$800 for a wedge!!!!!

[Capella]

how much for ones that some numpty hasn't drilled a load of holes in?

That's exactly what I thought. Their irons as well. It looks like some prototype somebody put together in a garage. They say the screws are some kind of weighting system, but I think it just looks unfinished. There are a few other very expensive brands out there, mostly Asian ones, and I probably wouldn't spend that much money on their clubs either, but at least they tend to look very sleek and elegant.

Because we are human beings and we seek reason and logic in everything we come across. We would be animals otherwise

Moooooooooo, woooooof

I think the words "Clothes", "New" and "Emperor's" spring to mind.
The comparison between cars isn't valid - a trip from A to B in a Bentley is going to be a far superior experience than the same trip in a Ford Escort.
Hitting a PXG wedge won't be much different to any of the other wedges on the market.
Clubs for people with waay more money than sense and/or an ego that needs to be boosted on a regular basis.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong Imurg, but are you saying you have a Ford Escort for sale?

Absolutely - no problem with that.
But why are they buying them..?
They're a "look at me" purchase, unlikely to make them play better

I dont think anything you have said is wrong exactly but I am not sure about the look at me comment. You buy new clubs every time Callaway make them and I know you know they will not be "better" per say. Is that look at me? or is it just, I like to spend money on the thing I enjoy?

I get what you're saying but most of my kit is 2nd hand - apart from wedges and the Epic, which I only have due to the AG double trade in deal.
I'm not paying $800 for a wedge - or £300 for a putter...

Yep, duno where I am going with this... $800 for a wedge is .... a lot!

A lot of this kinda thing is feel good factor, there must be some "look at me" and some "this will change my game".
