Well, while going through my old golf magazines, i came across the 1993 equipment guide from all of the manufacturers.
Two major things i noticed while reading.
#1 The Prices! holy crap its expensive, even for todays money.
Some big staff bags were $600+ (some 900!) and irons were 1500 to 1800 a set, although alot of sets cam with 3 woods, but still, everything big $$$$. Driver were 600 to 900 for a small metal thing! balls still 6.50 plus for good balls.
If you bought irons for $1800 now people would just laugh! well forum people would.
#2 The technology hasent really changed. Bigger yes but ideas, no.
Driving irons = Hybrids
60 and 64 degree wedges
forged blades
Combo sets
it was all there, its like the ideas have got bigger but not really that different in terms of set make up, its still driver, woods, irons, wedges, putter. i dont know what else it could be, but in 15 years you would think the 3-pw would have changed a little more.
thoughts, ideas, experiences?
