I have a couple of drivers I am looking to unload.

First is 10.5 SuperDeep TP, head only. It's in like 9/10 condition, basically perfect. Any R9/R11 tipped shaft would work in it. $125?

Next is a Superfast 2.0 TP 9.5 with Fujikura Motore Speeder 6.2 stiff shaft in it. There is one semi sky mark high on the toe, not noticeable except for when looking directly at the face. $275?

PM me if you are interested and I can send you pictures. I bought and sold a bunch of things on my old account, and have perfect feedback on both wrx and ebay.

I have a set of RH Ping i10 3-PW, regular flex AWT shaft, black dot that I'm selling for my neighbor. The irons are in excellent condition, they were purchased new this year and used for maybe 20 rounds + some range time. I have perfect feedback on golfwrx and 11+ years of perfect feedback on Ebay - if interested PM me and I'll send pics, have close-up pics of each face plus other pics as well.

Looking to get $325 shipped lower 48 only for these.

First, it's the TP version, which afaict is still $300+ with the stock shaft.

Second, that shaft is $250+ new.

Am I missing something? And that shaft is 240 new and im sure it can be found cheaper since no one who plays recreationally is gonna go spend that much just on a shaft

I don't know why you are being a dick. Like, use your eyes and read for comprehension. Then use Google.

I will go slow.

TaylorMade. Superfast. 2.0. TP.

At this point maybe you will realize that the driver you linked to is the Superfast. Period. Not Superfast 2.0, just Superfast. The 2.0 came out AFTER the Superfast, it's the white one, and it costs more than the regular Superfast because it's newer and cooler and yada yada yada.

And apparently people DO spend money on shafts, because I, and the guy I bought this driver from, both just play for recreation. And the shaft in my other driver cost just as much. And all my good playing friends play shafts that aren't the stock stuff you find in clubs. But just call a TM retailer and ask them what the upcharge for this shaft is. Quality **** costs money.

All of this is ignoring the fact that I am only asking $275 for this thing. When this first came out less than a year ago (I think) it would have been a $650 retail club if my math is correct. And being that used 2.0's with stock shafts are still selling for over $200, I think $275 for this one is actually one hell of a deal.

Basically just STFU if you don't know what you are talking about. Which you have made it perfectly clear you don't.

Pretty sure you're the one being ******ed here. The premise that spending 600 rather than 300 on a driver somehow makes one ******ed is honestly one of the dumbest things I've seen someone post online.

Nah most recreational players will buy a name brand club because they dont want a $50 knock off one which is fine i guess. The fact that they wanna upgrade a club thats probably better than what need is the not so great idea.

What do you mean, better than what they need? They don't need anything from the last 20 years. You don't need to play golf, period. If one is going to play golf with any regularity, it's perfectly reasonable to buy clubs. If a person is going to buy clubs, then it's perfectly reasonable to buy as expensive of clubs as you can afford to. It's not like we're talking about food or clothing or something. Of course people can live without 600 dollar drivers, but who are you to tell them they shouldn't spend their money on them if they have it to spend?

It always amazes me that some people don't realize that not everyone assigns the same value to things. In related news, somewhere someone just paid too much for a boba fett doll.

First, I'm a +1.

Second, it's lol that you are making blanket statements about people's equipment choices.

Third, I personally would never pay $600 for a golf club, which is why I buy used stuff outside of wedges.

Lastly, if anyone itt is a ******, it's pretty likely to be you at this point judging by your reading comprehension.

Retail is uber expensive. Thankfully I grew up as the son of a PGA golf professional, not PGA Tour player just in case it may have been construed as that. I may have never played the game if it was not for my father being in the business.

It is completely understandable for those who are considered an amateur who play at a high skill level which theoretically is still recreational considering it is not playing for a living to justify spending top dollar on equipment. Some individuals just value certain things in life differently. Whether they are material or intangible does not make a difference. Just my opinion.

I grew up playing this game & have seen almost all view points from both sides of the equation. From customer viewpoints & being behind the counter to me as a player. I am not claiming I know everything, I just have experienced a lot. That is all.

There we have it, folks, it's official. People being different and thus valuing things differently = ******ed.

I think what he means by this is that the equipment will only improve a players game so much. A player with poor geometry & physics, equipment simply does not matter & is made to cure or overcome poor mechanics. Just maybe reduce the variance of mi****s. There is a device that measures every possible category you can possibly fathom that is out there made for golf instruction. Trackman. There are a few threads within the golf category that a few users can explain the concepts more effectively. Hopefully I explained this properly. If not PM me & I will attempt to further explain.

I'd go with equipment can reduce the variance... CANNOT eliminate it. At some point better equipment will help you get better...

Properly fitted equipment and properly assembled equipment always helps though.

Sometimes not enough is said about how clubs are assembled ie. with care and precision or just slapped together. It makes a big difference.... Ive got an old Lynx womans 5wood laying around that everybody loves to hit... Nothing fancy nothing special, but it was built spot on throughout and is a beautiful thing to hit.

What's better. The base model Corvette or the one with the upgraded sports packages? If you're going to take your car down to the track and drive it as best you can, yes, a Corvette will be enough for most people, but for people that genuinely know how to take advantage of what the upgraded suspension, tires, whatever-else-it-upgrades.

Better players can take advantage of the better equipment. Like the poster above me just said, it reduces variance. It gives them more consistency when they hit the shots they are trying to hit.


I was going to go with the "Why buy anything but a $2000 car? Won't that '91 Toyota Corolla get you to work and back?", but you'd just sit there and say "This post is just ******ed and not worth responding to".


I should mention that I put in specific shafts into every one of my woods when I get them.

Superfast is sold. SuperDeep has some interest on another site, but I haven't sold it yet, so PM me if interested.

I only commented because he said he was a recreational player. The majority of recreational players are terrible and dont even need a 300$ driver. I consider someone who shoots 85 terrible fwiw. All my clubs have custom shafts in them as I do all my own club work myself. Im also probably a +2 handicap and would be way lower if I could putt. Most people think they need better equipment than they do when in reality they need a better golf swing

Surprising you weren't aware of the value of the driver/shaft in the first place given your vast wealth of knowledge and experience.

I dont pay as close attention at the moment because Im not really in the market for new clubs. Also seems like drivers are getting better shafts in them as the stock shaft. I really have no idea what shaft Taylormade uses in a stock driver because I have never played a Taylormade driver in my life
