Did it again... impulse buy: 695MB

[Range King]

Hello folks,

just to let you know, that I have again made an impulse buy on ebay.

Please could you help me to justify it?

Set of 2 year old Titleist 695MB (3-PW) including 3 Vokeys and a Titleist carry bag.
Clubs have Nippon 1050 shafts and GP multicompund grips.

Even though I am probably not able to play them, I am doing quite a good job justifiying the purchase:
- Deal was good (300$)
- I promised to myself to invest the same amount into lessons
- Will get rid of a big part of my club collection

These clubs are just so beautiful, and I wanted to try forged irons.

Are there 12 step programs for golf club addicts?

sorry, cant help ya, lol. i have over 2500 transactions on my ebay account. impulse purchases are a big problem for me. hell, i bought a 67 Mustang GTA on an impulse purchase a couple of years ago on ebay (it was a good deal). the only thing i can think of doing is cancelling your ebay account, but im not strong enough to do that. dont know about you though, heh. but in regards to golf purchases, take a look at this photo. this is about 2 months worth of impulse purchases, and this is only HALF of the pile! the other half is in my office downstairs!

THIS is pretty ... advanced.

Hello folks,

That's a really good deal. Plus, if you keep on improving, these could be your next set of irons.

That's a really good deal. Plus, if you keep on improving, these could be your next set of irons.

I really hope, I will be able to play them some day. They arrive tomorrow.

Yeah you did get a pretty good deal.

Why don't you think you can play them? I see plenty of people over 15 handicaps playing blades and I believe the MB's are blades correct?

Yeah you did get a pretty good deal.

They are indeed blades. I was really thinking of purchasing those clubs when Titleist came out with the AP2s. I hit the AP2s and fell in love. I also appreciate the forgiveness they offer on shots that are not struck properly. I think if you have the patience and time to practice with them, they will inevitably make you a better player. That said, practice time and patience will be key and are sometimes hard to come by with this game

I own the Titleist 695mb's and simply love them. I switch back and forth between them and my Ping S58s. You can't go wrong with those Titleist blades

And I felt guilty for ordering a Nike 4-Wood the other day!

i love ebay before, and make some impulse buys too, But i once got fake callaway wedges 3 for 180 . I felt all the "saving" were gone. Now i would only go to local golf shop, and ask them for a deal.
