[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2718748, member: 70903"] I get that but if you do the math - they will end up where a lot of other custom club makers have been - maybe they can get the replica Newport to be something special enough to buy it over the original from the studio if you want that logo you are talking about on it. and maybe they can create something worth paying big money for in the wedge game after the initial excitement wears off but even at $1000 a club - selling and making two a day per business day of the year will barely turn a profit much less make a living. Just look at the actual financial results for PXG when they are honest about their R&D and marketing costs - its a hobby more than a business. so at some point they will come to the same realization that most of the guys who have their names on clubs already have in the past - you either make a name and then sell out to a major manufacturer to become their "designer" so they mass produce your engineering specs - or you go find something else to do. I used to see lots of them wandering around Mon - Wed at the range when I ran it during the tournament and they are all great guys with big ideas - but golf is already a niche market even at a mass marketing level...
