You’ve seen those flashy, modernistic vehicles at the major car shows that the manufacturers refer to as “concept cars.”
Look great, look sexy, you can’t buy ’em.
So here comes Titleist to wet your club whistle, especially if you got about four-large, four g’s, four-grand to drop on golf clubs.
Titleist is now in the high-end, blow-the-budget club business, but says it isn’t, not really, we just want to show off some pretty equipment.
What they have produced are prototype C16 irons and a C16 driver.
It’s the highest high-tech can get for now and if you get excited about stuff like SP-700 titanium, you can read about it on the Titleist website.
What we know is that if you’re connected enough, a driver will cost $1,000. Irons will cost $3,000.
How can you get ’em? Perhaps if your chummy with a guy named Steve Pelisek, the Titleist General Manager of Golf Clubs.
Not in stores, not in pro shops, not in their tour players’ bags.
“These clubs are previews of what’s to come. Maybe not in the next generation, maybe in two generations,” says Pelisek.
Shucks.
