I started a thread yesterday about gppgolf.com and i received a positive response about the website. But what i want to know is how do they sell for so cheap. For instance these Nike clubs ( http://www.gppgolf.com/gppg/content/...ariantId=67522 ) are $500 at Dicks. Is there something that i'm missing here?

They're definately legit so lets just get that straight. Why their prices are so low is something I don't know, nor would I speculate.

Bought a set of Ping G2s a couple of years ago from them and they were in perfect shape at an extremely reasonable price. I think they're safe.

Oh, idk about this site, that's just my response to why a site would have ridiculous prices.

they also sell em for $279 BRAND NEW on ebay and $299 at RockBottomGolf. Dicks is just overpriced

Yes Dick's is like the last major golf store on the market too reduce anything. I guess it's because they sell so many other sporting goods that they can let clubs set there for a few years before they mark them down.

Unfortunately the best stocked pro shop near me is a Dick's so I do buy balls and gloves from there, that's about it!

Yeah im in the exact same situation. However my Dick's has a very helpful staff so that is a major plus.

Don't knock Dick's. You can find some really good deals there if you are patient. Yesterday I just bought a Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5* i-Mix with Aldila DVS 60-S shaft for $150!!!

This site you are talking about has the same club (non i-Mix version with the stock Ozik shaft) for $399.

I don't know about this particular site, but might these clubs be old? Perhaps they are selling "model year 2007 or 2008" clubs. When I bought my Big Bertha 2008's, people were still selling BB 2006, new.

Right place at the right time I guess. I had never seen the i-Mix stuff in Dick's. Granted, they were already together and did not come with the wrench, but the components were brand new. They had 4 or 5 of them, but only one was the Tour LCG model. I saw them Monday at lunch, went back to the office and researched them. Once I saw what they were selling for other places and then realized my worst case if I hated the club, the trade-in value of that combo at callawaypreowned.com is $100 I figured it was a no brainer. Buy it, play it, if I don't like it I'm going to get a minimum of 70% of the purchase price in trade for it. Crazy.

I've never bought clubs from them nor do I know anyone that has. That's not to say they aren't completely legit. One reason they may be significantly cheaper than Dick's though is the fact that they don't need to carry a margin anywhere near what Dick's does. Dick's has to pay for millions of square feet of retail space whereas on online retailer can work out of his or her garage or basement.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
