TWO Cleveland Launcher 15* 3 woods, one Comp, one Ti

Cleveland Launcher 5 wood 19*

I have a set of MacGregor V Foil Forged M-455's 3-SW (9 irons) with regular flex graphite that I would sell him for $50, brand new in the plastic. 10/10 shape.

So, add up my totals here:

9.99 putter
0.99 wedge
10.50 Driver
25.01 for TWO 3 woods
25.00 5 wood
50.00 for irons (3-SW)

Total = $121.51

This took me all of 5 minutes to throw together. I could easily beat this total if I could link to my "special hoing places", but I refuse to divulge my sources for fear of competition.

Lol. You gotta wait till the auction ends man. The wedge went for $26 and the driver for $52... and I'll sell Bob my Miura's for $49... and $421 shipping.

Pretty sure you need to count shipping also but I could be wrong lol.

[fredcouplesfan]

How is that Global Golf? Is the condition of there used stuff pretty good?

[Lil_Huth]

Global Golf is a fantastic place to buy golf clubs. The condition of their stuff is very good and anything 3 stars and above looks almost new. They are fantastic to do business with. Much better than ebay IMO. Hope I helped.

[warbirdlover]

GG is tops. Their "rating" system is much more critical then most. And they ship for free if over $100(?). And we get a ST discount.

[fredcouplesfan]

Sounds good, whats the discount?

[Lil_Huth]

[Lil_Huth]

Anytime you need help all you have to do is ask. So what you Ho'ing from global tht you wanted to know?

[fredcouplesfan]

Thinking about hoing a new 3 wood, my 980 is beat to death.

[IrishGolfer]

OK, time to start finalising your submissions, only a few days left to the cut-off. This could get interesting, some excellent contentders so far.

[IrishGolfer]

Here's how things lie, as of today.

[IrishGolfer]

Just a few hours left, tick, tock!! And remember there is a nice prize for the winner. Winner will be announced on Sunday night after extensive judging.

for irons I'm going for the amazingly forgiving TOUR EDGE BAZOOKA QL IRONS 3-PW STEEL REGULAR these are a hybrid - iron set

With the Bazooka QL Iron-Wood, it's easy to be good.

The QL has the deepest CG Tour Edge has every created. Unlike past Tour Edge Iron-Woods, the QL has a 15-gram tungsten sole weight. You'll hit higher, longer and more accurate shots because this fixed weight creates a lower CG and a higher moment of inertia (the club's ability to resist twisting). The QL's deep CG also comes from a progressive sole width and weighting. The long irons are more wood-like, with a heavier, wider sole. As the set progresses to the scoring irons, the sole becomes narrower, creating a more traditional appearance.

The set's progressive sole width moves the CG lower from a low, deep position in the long irons to a shallow, higher position in the scoring irons. The result is the ideal trajectory for each iron in the set.

I called up and the sale price is $199 (I should get bonus points for calling the US)
