Scratch Golf Launches New Line of American-Made Wedges

News Summary

These high-quality wedges, made from durable 1018 carbon steel, are customizable and aim to enhance the golfing experience for players of all skill levels.

Scratch Golf Celebrates Local Manufacturing with New American-Made Wedges

After a long and winding road through the world of golf equipment, Scratch Golf is proud to announce the launch of their brand new line of 100% American-made forged wedges. This exciting development comes after a **13-year journey** that has seen the company evolve and adapt to the ever-changing golfing landscape.

The Beginnings of Scratch Golf

Founded back in 2003 by the passionate Ari Techner, Scratch Golf began with a straightforward vision: to create golf clubs that were not only designed but also made and assembled right here in the United States. Originally, the first wedge prototypes were to be forged by Hoffman Forging located in Tullahoma, Tennessee. However, just **30 days** before production was set to kick off, the company unexpectedly went bust, sending Shockwaves through Scratch Golf.

Undeterred by this setback, Techner sought help elsewhere and was fortunate enough to team up with a well-respected forging house in Japan. This partnership allowed Scratch Golf to produce high-quality forged wedges for over a decade, cementing their reputation in the golf community.

Relocation and Growth

In August of 2013, Scratch Golf made the bold move to relocate its headquarters from Chattanooga to Berkley, Michigan—a decision that brought the company closer to its roots and local manufacturing capabilities.

An Exciting Launch

Fast forward to now, and Techner has unveiled the much-anticipated American-forged wedges, proudly stating that they are “100-percent made in Michigan.” Each wedge, priced at $299, is crafted from durable 1018 carbon steel, making them not only sturdy but also easily customizable for golfers of all skill levels. These wedges will be available through the company’s bespoke Tour Custom Department starting late spring or early summer.

Personalization Options

Golf enthusiasts can sweeten the deal by fully customizing their U.S.-forged wedges. Imagine a wedge that fits your style and complements your swing! What’s more, the clubs will be assembled using top-notch American-made accessories, including Pure Grips, True Temper shafts, and Michigan-made ferrules.

While the new American-forged options are generating buzz, Scratch Golf will retain its offerings of Japanese-forged wedges and irons. This means customers can choose between the exceptional craftsmanship from both American and Japanese traditions, giving golfers a wealth of options to find the perfect club.

The Craftsmanship Factor

As scratch golf embarks on this new chapter, Techner expresses a real enthusiasm for the production process in Michigan, highlighting the benefits of local manufacturing. This setup enables the team to handle challenges and make immediate adjustments, ensuring top-quality results. The wedges are designed with various custom grinds, including Scratch Golf’s unique EGG Grind, to cater to different player preferences.

Golf Market Dynamics

The golf equipment market has often sparked debates around pricing, especially in the premium segment. Scratch Golf’s new pricing strategy may raise some eyebrows, yet they emphasize the importance of craftsmanship and customization. With growth in competitive offerings in the golf equipment space, Scratch Golf is determined to stand apart by offering personalized, high-quality products that resonate with golfing enthusiasts.

The Road Ahead

With its new lineup of American-forged wedges, Scratch Golf is not just launching a product; they are igniting a passion for local manufacturing, showcasing what can be achieved when dedication meets craftsmanship. It looks like there are exciting days ahead for both the brand and golfers eager to get their hands on these customized beauties!
