Getting the Most for Your Money
Golf clubs are getting more expensive. Wedges used to be $100; now $150 is expected and $200 is not unheard of. An iron set over $1,000 used to raise eyebrows, now it’s commonplace.
An Objective Definition of Value
In its simplest form, a golf club is a tool. It’s the thing we swing to make the golf ball go a particular distance, fly at a certain height, roll a specific way, etc. With this in mind, we can create a very straightforward definition of value: how well does a club do it’s job relative to how much it costs.
A Final Wrinkle
The last complication is the perception of brands and the value they provide. Humans have limited brain power and attention, so we come up with heuristics to help us make complex choices easier. One example is the assumption that things that cost more are better.
Part 1: What Do You Need?
This whole lesson was spurred by a reader asking if they needed to “upgrade” from one club to a more expensive one. My response was to ask if the current club was somehow inadequate.
Part 2: What Do You Want?
After you’ve figured out what you need, ask yourself what you want. As a quick aside, it’s ok to skip the first part. You may recognize that your bag is perfectly functional and simply want new toys.
Part 3: Where is the Value?
Finally, we return to that original question of what is value in a golf club. Leaving aside the purely objective definition, my answer is that finding good value is about spending money in a way that will help you enjoy the game more . The more enjoyment you can get out of each dollar, the better the value.

Do golf clubs pay full market value?

What is the difference between a low cost golf club and a high cost golf club?

More expensive clubs by their nature of being made from better materials and a more labour intensive process will more than likely last longer than their cheaper counterparts.
