Just bought a TaylorMade R580 for $130, was this a good deal?

Question

Stiff flex, brand new. Good purchase (small budget)?

Answer 1

Long answer:

In my opinion, it really doesn't matter. The reason why I say that is because to a multi-millionaire, the difference between $130 and let's say a good deal, $89 is really an extra digit or extra papers so David, if you're a millionaire, don't worry about how much you paid but pay more attention to how you use the club and how you can improve the game.

The key to my answer has nothing to do with your wealth but rather my question to you is, what is it that you want from TM R580? If you really want a good deal, check out www.rockbottomgolf.com or www.globalgolf.com or even www.golfsmith.com for some of the best online deals. If want to hit straight, far and play better golf, there are many, many more other golf clubs that can do that and cost a fraction of that price. I use a $20 used Cobra driver and a $10 MacGregor used 3-wood. They're both fine.

Short answer:

If you bought it at a golf shop in your city, I say that is a great deal, consider they sell everything above the online competitors but if you bought it online, that's a bit overboard. If you are unsatisfied with it and still have the receipt, return it for a full refund (if it's less than 30 days) or simply exchange it for another one. Again, look into Callaway, Ping, Nike, Cobra, Titleist and my favorite for my budget, MacGregor.

Answer 2

They are 4 years old driver.   I would better get a Nike Sasquatch with the same price.

Answer 3

i just bought the same one a months ago for $120 i should have went for the r7 (only $30 more) but i have been swinging it straight and long so far... so i say yes!

Answer 4

Sounds good to me, alot of sales going on this week.

I just bought a Adams Insight XTD A3OS for 160 (originally $300)

I think now is a great time to buy so dont worry you got a good deal.

Answer 6
