If that club just happens to perfectly fit your specs (shallow face, stout shaft, 8.5° of loft) then it's an OK deal. If you're buying it just to have a "tour" club but should be playing a driver with a softer shaft or more loft, then I'd say it's not a very good deal.

But, like you said, life is short.

I have a similar question...

How much should I expect to pay for these Big Bertha irons (4-pw) and does anyone know what year they are?



Found them for sale on craigslist and they would fit me well. Posting says they are in very good condition with golf pride tour wrap grips.

You're going from a 10.5 reg to a 8.5 stiff? Doesn't sound like the club fits you.

surfer 154: those big berthas look like they are either 1994's or 1996's, on callawayprewoned the '96 very goods are going for $295 to $350 (though thats 3-PW) and the '94 very goods are $330 to $300 (again, thats 3-PW) those prices are probably higher than the price you'll get on the ones you're looking at

Is it used or new? If you really want this club there are many like it on Ebay and I think you can get them for less. Good luck. I love my 510TP!!

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

He wants $200 for them, which is about at the roof of what i'm looking to spend. I'm also a little apprehensive about buying clubs almost 13 years old..

valueguide.pga.com says retail price for a set of steel shafted '96 BB irons would be $160, add about $30 for graphite shafts. Everything on Craigslist is negotiable.

    • 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.
