In and out of clubs as often as I change my underwear

Seriously? Posting my thoughts (opinions) and then getting feedback (opinions) from other people IS DISCUSSION

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***?

 

***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

"I think you need to actually learn how to swing before you break the bank."

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
