Honestly this doesn't sit well with me as a consumer and is a big reason why I don't care for TaylorMade's tactics.

Does theses things bother you guys.

Bag changes may be coming.

The DTC market is expanding. Everyone of their competitors is offering equipment at a much lower price point than them and OEM.

Personally, I haven’t hit a PXG club that I like. The Gen 5 driver looks nice though.

they started out as a supposed super premium brand and now they're discount stuff - pretty remarkable trajectory

Just checked the site.. they're still 250 a club.. that ain't cheap..

That said, I hit the Gen 5's at the island this past Friday.. I liked them.. loft was a bit strong.. was hitting 7 iron nearly 200

I really never gave PXG a thought until I saw they were discounted. Purchased a full set about three weeks ago. The driver and three wood lasted all of one round before I traded them in at PGA superstore. I knew right away they weren't gonna work for me. The irons are very nice though. I did go with the gen 4's as the gen 5's were still at regular price. I would be pissed if I paid full price for a set of gen 5's and they are already discounted. I think their irons and putters are pretty good, but their drivers and woods are shite. I will say that when I picked mine up at the Atlanta store, the fed ex man was delivering about 30 sets of clubs that day.

They went from “We will only release a new product when we have game changing technology” at the beginning

To releasing 15 new iron lines in 3 years.

I suppose I understand why they’re doing it but to me they’ve totally lost any appeal they had over the last few years.

This has been the position of those that have been labeled "anti-PXG"

It's not anti-PXG as much as it's the same reason I dont like TM or Callaway. Might make great products but in 3mos it'll be worth half.

Is that a reason some won't buy their stuff at all, or just a reason to wait? It seems to me if the product is good, just wait a few months. This is coming from a guy who knows nothing about new clubs and how the market works, though.
