Taylormade Introduces 'The Turn' Equipment Financing Program

[4Left]

For most of us, the gear we want/need is expensive. Many of look for the latest and greatest in available club tech to make the game just little bit easier and our scores a little bit lower.

 

Taylormade has introduced a program that aims to make purchasing their wears a easier and more palatable for golfers (and the 'finance departments' at home aka wives. Amiright fellas?!)

 

'The Turn' takes a page from wireless carriers: pay a little bit each month for 12 to 24 months with an interest rate a bit lower than what you would see on a credit card purchase. Depending upon the length of the term, you can expect to pay an extra 100 bucks for your club(s).

 

An additional feature of the program is a not so attractive trade in program where you can get a new driver or irons when they are available and start a new term.

 

What are your thoughts? Would you take Taylormade up on their financing option? Will we see more of the same from other manufacturers? Retailers?

I posted about this a couple weeks ago and it seems like a gimmick honestly.

 

Golf equipment generally depreciates pretty quickly so by the time your six or eight months into paying for the club or the set you are upside down in it because it's now worth less than you owe. Why not take the money you would have paid a month for the club and put it aside and in a few months you will have money to buy the club you want outright anyway without the interest? Or simply wait for the club to be six months old and you can pick up for sale somewhere anyway.

 

Just my two cents, and I'll admit I'm a fiscal conservative that hates debt

Do we really need to start this topic again?!

As I said in a previous post on this topic why would I want to pay full price plus some for a product I know I could buy at 50% discount in six months.

I'm gonna be fecicious here fellas:

 

1. Is there a "mileage" aka swing limit on the clubs? (Chuckling to myself)

2. I can see huge issues with turn ins and damage.

 

 

Cheers
