Damn that reminds me I’ve got to get my lie checked and my shaft pured for mine.

OK Here is a "revolutionary" wedge design for your consideration.  Check out THE CUTTER WEDGE™

52 and 58 deg are sold out. Only 56 left

I find the fact that that club actually exists highly dubious.   It's got to be an April fools day joke that they forgot to take down, or an extremely overpriced gag gift for people who'd somehow choose that over having money.

You haven’t heard of CPG?

@ChetlovesMer is building a wishlist on TST. So far he’s got a chipper and a putter on it. And a white belt of course.

I already have a bag full of hammers. That's what people mean when they say "Dumb, as a bag of hammers."

By the way, I really want an Alien Wedge and a Vixa V12 as well.

First time I've seen this one. I like it. I think they may be over-estimating the value of the tee. ... but maybe not? 

This one falls under the category of "Why are you using a club designed for a tour pro?".

The testimonials indicate it helped both a 3 and 7 handicap golfer 😆

Yeah, to your point are there a lot of 3's and 7's out there who hit it less than 250 off the tee? I'm guessing there may be some.

My favorite thing about all of these types of clubs is that they are always "Revolutionary". 

As if nobody thought of making a lighter driver before.

And yet, these guys will laugh all the way to the bank...lol.

See golf falls under the category of 'it's not what you do, but what you believe in'. 'Never give up' is a double edged sword. Thousands of 'positive thinkers' will re-tool with anything they can get their hands on as part of their new year resolution. 😄

I've always thought there was a market for a subtly illegal club. I think if some company produced a driver with 0.9 COR instead of the 0.83 legal limit. As long as it "looked like" a legal club; Perhaps only on very close inspection could you tell it was illegal. I think a lot of guys would buy it. Of course, guys who play tournaments would avoid it. But the average Joe playing on weekends with his buddies, as long as it convincingly looked like a regular driver, I think it would sell. 

I remember playing in a city softball league years ago and guys would forever be trying to sneak in illegal bats. I'm sure those same guys would totally buy an illegal driver. 

Just my 2 cents.

Well FWIW, it does say it is 'USGA approved for amateurs' on the website. Whatever that means.  

But I agree in general - the subtly illegal club market has always been somewhat successful with the club golfer who plays preferred lies in peak season. Your use of the word 'subtly' makes sense - as it is hard to prove anything outright and enough prevailing ignorance amongst non-serious golfers of what make a club illegal.

Anyway, if legality is not in question, they are just cashing in on the free market. All power to them. Just like you, it ain't for me and I am not in the slightest bit curious of how it performs.
