Nat Don’t compare it to anything value golf or hireko make. This is several dozen levels above. But it is a steep ask for a component putter.
I think that's the tough sell for Golfworks, but I give them credit for doing it. I want my component head to be as good as the OEM, but I don't want to pay the OEM price. Unfortunately if you're going to make something really good it's going to be more expensive. I know some guys are balking at the price of the Tour TC irons, fairways, etc, but they are high quality heads IMHO and priced accordingly. I know Hireko has less expensive stuff, but I agree that I haven't seen the same quality from them. Their stuff is decent, but it's not to the level of Golfworks or Wishon that I've seen.
I haven't seen this putter head yet, but from the description it sounds like an OEM might use it in a $300-$400+ putter. In this case I do think $160 may be a bit high as I will want a shaft, grip and hosel. With these I'm probably spending another $60-$80 depending on my selections so now I'm at $225 or more. That gives me pause as I paid < $200 for my like new Toulon putter on CPO. I don't think my Toulon is of higher quality, but I'm 99% certain it's got far more resale value.
