Profitable Golf Equipment to Source
Golf Clubs
Golf clubs are the most profitable golf product on the market. In 2021, $1.87 billion in golf clubs were sold. Because of the level of machine work needed to produce them and how crucial they are to the game of golf they will always be one of the most profitable golf products to sell. With even popular golf names turning to Chinese manufacturers, the rules of golf were conformed around the performance of these sourced products.
“Made in China” not only stocks the shelves in Wal-Mart, it also inspires the intellectual horsepower in the research-and-development halls at golf’s biggest club companies, as well as the inquisitive tinkerers alone in their garages.

Producing Custom Golf Products
Custom golf products or accessories can also be very profitable. If your product can help improve a player’s enjoyment or performance of the game, then people will likely be willing to buy it. We’ve helped people with very creative ideas get their products made successfully.
Just because the item you want to make isn’t considered one of the most “top profitable” doesn’t mean you can’t be successful with it. If you can find a niche within the golf market you can still achieve success.
