Scratch Golf is going out of business [Golfwrx]

Wonder what this means for Ryan Moore. I'm not a knowledgeable equipment person, but they were the company I first noticed who had a wide variety of custom grind options, or at least presented it most prevalently on its web site.

GolfWRX has learned that Scratch Golf, a boutique golf equipment company founded in 2003, will go out of business. The company faced financial difficulties in recent years, which led to a company restructuring that “didn’t work out,” according to founder and outgoing President Ari Techner.

I believe Moore is playing Parsons Golf Irons -- the new company formed by the godaddy.com owner -- who hired Ping people to design his clubs, which are uber-expensive. I suspect he  will go with Parsons as they make driver, fairway, irons, and wedges. Parsons are the clubs with extremely customized weighting in the clubs.

Yeah Moore left Scratch after the 2010 season.

Is Duval still with Scratch?

hey were the company I first noticed who had a wide variety of custom grind options,

...which is probably one of the reasons they are going out of business.

If there is one thing that average golfers do NOT need, it's "custom grinds".

No, he was with them for about a year and went back to Nike.

Does anyone know of companies similar to Scratch? Or are they coming back one day?

I was giving them a look because I am enamored with the idea of custom irons - stamping, colors, etc. It's pretty easy to find wedge offerings among the major brands and boutiques, but irons have proven difficult to discover with Google.

They aren't coming back. Look into Edel. That's my suggestion.
