GolfSpy_BNG Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Can they sell it?

NM01 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Xanders switched putters a few times in the last 18 months or so. Heβs only had this putter in his hand for less than 6 of those. Itβs a prototype putter so itβs not even at retail now. Not saying they wouldnβt try to capitalize on it but thereβs a chance they donβt and I would put it at 50/50 at best. Itβs not like putter that Koepka used to win 4 majors which was already a retail get discontinued model that then saw an increase demand to get a hold of one.

Most limited release golf items sell out because there is a segment of the collector community who want a limited release. Within that community is a number of people who are looking to flip for a profit. I donβt see a link on Callaway/odyseey website to pre order. So if they are trying to capitalize on it they arenβt making it easy to find. Not granted I just did a search for Xander schauffele which took me to the sold our limited release and when I went to the Toulon putters it wasnβt there eitherΒ If they are doing a mass release of the putter not sure it sells as well as if they keep it to a limited release.Β Quote Link to comment

TAGolf13 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 It's hard to argue with Scheffler's wins and top-10 finishes, but Xander is right there behind him. I'll take Scheffler's record this season, but I think Xander's game is better suited to long-term success. I suspect that even with Scheffler's success to date, the lack of balance in his swing will become problematic as he ages. Quote Still swinging after all these years Link to comment
