£400, £500, £600 for a driver.
I’m looking at the Mizuno ST-X 220 custom fit and it comes in at £285. Reviews seem really positive. I’ve had Mizuno fairway woods previously and really liked them, but people seem to shy away from their drivers.

Their driver brand marketing is not as good as the big 4. Drivers are just as good of course.

Just remembered that I bought a driver a year ago to the day. Collected - no postage.
I photographed it with next door neighbour's TM RBZ to give it some scale.
But then I'm in a seriously elitist bunch of very skilful golfers who have the outstanding ability to play with such extra special clubs. Only the best can play with the best clubs, after all.

99p - you've been ripped off there. Most people would pay to clear that out.

Maybe they should make these old things compulsory on Tour... then you'd see who can find the middle of the bat!
New Year, new driver? I am ok for now ta!

Just hope this now brings the price of the 2022 Rogue down, Had it in a hire set and it was great just couldn't justify the price!

A lot. Esp if you buy new every couple of years. But not if you buy one and use it a lot over a 5 year period IMO
Is it any more outlandish than £50-£60 a GF for an utterly unremarkable course, £7 a pint, £12 for a Five Guys burger (no chips or drink), £300 for a summer round at an Open venue, or the amount people spend on their cars?
I think it is. You know what you are getting with the pint, the 5 guys, or even playing the open course. There is an upfront price/benefit judgement. Some 600£ driver buyers recognise they are simply buying a luxury good whose brand in itself is worth paying for. But the driver also claims or positions itself as something offering increased function, and for those buying on that premise, it is outlandish.

You always get inverted snobbery on these types of threads, sad but true.

If they are quoting a price for a custom fit, does this not mean it is a "whats best for you from this selection of shafts" fit? Some shafts alone are more than £285.
The list of shafts is extensive and having looked at them they’re top quality. It’s a really good price.

It will do but you might not be able to order one with the shaft you need. Try the likes of golfclubs4cash if you are looking for one.

Rogue ST line is unlikely to drop much yet..
It'll be a current driver until this time next year.
Epic Max range should drop now assuming there's stock.

That's true, they have kept lasts years model "current" for another year recently even though they don't advertise them.

They have done for a few years now.
Yes, there's a new range of Callaway woods every year but they stay current for 2 years...

It certainly sounds it.
From Snainton Golf. I know plenty who have used them, including a good number on here it seems, and they are very competitively priced on the majority of their stock by the look of things.

With reference to golf equipment, I'm an extremely inverted snob. (Definitely not with people, because I'm neither snob or inverted snob with them)
But I don't find anything sad about that - I'm quite upbeat about it.
We are all entitled to our views. It would be very sad if there were no differing views.

Most people? - I doubt it. More likely that MOST PEOPLE will be asking for you to part with around £20 per club.
Like I said before - this is only for the very serious and very skilful golfers
- not everyone's cup of tea - carry on poo-poo-ing as much as you like - that won't make you a better golfer.Or have a go.
Increase your golfing enjoyment.

The Rogue ST driver (Max) is incredible, I've always been a decent driver for my handicap but the Rogue takes it to another level. Well worth the money.
