I have a question. How can some sellers on ebay sell brand new shafts for so cheap? Like they have Adila VS Proto shafts on there selling for $50/new. These retail for almost $200.
How can it be possible? Warehouse bulk sale? Minor Defects that the consumer won't notice?

They are not fakes. I have purchased over ten Aldila VS's on ebay with no problems. Graphite design Purple Ice and PM702 also not cheap shafts at the local shop go for a fraction of the price on ebay. I have purchased 20 shafts on ebay and they are all legit from a place in CA Proshopwearhouse.

Some of them are pullouts, so they might have cosmetic sctatches, but other than that there are no differences. It's always good to buy from a authorized dealer with a high rating though.

There are now a lot of fake shafts on ebay. Another site has a number of threads on how to identify them. Be very careful.

I've bought clubs from proshopwarehouse, but this one is in Ohio. I don't know where they get their stuff, but their clubs usually have replacement shafts or "custom" shafts. Maybe they pull the good shafts and sell them separately?

driver: G10 draw 9 degrees
hybrids DWS 16 and 20 degrees
irons: x-16 3-pw
wedges: 588 RTG 51, 56 & 60
putter: Heavy Putter B3-Mball: hx tour (I'll switch after I lose these)

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
