benmcal Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Golf is expensive...I bet a lot of us get a bit sad when we see the price tag of new clubs in retail stores. Most of us probably can't justify spending ($500-$1000) on a stock or custom fit club or much more for a set of irons, but it is amazing what deals you can find on the internet! Personally, I haven't bought a "new" club in years, but you'd never know from looking at my bag. So, I'm curious... what are your BEST finds from second hand sources like kijiji, ebay, globalgolf, secondswing, etc. that are in your bag? If you picked up a Scotty at a garage sale for $15 you win My Top 2: Taylormade P790 UDI 2i - KBS Hybrid 80S Shaft My pride and joy...Picked this beauty up Sept 2019 from globalgolf.ca ($130 CAD taxed+shipped).

beelzeberto Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I paid $500 for my P790s (4-AW) with recoil F4 shafts. Sold the shafts for $180 (minus $10 for shipping), bought some Ctapers for 120. So ultimately paid around $450 for my irons. benmcal 1 Quote Sim / M2 / MG Z785 Brandon Matthews No2 - Not Made for the Tour "buy the ticket, take the ride..."

I switched from S300's that I had in some Mizuno 919F's. The Ctaper 120S feels stiffer, more girthy lol. I like them a lot more but then again I did also switch to the 790's which I think are a smaller head as well. It's probably all mental. benmcal 1 Quote Sim / M2 / MG Z785 Brandon Matthews No2 - Not Made for the Tour "buy the ticket, take the ride..."

Ploobear Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Titleist DCI oversize irons 3 iron - gap wedge, great condition even after 8 years of use. Dad got them for me in college for $50. I bought the sand and lob wedges from the set separately and they cost more than the rest of the set. I love these things. Feel and hit just as good as anything selling for $1000.

dgoober Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 My best value purchase was a brand new flat stick. Cleveland TFI 2135 8.0 counterweighted 2 years ago for like $150. Excellent quality, feel and alignment in a blade. Finally did a basic fitting and found I needed a counterweight. Fantastic value for the technology and the copper milled face look is killer. Help me out with some likes - trying to get out of the recruit status. Thx! Nolan220 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theflyin_haRyan Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Picked up a used Callaway Rogue sub zero with stiff shaft and midsize grip, which were fitted for me, for only $150. Club was in great shape. Best deal I found was definitely an Odyssey Metal-X milled #2 putter I found at golf galaxy. It was used but it could have easily passed for brand new. Even had a weighted Super stroke grip on it. Walked out the door with it for less than $135. Ended up using it for the season and re-selling it for more than I bought it for benmcal 1 Quote Driver: Ping G430 LST 9* Woods: Cobra Speedzone 3w & 5w Irons: Ping i200 5i - PW Wedges: Ping Glide Forged GW, RTX Zipcore 56* & 60* Putter: Axis 1 Rose B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavygolffeels Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Was looking at picking up a 60 degree Hi Toe, but found a deal for a 56 and 60 with Modus 120 shafts (same as my irons) for $100. Basically brand new. Put the 60 in the bag immediately and had plans to sell the 56 to recoup the lions share of the original purchase price, but it beat out my existing SW as well. Was very happy with that deal. benmcal and Nic 2 Quote GARSEN GRIP TESTER Driver: PING G400 MAX, Ventus Blue 6x Woods: COBRA F6 Baffler AD DI 8S Hybrid: CALLAWAY Apex Pro, Ventus Blue 8s Irons: SRIXON ZX5 mk2 5-6, ZX7 mk2 7-PW, Modus 120x Wedges: EDEL 50 C grind, 54 V grind, CLEVELAND 60 RTX6 Low Putter: YES Abbie!

bacchus Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Scotty X7M. Bought it for 60% when Golfsmith was going out of business. I went up to that store pretty often at the beginning of the close out sale and I noticed after the first week or two the clubs were going fast but they still have a lot of putters left and were dropping the discount about 10% per week or two. I was waiting for them to hit about 40-60% off, but by the time I got up there the putters were 60% off and I went straight to grab the scotty I had liked from prior testing. I kept the scotty close and putted around to make sure I preferred the Scotty over the other options and scored a hell of the deal.

The 19th Hole Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Way back when, I bought the original TM RBZ driver (2011 I believe). I played that for a couple years until the TM M1 430 came out in 2015. I was still happy with my driver so had not even thought about it until my Father and I were at our local Muni (Shout out to San Jose Municipal GC) and he says "Hey have you tried the new M1 yet?" to which I snarkily reply "NO..why would I? You buying it?" ..... TO my shock he says "Yeah Sure"...Needless to say I had a new driver on order that day. (ended up buying myself the matching 3 wood a couple months later...) ANYWAYS...Happily played that driver until May 25th, 2019 when I hit a drive at Poppy Ridge GC in Livermore, CA and it sounded weird. Looked down and there was a small crack at the bottom of the face. I shot an email to my guy at Muni and he told me to bring it in. He took it and called his friends over at TM. By June 6th They shipped me a brand new M5 to replace it at no cost. So that is easily the best deal in my bag. (still gaming the M1 3 wood though..kinda hoping I crack the face soon...) (note: I probably should have taken the plastic wrap off the driver before taking a photo...too late now..)
