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?

    • Re: your graphic, ‘ I expected a little more from a varsity letterman.’ Lol…just another one for @boogielicious
    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.  
    • I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though.
