So due to work lay-offs and inevitable hour cut-backs I feel pinched to sell my MP 58s : (

With this said I do not want to stop playing, so I will need a cheap replacement set - sub $150. I always hear good things about Ping Eye 2s and Titleist 755s so those are two I was thinking about...any other suggestions to look into, since I don't know much about older equipment?

Thanks guys.

Sell something else! Become a gigolo! There has to be a better way to come up with cash than getting rid of nice clubs.

If you are so strapped that $350 is going to make a difference you shouldn't be playing any golf at this point.

Really dude? If you aren't going to answer the question, why post?

And yes, $350 would be nice to have to help with student loans, should I lose hours or my job. As far as playing goes, I practice at my house...last time I checked that was free.

Yes, really. You asked for advice and I gave it to you. I'm sorry you didn't like it, but thems the breaks kid. Last time I checked, it costs money to play golf. Practicing isn't playing.

Agreed...if money is a problem and you need to sell your clubs, I would suggest that your $350 would go a lot further if you you didn't play period. However, as you don't see that as providing advice, as per the title of the thread, go to walmart and get a "nice" set from there.

I have been playing Ping Eye 2's for 25+ years. I love them but as you can see from my thread I was looking to upgrade to today's technology and I was looking to purchase new clubs. I would try ebay for used clubs and you can't go wrong with the Ping Eye 2.

Ping Eye2's, PING ISI's, Titleist DCI, Ping i-3's... there are a slough of clubs you can buy for sub $150. Look on craigslist. I always find great clubs that are less than 10 years old selling for like $100.

Unless you can't afford groceries, keep the clubs. Nothing to think about here. I think you will regret your current course of action. Perhaps save money somewhere else. Buy cheaper groceries, don't eat out, don't smoke or drink beer/liquor, have a garage sell, pick up extra cash mowing lawns or raking leaves, etc.. Trim the sails elsewhere is my suggestion.

These, I really like mine and these are only $75... Not too positive on the condition, but you said cheap.

Heck, here's a link to all the available RH iron sets at global, in ascending order. Just from glancing at the first couple of pages, I see Wilson Ci6, Mizuno MX-17, Cleveland TA6, Ben Hogan, Nickent, etc. right around $100. If you've got to sell a more expensive set but still want to have some irons around, then plenty of cheap options out there.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
