Are Manufacturers Ripping You Off?

photo credit: rutlo I believe it's time to take a good hard look at the exorbitant prices of golf clubs. For too long, golf club manufacturers have been raising the prices of clubs to unheard of levels; doing so under the cloak of “new and latest technology.” A good set of irons will cost between $800 - $1,000, can the average golfer afford that?
If their prices represented the true worth of the clubs, why are the trade-in values priced so low? For example: A 2005 set of Callaway Irons ( Retail $1000) have a trade-in value of $117 ! A 2005 set of Adams Idea Irons ( Retail $800) now have a trade-in value of $52 !
Will those $1000 irons really lower your score, or is that what manufacturers just want you to believe will happen?
