t's easy to think of limited-edition runs of specialty golf clubs as a marketing ploy. But the truth is, these special offers are a chance for companies to expand a technology or test a new concept, probably before that idea becomes mainstream. It's also an opportunity to try out new finishes that might better match a certain audience's preferences. Or, fueled by tour-player demands, offer specs that better align with the games of some average players. With that in mind, here are five special editions that could be just what you've been looking for.
