Some guys have all the luck. As long as it’s not cracked, you can get a new shaft for it for under $100.

My buddy just found an AI smoke head in the woods while relieving himself. He took it in, had a shaft put on it, and he’s hitting it fine now.
@Hollis
Did he lose it the week prior?
Dude no, my brother-in-law is too cheap to buy anything more than $100 for his set. Hell, his driver up to that point was a cheap $10 driver I let him use that I found at a Goodwill on clearance.
@Hollis
Honestly, most of us would be absolutely fine with $10 drivers.

I swear like once every two years I get my buddy to come out or a friend of a friend who used to golf 20 years ago but now maybe goes out once a year. They show up with an off-brand club from 20-30 years ago, hit the hell out of it, and honestly aren’t any more than 5-10 yards off of everyone else’s distance with new drivers.
It’s usually those rounds where I look at my bag full of pretty new clubs, ProV1’s, and scorecards headed to the high 80’s again and ask myself ‘what the hell am I even doing?’
I like golf equipment as much as the next guy but it really is the most overrated aspect of golfing.
@Toryn
Agreed, I have a $25 skill level and $2500 in clubs. It’s all part of the fun though. At least this way I know it’s me, and not the clubs, lol.

It’s almost always not the clubs, lol.

Most of us could play just as well with a bocce mallet.

Exactly. People need to stop slut-shaming us club whores.
@Toryn
I bought a complete set of clubs from Walmart when I started golfing. I bought a 6 iron from Play It Again for basically nothing. Bought a replacement Ping driver for the Walmart one that cracked for less than 50 bucks at the golf store on the used rack.
I use Nitro balls. I golf for the fun and the exercise.

540XD Taylormade Drivers are excellent Goodwill drivers.
@Hollis
One time the starter told me that a brand new Ping G430 driver was thrown into the woods on hole 14 by an angry golfer who couldn’t find it. He said no one had found it yet. When I got to the hole I swear I looked for like a half hour and never found it. I wonder if I got punked…
@Hollis
I don’t need to know about your mate hitting his shaft well while he is relieving himself.

I found a M6 head with about 4" of shaft left in it about 3.5 years ago. It was in the tall grass below an elevated tee box. I was purposely looking for golf balls at the time. Also found a Ping hybrid head in the same area about 2 years ago.
@EagleEye3
Must be an intimidating tee box.
@EagleEye3
Had an M5, best club I’ve hit; sadly the face caved and cracked on the toe. Got a SIM2 Max now and still miss the M5 to be honest.
@EagleEye3
M6 was a great driver. Did you use it?
Nope. Just put it in my trash can, I’ll take care of it for you.
