That is totally different........

$2 for a 12" sandwich, large fries and a soda, might be about cost only......

I would guess shipping costs for 4 hybrids to be at least $15 ....... besides that $1.75 for a hybrid, can about only be a mistake ...... even throwing them in the wastebin makes a better margin......

If you're looking strictly at the one sale itself, you're absolutely right.

Suppose the ad hadn't been a mistake, and they had sent him the clubs at that price.  You want to be he - and a sizable fraction of whoever he tells about the deal - watches their ad regularly?  I bet they sell some things at a good profit after the fact to some of the people watching their email blasts.

Yep if I would have been the shop, I would have updated the mistake, but still have sended the hybrids or I would have contacted the buyer that something went wrong........

...and so this adventure is about to end.

To recap.

I purchased a set of hybrids from the website of Golf Outlets USA.

As it turns out, yes it was a mistake.  However, Dick...i mean Gerald ...LISTEN UP>>>>they declined to answer my e-mails after the refund....LISTEN DICK>>>>>that is how thy do business...I found reviews on the internet of this action with other customers.

DICK!  I filed a complaint with the BBB of California.  Communication opened and after negotiations they sent me a FREE hybrid.

DICK!!!! FREE!!!!!!!!!  Better than 1 cent!

Now get this-the freakin shaft was put on backwards!

I now have a new towel rack!

Meanwhile at Sports Authority I pickued up a killer 5 wood....I think it's the one Elin used!

Swing Happy My Friends!

The print, which ID's the flex, the make, etc which is on the front of the shaft, is on the back.  No biggie, it won't change the swing, but just sloppy work in assembly.

Perhaps I should have used  "on the back side of the shaft." (see pix to the left)

Swing Happy My Friends!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
