So I'm looking at a used Callaway Heavenwood 4H with the uniflex steel shaft at a local golf shop. The thing looks like it's barely even been hit. They are asking $65 which seems decent to me (it's about half of the cost of a new one). Anyway, I was on PGA.com looking at club resale values and it shows a high end re-sale of $46 for this club. Yet, on Callawaygolfpreowned.com they have one of these in "Average" condition for $65. The one I'm looking at is in way better than average condition.

Is PGA.com's $46 re-sale value a little on the low side? Thoughts?

Don't get too wrapped up in online values. Is the club worth $65 to you? That's all that should matter.

Exactly......if you want it bad enough, will you pay that price?

I reccommend Ebay.....found some great deals there, just make sure you see or ask for detailed pictures of the item, and look for 100% feedback.

BTW I still love the warbird plated woods from Callaway long ago..

PGA's value guide is done by the averages through ebay. So, the average sale price on

ebay is $46, not necessarily overall average. Also, they don't take into consideration the shape the clubs are in (although they do have the high and low prices, which basically does show the "like new" clubs being in the highs, and the beat up clubs being in the lows).

I bought my 3H &4H on eBay about a year ago. I paid $120 for both and thought I got a steal. A year later, I know it was a steal. I love those clubs and are probably my favorite go to clubs when I'm in a pinch. It's almost automatic.

They are well worth $65.

I can tell you that I have had the 2, 3, and 4 Heavenwood in my bag for over 2 years. These clubs are absolutely amazing. You will not be disappointed. Have you hit one yet? If so, it is worth the money you discussed. I was under a tree today with low hanging branches and in the rough 150 yards out. The lowest iron I had was a 5. I took out the 4 Heavenwood, placed the ball in the back of my stance, weight on front foot and let her go. The ball rolled right past the hole and left me with a birdie attempt. Go for it!

    • 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.
    • 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.
