New drivers, irons, putters – the big equipment brands are launching their latest products and the prices may not be for the faint-hearted.

It doesn’t matter how you dress it up, £500 is a chunk of change for a new driver and a through-the-bag set will run into thousands.

What goes into the pricing? Is it about profit or is the technology, research, and effort that goes into making new clubs worthy of our investment?

Tom Irwin and NCG equipment editor Hannah Holden have been at The PGA Show, in Orlando, scouting out the newest releases. They discuss what’s been going on in Florida and answer the $64,000 question all club golfers have about new gear.
