Question for Geek owners.

I have read the glowing praise from Lyle, WBL & Dave.

My question is you all seem to have gotten a bargain, Dave got an ex-demo and I think there a lot cheaper over in the states than over here.

For a 10.5 fitted with a ProLaunch it's gonna cost me £152 about $304 usd. If I want the VS proto its gonna be £177 thats $356 usd.

That's not far behind the price of the TM's, Tittys and Callys. Is it worth that much? If I could pick one up for around £100-£125 I'd be ready to try it out but the price is just putting me off a little.

I have a 12* head I could ship you for very little if you are interested. Its used (hit maybe 25 balls) and is in A1 condition.

Shove a low launch shaft in that head and it might be the perfect combo.

You're getting hosed at that price.

PM Lyle, or, if he's too busy, e-mail Neil at Pheonix Golf Works. Phoenix Golf Works

But, the idea of head only and shafting it yourself is probably best. You'd save a bundle on shipping alone.

Only problem with that is my Brother in law has got his eye on the HiBore so I think I will be selling that as it is.

PM sent. I prefer mid or low kick point shafts though so may be too high loft?

BigHitGolf emailed me back to say he'd knock £20 off?

a 12º Geek should equal about a 10.5º in any other driver. Get a low launch shaft in it and you'll have a winner.
