After reading it back, I guess I should add that I'm not affiliated with eBay in any way. It reads like a love story ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great post.  I just recently bought a new set of 2016 Mizuno JPX-EX irons 4-GW for $300.  I absolutely love the clubs.  I plan to do a review of them soon.  I also purchased a Taylormade SLDR 3 Hybrid on ebay.

I think MGS already did official member reviews for those. You might wanna check before doing your own.

Great topic and a smart way to buy clubs!  I haven't used ebay but have bought through trading in on used equipment.  If any of you are in need of finding single iron replacements, try out www.clubfinders.com*.  You can also purchase used iron sets as well as buying a full bag from their selections or drivers, fairway woods, etc...  My current setup consists trades, garage sales, and close-outs! Like someone posted earlier, if you buy new and hit it once, it's USED.

Do you get a decent return on investment when you trade your clubs back to that site? When I sell mine I usually get at least 75% of what I paid for it and have even turned a profit a few times.

For this lovely TBT, I thought it would be cool to go back and update my WITB post. Unlike you ho's, many of the clubs are the same with slight tweaks. The little custom pieces keep these clubs feeling fresh.

 

Without further ado:

 

 

file-79D427A4-B62A-40E6-BDC7-02A61CAB5709-33946-000009A844086502.jpg

 

The driver is new to me. Ping G30 LST. Picked it up in the fall due to many reports that the G30 was still as good (if not better) than any of the recent offerings. G400 may be better but I'm not in a rush to change. Got a good deal on this puppy especially considering the shaft: Graphite Design Tour AD-BB 6x. I'll just say this, golf is a lot easier from the fairway.

file-896790F1-B1B2-4EAC-B36D-913B09DF868E-33946-000009A84283A916.jpg

 

 

file-5E7F5324-ADDD-43F0-88E5-510F2189B238-33946-000009A84186105B.jpg

Ping i25 3 wood still stands. It's super hot but I'm on the prowl for a deal on the F7/F8 fairways now that I've gotten a taste of the hybrid.

 

file-853DCBE3-652E-421F-861C-47DA87C9EA96-33946-000009A842074A43.jpg

This Cobra F7 3-4 hybrid was worn when I got it (partially why I got such a deal on it) but this one is AWESOME. Can play it off the tee for an easy fairway and it goes high enough to stop on the greens. I've finally got some stability on this slot and it feels good.

Irons are still the TM TP MC and the wedges are still the Titleist 200 series. The irons are still in fantastic shape besides bag chatter (despite being 7 years old). The wedges are holding up but very worn. Have sharpened the grooves a few times to keep life out of them but I'm pretty sure the grooves are non-conforming by now. The only thing new about each of these is a little DIY paint fill action.

file-E05598CA-DEF2-4F56-915D-D10B849C120B-33946-000009A847E3E621.jpg

 

Then I've got new grips across the whole bag, PURE Pro midsize. I'm a label down guy. Love the look and they've helped me a lot with my hand position. The only one I didn't change was the hybrid because I'm mashing it right now with the grip the previous owner had on it. Also, KBS was nice enough to send me fresh stickers to replace the ones that were falling off my Tour-S shafts.

file-81DA9F9E-22DF-4087-A15C-6E6FBE418E0E-33946-000009A840C324F2.jpg

 

 

 

Then I've got this great ball marker to support my alma mater and the 2 tee heights I use. I don't like using any other tees besides these so I'm not a tee box searcher.

file-D074CEC9-9AB8-4520-8F1A-8FBD09036E1A-33946-000009A8498B89C2.jpg

 

 

 

 

Lastly, my beast of a push cart and cart bag. Clicgear 3.5+ goes with me everywhere I go and the Ogio Pisa holds them tight. I got the Pisa because it was built for push carts and it has not disappointed. Then everyone knows how good the Clicgear.

Nice setup.  I'm always interested in what other people are gaming.  I love the headcovers in the old pictures.  For some reason, I can't see the new pics.

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

How about now?

 

Still have the headcovers. Might replace the driver with an MGS cover once they're available.

Yup.  All good.  Everything looks great.  I'm with you on buying cheap.  The only new club I ever bought was a driver by PFG(?) from ebay.  It was super cheap.  As a lefty, it's hard to walk in someplace and find a great deal, so I scrounge where I can.  I think the best deal I've found was the full set 4-AW of Wilson Di9's for my son (righty) that had never been hit.  $15 at a yard sale.  They were dusty and a couple had a couple of small rust spots from the damp, but they still had the retail barcode stickers on them.

Flew a little too close to the sun with the paint fill. Long story short, I messed it up and had to start over. This time, I went for a little more flare and did alternating fills to match the alternating grips.
