I had the graphite shaft of my driver replaced in a golf shop in St Andrews. It cost £50. That seems a LOT!!!

Question

I am sure Shankste is correct. I played with it on the Old Course this morning in a gale and it really worked well. Certainly worth every penny!

Answer 1

shafts can certainly cost alot. im pretty sure tiger uses like an $800 graffaloy prototype shaft

Answer 2

Ok I am not a good golfer, but it just makes sense to shop around and compare prices on your repair, before you feel that your over charged. Its called a good consumer!!! But most men don't want to take the time to get the best price and just pay whatever the bill is and be done with it!!!

Answer 3

Those scotts seen you comin!

Answer 4

What kind of graphite shaft did you replace it with?  The shaft is what cost the most, the labor was not that much.

Answer 5

The problem is that most people just don't realise how much difference certain shafts make to a person's game.  If £50 makes you strike the ball better and get improved results then its worthwhile.

You can spend £300 on a driver and still hit a frying pan better.  Thats the way golf is !

Answer 6

I would say that the shaft was priced right. My shaft for the Fti i bought (Penley, Caliente x-stiff) was $120USD. With the conversion, id say you got a good deal.

Another thought is that items always cost more at the event. Have you ever bought food at a major sporting event? St. Andrews is the most known golf course around the world. So i'd bet if you bought the shaft elsewhere it would have been cheaper.

Answer 7

Aldila NV costs about $80 USD, even some costs more around $180 USD.

Answer 8

you paid a lot becouse of where you had it done

Answer 9

not alot of money some of the shafts on the tour players drivers are worth a grand .-thats alot
