How much for a broken 9.5 Taylor Made Bubble Shaft Driver?

Question

I lent a 9.5 degree Taylor Made graphite bubble shaft driver to a friend, which he broke. I'm trying to determine a fair price for him to reimburse me. I checked ebay but there wasn't a ton around.

This was one of the original brown headed drivers from some years back. He snapped the shaft, the head *might* be savable. I will let him keep all broken parts as part of the deal.

I was thinking $25, any thoughts?

Answer 1

Did your Mother never tell you that if "YOU LET THEM PLAY WITH IT, They will break it.

The guy you loaned your club to is a hack. He hit the ball with the shaft, completely missing the club face.

Answer 2

if you want to replace the shaft with a steel probly 80-100 dollars graphite 100-110 dollars

Answer 3

I would say around 50 -60

Answer 4

knowing that its a friend, I'd say around 40-50 dollars. Like you said, your not trying to rip him off and since golf clubs decrease rapidly in price with age, that's probably all it'd be worth and fair.

Answer 5

If you have to ask a value on a friend then the friendship is weak! If he is a good friend he would be at the local pro shop replacing with a current model since the other is history. Let this be a lesson to you, if you lend something EXPECT it to be broken. If it is too special to risk it, dont loan it, if not expect it to get broken. $25 goes out the door at the 19th hole in about 10 minutes, a true friendship lasts a lifetime.

Give him a break, drink a beer and man up for a new driver
