April has been a big month at Great Waffles Golf, and we could not be more excited about what is finally starting to hit the shop.
First up, the wait is over: our branded Great Waffles Golf hats are officially in stock. This one means a lot to us because we did not cut corners. Mrs. Waffles put in serious work dialing this in from the ground up. From perfecting the logo placement, to obsessing over the small design details, to picking the best colorways, this drop was built with the same level of care we try to bring to everything we do. She also selected a manufacturer that makes gear for some of the biggest names in the industry, because if we were going to put the Great Waffles Golf name on it, it had to be done right. We are genuinely pumped to finally bring these to you.
We are also continuing to expand our partnership with Bettinardi, and that means more access to the kind of limited releases, Hive products, and premium flat sticks that make Bettinardi one of the most exciting names in the putter world. A perfect example is the recent Bettinardi x Malbon collaboration headcovers — and yes, we got them. We are also fired up for the highly anticipated Hexperimental #7 and #9 heel-shafted zero torque putters, and Great Waffles Golf is going to be one of the first shops to have them available. We are also working directly with Bettinardi on some amazing Great Waffles x Bettinardi exclusive products for our buyers. More details to come on that — we cannot give away all our secrets just yet. We have always loved what Bettinardi brings from Chicago, and we are working hard to get even more of those hard-to-get pieces in front of our community.
We also want to give a huge shoutout to Mizuno. Our partnership with Mizuno continues to be one of the biggest pieces of what we do, and we are grateful for the way they continue to support Great Waffles Golf. We have the lowest prices on Mizuno gear, full stop. What that means for our buyers is simple: incredible deals from one of the top OEMs in the golf business. From golf balls, to gloves, to their amazing hats, to some of the best clubs in the game, Mizuno is our #1 brand, and we are proud to keep bringing that value to our customers.
April also brought some seriously fun Masters-themed shows, and we were able to feature exclusive Masters-inspired drops from brands like Srixon, Evnroll, Pins & Aces, Tour Edge, and Birdie Boss. These shows were a blast, and the support from everyone who jumped in, bid, bought, commented, and shared the stream was huge. That energy is exactly why we keep pushing to bring better and more unique golf products to the community.
Another exciting addition coming into the shop is Nexgen, and this is one we are really fired up about. The Nexgen NS250 line of woods has the kind of look, feel, and performance that makes you stop and pay attention right away. Clean, fast, easy to launch, and packed with that Japanese-market cool factor golfers love. We are also bringing in their Japanese golf balls, which have quickly become some of the most sought-after balls on the market today. Add in the Nexgen Nano glove, one of the best-feeling gloves we have come across, and their Endo-forged wedges, and this brand fits exactly what Great Waffles Golf is all about: premium gear, boutique access, and products you do not see in every big-box golf shop.
We have also inked a deal with Matrix Ozik, one of the most premium composite shaft manufacturers in the market. Matrix has long been known for high-end carbon fiber shaft construction, and their current technology highlights advanced carbon fiber materials along with interply hybrid construction and a unique hexadecagonal internal design built around stability, direction, energy transfer, and distance. That is exactly the kind of boutique, performance-driven gear we want to bring into Great Waffles Golf.
Speaking of shafts, we are also waiting on another big name to hit the shop: Newton Shafts. Newton has built a ton of buzz around its Motion and Fast Motion shaft technology, including its elongated bend profile and kinetic energy storage construction, both designed to help golfers create smoother load, better energy transfer, higher launch, and tighter dispersion. We cannot wait to get these in and start putting them into the hands of golfers looking for something different from the same old stock shaft options.
And finally, the big one: Epon heads and wedges have officially made their way into the shop. For those who know, Epon is on another level. Epon is the in-house brand created to showcase the manufacturing expertise of Endo, one of the most respected forging houses in golf, and their precision forging reputation is exactly why these products are viewed as some of the finest Japanese forgings in the business. The feel, the finish, the shaping, the craftsmanship — it is everything we love about premium Japanese golf equipment.
We are also made our debut on Whatnot in April! This is a new platform for us, and we are excited to continue growing there while expanding the Great Waffles Golf brand to even more buyers. On top of that, we will also be debuting on eBay Live as we continue building out new ways to bring rare gear, limited drops, boutique brands, and live-show energy to the golf community. Stay tuned to our socials on Instagram for more details on when we will be running shows on these platforms.
More than anything, we want to say thank you.
The continued support from our buyers, our online community, and our Central PA golfers has been incredible. We are growing, but we are also trying to grow the right way. We are not trying to bite off more than we can chew. We are trying to build something sustainable, something different, and something that gives golfers access to brands and products they normally would not see every day.
We are only going up from here.
Great Waffles Golf is going to keep bringing our online buyers and our Central Pennsylvania golf community access to the most boutique brands, rare releases, premium builds, and unique golf experiences we can get our hands on.
Thank you for riding with us.
- Mr. Waffles
