$250 per club? So, $2000 for a set of 8
irons? That includes build and fitting?
At a decent shop rate, half of that could simply be build procedure - weight sorting grips, weight and freq sorting shafts, weight sorting and weight adjusting heads, finding, marking and aligning spines/FLOs, and then blueprinting all those stats. Another quarter to third of the price could very well be the cost of the components (head, shaft, grip) plus markup. The rest of the fee makes up the evaluation part (fitting).
Quite reasonable, actually, for some top of the line Wishons custom fit to your swing. I understand that the equipment costs are significantly higher overseas for Wishon gear as the VAT is killer (it's bad enough paying taxes and duty to just get it across the US/CA border).
What may be a cheaper option is to retrofit your gear. Rene is highly decorated, and is certainly worth what you pay to see her.
