現在的球桿和20年前的球桿價格相比，有比較貴嗎

現在的球桿和20年前的球桿價格相比，有比較貴嗎/Is the current golf clubs expensive than 20 years ago？

球桿價格是有關大家的荷包問題，所以應該都是有興趣。如果打球超過10年、20年的球友就可以感受到這些年的球具價格變化。而我就我個人的經驗提出來和大家分享討論。

我一直以來都不斷在測試、使用新球桿，使用對於球桿價格倒是比較敏感。你別認為我的球桿都是廠商提供我測試用。如果那別人免費的東西，就收入手短。寫出來的東西就很難持平。所以我網站上測試的產品都是自己拿錢出來。

而球桿在10年、20年錢的價格基本和現在是差不多。唯一有點不同在於driver這塊上。其他鐵桿、雞腿、球道木、挖起桿是沒有太大差別。推桿的價格是有提升約1～2成的空間。以Scotty Cameron的推桿來說10多年前的價格約在台幣1萬以內300美金左右。近些年來要1萬2左右400美金。

另外，一號木桿的價格從以前400美金到目前500美金。台幣1萬3左右到1萬5千多目前的價格。而這當中最大的差異在於，以前的球桿比較有打折的機會。尤其是Taylormade桿子，通常3個月就來次打折。因為TM出的新產品比較多也比較快。

所以往往當季的產品，下半年就有折扣。而也是TM帶動球桿的更換和殺戮戰場。但從2014還是2015開始，TM就開始改變銷售策略，新產品的價格基本會守住，不輕易變動。要折扣多半都在年底或隔年新產品上市才會有折扣。

Golf club price is about your budget to spend. IF you have been playing golf for over 10 years or 20 years, you can feel the golf clubs' pricing differentiation. This is I would like to share with golfers with my 20 years golf club purchase experience.

I have been using and testing all kinds of golf clubs including major brands and Japanese less known brands. As a result, I can feel the pricing difference. Do not think I can get free golf clubs from the equipment makers, all of my club reviews are all purchased by myself. Since it's important to express my feel, experience and thought without having the pressure from the makers.

During 20 years time, the golf club prices are similar without big change. The only different in pricing is on woods. Others like wedges and irons are not big change. The putter pricing is up about 10~20% range. You can check the prices for Scotty Cameron, 10 years ago, the SC putter is about $300 range, but now it's $400.

The driver price has gone up about 20%. It was $400 per driver about 15 years ago, but now the driver for major brands is $500. If you counts the inflation, the 20 years ago the price will be $700 to $800 for current price value.

It seems the golf clubs pricing is decreasing. But the fact is before 2013, there were many golf club purchasing discounts and you could get 20 to 50% discount for golf clubs. That's big difference! Currently we do not have discount unless the new products come out on following year. There were many new products come out all the year and when the new products came out, there are discounts for golfers to enjoy and get good bargain.

To be continued…

下集開始。

所以我個人感覺價格其實變化不大，有感覺的變化在於折扣的速度和空間。但從另一個角度來看，球桿的價格20年來變化不大，但生產成本卻增加2～3成的範圍。因為生產基地多半在亞洲，這幾年因為中國的人工成本增加所以導致很多代工廠搬到越南去。

這樣的成本增加和算上通貨膨脹的變化，其實目前的球桿價格要比20年前便宜2成以上。但人都是比較直觀的動物，以自己實際付出的錢去感受。現在的價格有稍微比較高一些，但都還是在很合理的範圍內。

再加上，現在交通方便，多數的球友都經常到海外旅行、購物，所以可以從美國、日本購買相對便宜的球具。配合上目前網路的興旺，太多網站和代購的服務，協助球友可以增加在日本和美國的球具網站進行購買、再運送回來。

其實對多數球友來說，球桿價格其實都差不多。因為如果你固定和一兩家球具店關係不錯。大多會給折扣。所以在球具購買上很少是買定價。很多球友也會從網路上得到價格，然後再到實體球具店去要價格。

球具是你最可靠的夥伴，所以好好的研究和尋找你最好的伴侶是很重要的一件事。價格就算低但不是你要的也白搭。所以你需要做的不是找最好的價格，而是找最適合的桿子！和有經驗的球友或技師討論才是最有用的策略。你想好要在2020年換新球桿嗎？

It's started from Taylormade golf clubs as they always discount for old models. Sometimes, the new products just are the market for 6 months then the next generation golf clubs released. Most of golfers are smart and not purchase the current season products for listing prices.

Now we look at the production cost for golf clubs, in past 10 years, the manufacturing cost has been increasing over 30%, since China labor cost has been up for over 30% and other costs such as energy, rent and shipping are all gone up. That's why golf club OEM manufacturers have moved the facilities to Vietnam to save the costs.

Actually the current golf clubs prices are lower than before. Or I should say we can get the golf clubs from many channels and sources such as online pro-shops and auction sites. Moreover, we can just go to overseas to travel and find good deals for golf clubs.

I would suggest golfers to stick on one or two purchase sources or pro-shops for golf clubs. This way we can build the relationship and they will reserve the clubs for us or given us better deal from time to time. It's important to maintain current customer's satisfaction and that's how online or offline marketing mission.

In fact, with my experience, the prices of the golf club is cheaper than before. We have lots of purchasing sources and dealers to consider in both online and offline. Sometimes we can go to overseas to see good golf club deals. With all kinds of purchasing solution, we certainly can get the best golf deal than before. Do you still think it's experience for golf clubs?
