Ask HN: Golfers, what are your thoughts on this pricing?

2 pointsby lenkendallover 11 years ago
Trying to tap the golf nerds on HN. Based on what you&#x27;ve spent for similar products, what&#x27;s your take on the pricing of this training club?<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kickstarter.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;tourimpactgolf&#x2F;tour-impact-golf-improve-your-swing-with-sound

Interesting, and seemingly well-researched, idea. My dad - who taught me golf - has been through a lot of &#x27;training aids&#x27; already, and has sometimes shared them with me. Note - he&#x27;s a ~12 handicapper and I play off around ~14.<p>I think the price point of 120USD for a club is entirely reasonable, in fact I was slightly surprised to see it so &#x27;low&#x27;.<p>These days my Dad and I take golf a lot less seriously - and yet still somehow play just as well &#x2F; badly as when we were trying harder - so I wouldn&#x27;t personally support this campaign, however I bet many, many golfers would once the word is out a bit more.<p>Good luck to your friend and his dad. :)

My father is an avid golfer (~2 handicap) and I think he would probably like this product, and the price point is right in there, as a lot of golf aids are more expensive. I wouldn&#x27;t doubt this product could sell big.

To add more clarity and transparency, this Kickstarter campaign is being run by a friend of mine and I&#x27;m trying to provide him and his dad with some useful feedback. Anything would be appreciated.
