React To This! Would you play a White Ferrule (or any color besides black)


Recommended Posts

My Golf Spy'ers....

 

Need your opinion, what are your thoughts on White Ferrules? We are expanding in to the wedge / premium iron market and evaluating in house components. We are really digging the customization options with color ferrules from Cell Parts. Being that you all are golf club degenerates, we value your opinion even if your wife does not.

 

Let us have it, should we offer them or not?

I like it. I say offer to match the ferrule with the paintfill, they want lime green paintfill, a lime ferrule it is

 

This is a good idea. Co-sign.

That's all just personal opinion. I for one don't like white ferrules, but I don't like white grips either. I just bought blue grips though. So maybe for Mizuno players, who dig the Mizuno blue, it would be nice to pimp their irons with blue grip and blue ferrules ?

Absolutely. I have white ferrules on my Miura CB-501s. The fitter volunteered to "pimp them out". I left everything to his discretion, and while I wasn't sure about them at first, I now love them.

 

He also chose lime green grips, which I love just as much, if not more.

White ferrules are our #2 most popular color right now and demand for them has increased about 10 fold this past year.

 

Then the most popular colors in order for 2010:

 

#3 Pink

#4 Red

#5 Yellow

does it make the club better?

 

 

I don't think I would invest in a product just for the color without some added function to the OEM.

Either way you need to get ferrules...at pennies a piece, it's not a major investment.

Foz - a cars paint does not make it go faster or handle better but we still drive around in cars that aren't bare metal :rolleyes:

I like the white but I'm a fan of matching the ferrules to the grips or graphics anyways so it's not hard to convince me.

 

Foz: Maybe I'm alone here but the flashier my clubs get, the more confident I am standing over them. So yes, funky ferrules, grips, paint fills or shaft coatings does increase performance. Sort of like if you made your clubs look like Fowlers wardrobe, but less orange (Tropicana really needs to take a sponsorship with him)

I laught at your claims to fight a zombie apocalypse when most of you can't stand up to a Spider

Next time around (probably when it's time for new grips), I'd like to get to the point where the grips match the ferrules and every club has a different color.

We always match the Ferrules to the shaft because if you match them to the grip, and change grip color you'll need to take apart the clubs to get a matching ferrule.

 

Whereas, if you change the shaft, you gotta change the ferrule anyway.

I like to just put white grips on and make sure the ferrule has a matching ring. I have red with black and silver ringed ferrules on my MP-37's and red Golf Pride BCT Cords. I still like the white grips and lime better.
