In the month to 15 January 2006 the Golfalot Price Index, which tracks the average price of golf equipment from UK retailers, fell for the 3rd consecutive month by 2.7%. As the new season approaches, many retailers came out with special offers to increase sales and move old product before new ranges arrive in early 2006. The biggest fallers were utility clubs, irons, trolleys and golf balls, which all fell between 2.5% to 5% over the month. Utility clubs have been the worst performing sector recently. Pices have now fallen by nearly 22% since September 2005, so manufacturers will be hoping that new 2006 models can halt this slide.
The Golfalot Price Index tracks the prices of the latest model(s) from each manufacturer are chosen as they reach the market so the models tracked always reflect pricing on what the serious golfer wants, the latest technology. Prices are taken from Golfalot.com’s market leading golf equipment price comparison service which tracks all the prices every day from every major UK golf retailer with a national pricing policy.
