Every year, as the Halloween decorations get put away and plans for Thanksgiving get finalized, equipment junkies smile because they know it’s the most wonderful time of the year. As the season of giving (and self-gifting) kicks off, golfers know they’re in for something special — discounts on gear that’s been just out of reach. The boom in golf participation in 2020 and 2021 created high demand for gear at a time when many brand’s supply chains were stressed, leading to price increases. For the last few seasons, several manufacturers have priced their marque drivers around $600, fairway woods around $350 and sets of game-improvement and better-player irons well over $1,000 for seven clubs.
But for golfers eyeing premium equipment, the holidays mean a chance to grab big savings on top-tier clubs because, with 2025 equipment set to arrive in pro shops and golf specialty stores in the next 60 to 90 days, manufacturers and shop owners want to sell off inventories, drive sales and make room for next season’s gear. That means discounts. If you are worried that buying a club that is about to be replaced by a newer model could mean missing out on a big performance gain, it’s okay. Improvements to golf equipment are almost always incremental. So, if you work with a good custom fitter and buy a driver or a set of irons that properly matches your swing, it is unlikely that you would see massive gains in distance from the next season’s driver.
A word of caution: Don’t let a discounted price tempt you into buying gear that doesn’t match your game. Getting a 15- or 20-percent discount on the wrong club is no bargain. Have the discipline to work with a good custom fitter to learn whether a discounted club is right for you or not. Knowing that, here are several great deals on popular woods and irons. Some of the deals include the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max driver, the Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore wedges, the Cobra Darkspeed LS driver, the Mizuno JPX 923 Forged irons, the Srixon ZX Mark II drivers, the TaylorMade Qi10 Max driver, and the Wilson DynaPWR irons, among others.
These clubs offer discounts ranging from 11% to 33%, making premium equipment more affordable for golfers looking to upgrade their gear. Each club is designed for specific player types or preferences, such as maximizing ball speed, forgiveness, distance, adjustability, and shot-shaping potential. With the new 2025 equipment set to arrive soon, now is the perfect time to take advantage of these discounts and level up your game. Remember, it’s important to work with a custom fitter to ensure that the discounted club is the right fit for your swing and playing style. Don’t miss out on these great deals that can help you elevate your game without breaking the bank.
