I am trying to find a good site or store whre I could get a good deal on a new Full Set. (Irons, Driver, Fairway Woods)  I am looking at getting a set of Rocketballz with the new Bladz coming out the prices are down.

Buying the set in pieces from Golfsmith is a little over $1100 with tax and shipping.

Great Golf Deals has the same set for $985.

Both are more than I really want to spend, I am thinking about waitting till the Spring of 2014 and seeing what I could get then.

Thoughts?

I can't comment on the Great Golf Deals site, but I agree with the others about eBay.  In January, I bought a brand new set of TaylorMade Burner 2.0 irons from 2nd Swing on eBay for $275.00.  2nd Swing is a great vendor and I have also bought off of BudgetGolf as well.  Good Luck with the new clubs

You have to make sure that whoever is selling them is legit.  eBay is loaded with fake clubs from China, if you aren't buying from legit sellers and the price seems really low, there's a good chance you're buying fake clubs.

Very true about the fake sellers and clubs.  The nice thing is that you can usually tell certain vendors on eBay sell A TON of clubs.  Just make sure you check their seller rating and feedback.  Many sellers you'll see has a 100 percent rating at 20,000 or so.  Very reputable but yes make sure you buy from one of those sellers.

I read somewhere that 40% of the clubs selling on ebay are fake so be very careful where you are buying them.  I don't mind paying a bit more if I am assured I am buying authentic gear.  I've bought a lot of stuff from greatgolfdeals and have been very satisfied.  I even had a driver that cracked on me after about 6 months of use and greatgolfdeals helped me get the club replaced under warranty.  the old adage is true in golf gear - it it's priced too good to be true, beware.

If you have doubts about buying from e bay, ask the vendor for the serial numbers from the clubs your interested in, i.e. Taylomade, then call Talyormade to verify them..I've bought from 3 balls, and a couple others, no problems, also check Global Golf, they are a sponsor on TST. and have new, and used clubs.

I had a friend check serial numbers with Titleist and they would not confirm serial #s because they do not want you to buy anywhere other than an authorized dealer. I don't know about other manufacturers though.

I've bought lots of clubs and other stuff from eBay and never been burned. Read the feedback and closely read the ads, and you'll be fine, and save lots of money. It's not hard to figure out who the reputable dealers are. They'll be the ones with thousands of positive feedback and clearly stated, reasonable return policies.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
