They sold out very quickly the last time and have been OOS for some time. theyre also facing a lawsuit from taylormade for these.

I happened to be on the costco site and saw them so posted and no dont work for costco lol.

Clubs were rated highly in many reviews so thought id share for anyone interested

Clubs get great reviews and the price is excellent. Why wouldn't this be of interest on a golf forum?

No doubt it is of interest to some, but when it's a first post from a new member it's only natural to be a bit suspicious.

I don't think Costco need to resort to spamming an Internet forum.

I think they look very nice. Less than £70 per club - not bad.
I would need to add a 50° PW and a 58° SW and then I would have a set that I could use quite comfortably.



I just could not resist, sorry.

50° PW

When was the last time a manufacturer called 50* a pitching wedge? In the 50s?

Actually, just checked Wishon’s book - it was last called that in the 80s

Ping Eye2 1984 PW 50.5°
Mizuno TP9 1986 PW 50°

1989 Cleveland 588 had 44° 9-iron and 49° PW

But in 1994 Lynx Parallax PW was 50°

By about 1995 a PW 48° became the new normal and 3 "wedges" instead of 2 became popular.
They had to invent a new word for the middle one. Various names were tried, approach, gap, etc.

I bought a set of Ping i10 in 2008 and the 3 wedges were 46°, 52° and 58°. The 52° is called UW. Useful, (useless?), utility, ugly, unnecessary, but I'm "undecided".

The 50 degree gap wedge that came with my Ping i210 set gets a lot of use I wasn't going to get it, but the pro insisted. He said if he was wrong, he'd refund the price of the full set!

I've fancied trying these irons for a while. I'm heading over to Guildford on Friday morning to see a client, i will take a detour into Farnborough and see if they have any sets there.

Seen them in the flesh in the Cardiff Costco recently. Very nice looking irons. Can see why TM have gone after them

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Are these actually any good. Not seen too many reviews and I'd be nervous buying from an outlet like Costco (same with Dacathlon)

I think my PW is about 50 deg

I'm eager to try them, if i manage to get a set i'll post my thoughts up. I dont know why you'd be nervous buying from Costco. I've bought tons of stuff from there and never had a problem returning stuff. Their customer service is 2nd to none.

 

[Voyager EMH]

Their wedge set is 52°, 56°, 60°. These look just as nice.

But I do find it odd that they have 5° gaps 35°, 40°, 45° for the 8. 9 and PW.
A 7° gap between PW and GW and then 4° gaps for the two more lofted wedges.
Does not seem to be correct to me, somehow.

Things like this never used to occur when a PW was 50° to 52° and a SW was 56° to 58° and these matched with the rest of the set.
But things are much better now and we can not live in the past.

Buy them, try them and if you dont like them, return them. Perks of costco

They’re basically p790s I think taylormade are trying to sue them
