Lucky vs the big names
Why do big-name wedges cost what they do?
Most of it isn't the wedge. It's the tour contract, the shop that stocks it, and everybody in between.

Look at the head and the face. Those are the parts that hit the ball, and they're not where the markup goes.
So where does it go
Where the extra money goes.
01
The tour contract
Somebody's getting paid to have that wedge in the bag on Sunday. That money's in the price you pay.
02
The shop
Floor space, staff and rent, in a building you've got to drive to, and the club's carrying all of it.
03
Everybody in between
A distributor sits between the factory and the shop, and takes a cut on the way past.
We don't have any of those, so none of it got added in the first place. It's not a sale. There's just less in there.
Don't take our word for it
Check it yourself.

From people who switched
They switched from the big names.
“Took a chance on these wedges and have been very pleasantly surprised at their appearance, performance and durability. Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a solid wedge and doesn’t want to pay the price for the large and popular brands and doesn’t have the need or want to get fitted!”
“Great looks and performance for the price”
“I LOVE my wedges they preform high up with the big name brands and all my friends are jealous of how sexy these clubs are”
