The same thing happened with me when I was buying my stuff this summer. They had a 4th of July 15% offer, so everything's price was jacked up, which was OK considering that the 15% off will make them even cheaper than how they were originally, but when I checked out and tried using the code, it did not work.

I ended up buying things with the jacked up price!! I could've saved $80.
It was really stupid of me, I admit I was too hasty.

Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18
Best Round: 89

I think at the end of the day, everyone should just look around for the best deal and not always assume that RBG has the best deal. No big deal, it's capitalism.

As far as quality of the products, has anyone had any issues with buying clubs off the site? I always figured RBG's inventory came from wholesalers, lot buys, etc. I purchased a few shirts and was not really impressed. They do always seem to have deals on bags, and now they have the TM Burners for like 120 bucks. 9.5 stiff should be a 9.5 stiff right? Now i know that each club can be a little different with different degrees of offset etc from the manufacturing process. Is there a chance that RBG may get some clubs that would be traditionally sold in an "outlet" type store for items that don't pass QC?

Hey there! Thanks for checkin' in. Here's a quick breakdown of how this Caveman keep his pricing as low as possible and takes the pressure off your pocket book. First, I set my normal price, which is almost always the lowest on the block to begin with! Sometimes I'll go even lower than this normal price when I'm featuring an item on my home page, in one of my newsletters, heck, maybe I just have too many and need to clear some room in The Cave! I call these my super cave specials. Specials could last a day, a week, a month, who knows! I like to play stuff by ear. But once a HUGE sale like my 15% off hits, all specials disappear because my 15% off pricing is EVEN BETTER! So yes, it could look like I'm raising my prices to the untrained Caveman, but in the long run you're still saving EVEN MORE! And while I'd love to give you 15% off my special pricing, I'd love even more not to have a 2nd mortgage! Thanks and I do apologize for any confusion.

Wow I may actually have colon cancer with the smoke that was just blown up my arse. So what your saying is your raising your price say 14% but giving a 15% off on the best deal so it's a one percent savings on some items. Other items not so. Sounds a lot like a Walmart sale while it may be good buisness for RBG it's still smells of a snake oil salesman. And the response is just a justification for a not so much sale. I understand you need to make money and your company does offer some good deals. I think what most people are looking for is a trustworthy discount company they can deal with.

In the Bag:

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
