I found an Aldila shaft on Amazon for about half what Golf Galaxy sells it for. Seller has a 98% rating and says it’s factory direct and guaranteed new etc. I know GG will be expensive but is it worth the risk? Just unsure of the legit factor. I’ve always had A+ success with Amazon. Thoughts?

If someone ends up with a single shaft, why not sell it and get something? Cut down on inventory clutter, whether you run a small golf shop or just end up with stuff in the corner of your family room.

Golf shops and even GolfWorks (online) will sell off left-over shaft models at a big discount.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I bought a single shaft on ebay (Fujikura Fuel 60S) mainly because I was looking for an exotics tip and spotted this shaft with that particular tip already on it. Now I can swap  shafts. No problems with the purchase.

I got the Aldila Rogue Max 65 S with the Callaway green grip and Epic adapter... all for $129. The seller was Akers out of Myrtle Beach. I spoke with them and it was all Factory new. The shaft alone from GG was $285. I’m thrilled. And I love it!!! Thanks.

    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
