Best Deal in Equipment

[Solidstrike]

 

Post what you think is the best deal in equipment.

 

My vote goes to the Cobra Radspeed Fairway; retails for $279.  The Fujikura Motore X F3 stock shaft is new for 2020 and retails for $275.  I emailed Cobra and they confirmed it is the real deal.  
 

I recently was fitted for this shaft at Club Champion in regular flex for my TS2 3w and it is unbelievable.  As consistent and fast as Oban, LA Golf, and a few other high end shafts that were in my top selections for my 85 mph club head speed.

2 seasons ago I got a Wilson D300 driver on end of season closeout for $99.95 in plastic. A driver with a tour win, it should be added. 

 

Best deal I ever got anyway

I agree on the Cobra. I admire they only use real deal shafts. Also the woods are fantastic. I always try other drivers and woods, but they don't perform as well for me or if they do it is negligible and not worth the more expensive price.

That's pretty damn good. I went with Mizuno's new ST-z for my new 5 wood. They also offer Motore F3's at no upcharge. The Motore shaft is smooth yet so stable and has helped eliminate my left side miss (I'm RH).

Everything I've ever owned from Tour Edge has performed great and were a great value.

The best deal in equipment is....last years models, of course!

 

But yes, mizuno/cobra are great deals with their real deal shafts at no upcharge.

Srixon whenever they have BOGO for the Z Star is an absurd deal.

TS drivers for $349.

Kirkland golf balls are basically a $1 a ball for a urethane ball... I think 2nd place would be a cut ball for $2 a ball? In terms of value that’s pretty high up there...

 

im guessing you can’t flip the shaft out of a cobra that easily, but maybe im wrong?

 

buy one at 46 inches, sell the shaft and it’s a mostly free three wood.

The TaylorMade buy 3 get one personalization promo that ended recently 😞

Any club related to Sub70 is best bang for buck, and they use real deal shafts. Personally I love my pro fairway with genuine Velocore Ventus that I got with and extra 10% off on cyber Monday. All in I think it was $360 ish

Tough to beat New Level stuff when they run a 15 or 20% off.   Quality clubs at awesome prices

I'm going with the Golfworks Pak - Maltby STi2 irons with TT Score shafts. 8 irons, built to your requested specs, for $199. Not the fanciest club out there, but a solid head and shaft.

[LeftyMatt24]

Titleist new woods with the prototype 2.0 raw TX shafts. They are 350 from most places still for the shaft

I’d agree. Anything Maltby falls into this category.

I love the Motore X F3 shaft. I’m playing it in my Radspeed XB driver and ST-Z 3-wood, which I’m using at 17* and really more like a 4-wood. Really appreciate Cobra and Mizuno offering it as a stock option.

I'm surprised someone was able to win on tour with the plastic still on😉 but the tour pros have preternatural hand-eye coordination to begin with, so anything is possible with them.  Good price for a used club😆

Buy once, cry once is my value proposition. Lost track of how many times I’ve cut corners on something or bought “almost as good,” only to end up buying what I really wanted later on.

Or go the other way, and keep the shaft and flip the head, which is what I’m going to end up doing with the rad speed xb I just got.  The entire club is a great value, but just wasn’t quite right for me...

[jomatty]

The tp5 pix “practice” balls are hard to beat...

[elwhippy]

Srixon balls must be the best value. Same performance as TM and V1 and much less expensive. No brainer.

 

Clubs wise. Brand new G400 hybrids for £120.

I think this is a good philosophy for anything you are going to have to live with.
 

You can definitely find some deals in golf, but it’s worth doing things “right” most of the time! I love my sub70 stuff because I can easily customize the stuff that’s important to me (length, shaft and grip) while getting a good deal on a club. They don’t have the tech other companies have, but for wedges, irons and hybrids, I’m not looking for bleeding edge stuff...

 

I also don’t play Kirkland balls despite them being so cheap. I have more fun playing balls that better suit my game, even at double the cost.

Any of the DTC companies (Sub 70, New Level, Snell, etc) are hard to beat and are often overlooked.  Maltby and Golfworks clubs and shafts are up there too.
