Plus, IIRC your swing speed is pretty high so what people normally get for shafts won't really be a good option. You might be better off just paying full price and getting one of the premium shaft options that comes with that price?

At a Callaway demo day at my course, I was able to get custom fitting for my son who swings fast as well for $418, but he didn't want or need a new driver.

I actually was going to try to get to a demo day for Callaway to try this driver but I need to be a little healthier first.

No, I also read your entire post which I personally thought was full of assumptions about my swing along with a few other things which I agree with you on.

I wouldn't trust any club on Ebay with a huge discount.  I have purchased used on there before and the club was clearly inferior.  Counter fit companies have gotten really good at making clubs LOOK like they real deal, but performance is a joke.

I didn't see any assumptions regarding your swing in his posts?

So, we have no idea how you swing because you haven't posted a swing thread yet. If you don't want to assume that people are making assumptions regarding your swing you can mitigate them by posting one. Just saying. . .

OTOH, I am working on my gizmo to end all gizmos for my iphone 6S plus, and am somewhat delinquent in posting my latest swings as well.

Let's race to see who can post their latest swings first***? :-D

 

***Keep in mind that I am designing and printing a gizmo to adapt an alignment rod into a self standing monopod from which I can install or remove my iphone easily.

 yeah, you're probably right. I took the "you" in the statements to mean me personally, but "you" could just mean anybody I guess

All I can say is that I bought a new Cobra Baffler XL 5 wood, a Cobra Flyz + driver, a Adams Speedline Super S 3 FW, and a Cobra Bio Cell 3-4 hybrid off of ebay at prices much lower than Dick's Sporting Good's, and after using these clubs I can assure you from how they perform that they most certainly are not inferior to any club you might pay much more for at Dick's. If I would have bought those same clubs at Dicks it would have cost me hundreds of dollars more than I paid for those clubs on ebay. So if you want to pay the enormous amount to purchase clubs at Dick's and pay for their overhead costs then go ahead and be my guest. As for me, I buy the same clubs that Dick's sells for much less and take the amount I saved and use it for other equipment.

Well you can't buy from just anybody on ebay, but the good sellers aren't too hard to find. Almost all the stuff I've gotten off ebay has been from the same 3-4 accounts.

Agree with this. Also, the feedback is a good indicator. Someone with a lot of private sales and 100% positive feedback is a good seller. Good sellers also provide good pictures.

Yep - and the clubs they sell are just as good as Dick's at a much lower cost because you don't have to pay for the expensive overhead like at Dick's

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
