Scratch Golf going out of business

Recommended Posts

I guess it's not much of a rumor since it's been reported and has comments from Ari in the article, but it looks like Scratch is done.

 

Tried finding a different place to link to but right now it just looks like WRX has the story so here it is.

It's a bummer they are done, I played their wedges prior to the Scor wedges and really liked them.  Also had a combo set of AR/SB irons for a season.

Wasn't there an issue with the steel that Scratch was using for their wedges?  I remember something like it wasn't what was advertised and the forging didn't happen where they said it did, or something like that.  I wonder if that has something to do with going out of business?  Maybe there designs will be picked up by a Japanese company like Sonartec was by Royal Collection.

Wow that is amazing since some guy on WRX just did a review on the WITB thread on his new Scratch irons a couple of weeks ago and a couple others were going to drive up there to be fitted with the same type iron. I actually called and talked to Ari a few years ago because they had 2 loft and lie machines like mine

I believe that was a lie started by the guy that owns tour spec golf. He also spread some false info about miura if memory serves.

 

There is actually a thread about it somewhere. In the end it all turned out to be BS from the TS guy who didn't like the margins he was getting.

Other way around, Sonartec licensed the designs from Royal Collection.

Thanks Dave.  I didn't know that; way before my time.  I just know that the Sonartec FW that I picked up this year have kicked my RBZ clubs out of the bag.  I can't afford the Royal Collection clubs!!!

The are pretty good. Nybrids were great too but they were made for a high SS,
