golfing lefty. This is all under the presumption she wants to golf. Teaching her something RH’d, if she elects to learn, is far better than forcing the game on them entirely. The latter is something far too many fathers are guilty of IMO. These Earl Woods’ of the world are a dime-a-dozen, and across all professions/fields...
