My CoWorker offered me $400 cash for my original X18 irons and my FT5 driver. I have been wanting new irons since last season, (been looking at the AP1 and AP2 and now the X24) and the $400 is probably more money than I would get in trade, and I dont do the whole ebay thing. I wouldnt have the cash to buy a new set of irons till this winter and that would leave me without clubs for the rest of the season, which is only half over with. I might be able to use my dads old BH-5's and I am probably better off using my 3metal off the tee lately anyways. I havent been able to play more than once a week lately because I have a 2 month old daughter at home (cant wait to teach her to play ) and havent gotten into much of a groove and my timing is off so I have pretty much chalked this season up as a wash. Anyways I was just looking for some input on wether you thought it was worth it to sell or if I should just keep them. I would probably buy another FT5 since I am a big fan of it, but I am sure I could find a newer one for a steal. Just looking for input, thanks in advance.

Well if you traded those irons in you would only get $116, ,and they sell on ebay for an average of $200. So take the money.

I am going to go the opposite way. I say keep the clubs you have. 1. You won't see any improvement from the different irons. 2. You are just going to buy the same driver anyway. 3. You won't have clubs the duration of the season! 4. You have a 2 month old, do you think you will have the disposable income for new clubs in the winter time if you don't have it now? Anyways, this is my thinking, especially since I am a month away from having my first kid.

Good luck

I was thinking the same thing...stock up on diapers. Having clubs now is a lot better than maybe having clubs then.

If you can for sure borrow your dad's Hogan irons long-term, then absolutely yes I would sell them. But then, I "do the ebay thing" so I could find a set of irons I would enjoy for around $400 or a little more.

Let's think long-range on this, dad.

1) Keep your current clubs, and work on your swing when you can.

2) Teach your daughter how to play golf.

3) After she's starts winning on the LPGA tour, she can buy you the first set of Callaway X32 Tour irons off the assembly line, custom fit for you in Carlsbad.

Life is good!

Focus, connect and follow through!

Sell the clubs for $400, buy yourself some Ping G15's (after kicking in a few more $$)

Don't sell the clubs and use the money elsewhere. That $400 gets you pretty close to a new set of irons. Spend it on diapers and you never know how long it'll be before you're able to get new irons. X-18's are nice....X-24's are nicer (and G15's are even better) and getting new clubs is part of the fun of golf. I was about to buy clubs last year...waited for the G15's to come out, didn't pull the trigger, ended up buying a house and putting my club purchase on hold for a year. Could have been 2 years or more if my company stock price didn't take a nice bump up!

Sell the clubs for $400 and "do the Ebay thing"...buy a set of clubs you can play untiil you save enough scratch to get the ones you really want and that you can unload quickly for close to what you paid for them. Ping Eye 2's would be my suggestion.

DRIVER: Big Bertha Diablo 10 degree draw, Aldila regular flex

Keep what you have. X18's are great clubs for someone who can only play once in a while, and that 2 month old is only going to get more expensive as she gets older.

SOLD!! Thanks for everybodies input, the unt is on for new irons!

As long as your mind is made up, I'd suggest taking a look at globalgolf's selection of used irons. Here's a link of righty used iron sets, priced lowed to highest. A ton of options for a quick fix or longer term set. Good luck in your hunt--that's a good price you're getting for the X-18s.

So OP what's your next move? The funny thing is you could probably buy back your set in the same condition on CAllaway Preowned for less than what you sold it for.

In the blue Colts bag:

Driver - FT-5 10Β°
Hybrids - 4DX 15.5Β°, 20Β°

The irons would be $280 for an average set that is 1 up and .5" long. Or $370 for standard like news.

The driver would be $90 for the cheapest one. That would leave him with $55 in profit before shipping charges.

    • Although the base rules don't make this really clear, the Player must have decided to use Unplayable Ball relief before lifting the ball.  This exact situation is discussed in the Committee Procedures section of the Rules, section 6C(8).  Section 6C addresses how to rule when a Player proceeds under a Rule that does not apply.  Note that 9.4 applies, 9.4 deals with a player moving his ball when no rule allows it.   Rule 9.4 penalizes the Player for lifting his ball when not permitted by the Rules, and requires him to replace it.  Since he dropped and played from a different place, the Wrong Place penalty applies.  As for a serious breach, that would only apply if the Wrong Place gave him a really significant advantage.  Since he could have taken Unplayable Ball relief in essentially the same spot, for just 1 penalty stroke, the Wrong Place penalty of 2 strokes is enough "punishment", there's no need to consider a DQ.
