Deal or no deal?

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

Went to the range earlier, wanted to test a few 3 woods as mines so old, my local range has an AG next to it and they sort you out a bucket of balls to test their gear out on (bonus)
I also asked one of the staff if I could try a few drivers out, and he said he'd bring a selection up that he thought I'd like. Didn't get on with any of the 3 woods, so when the drivers arrived I got on them.
Cobra s3 max felt horrible and sort of wooden at impact, tried a burner but the head was ridiculously large and felt too light, then I tried a callaway hawk razr. What a club! Easily an extra 20 yards over mine and consistently better too.
That's when he told me how much they were, he then got on a smart phone and price matched to £235. I asked him if they would sell the demo as it was in good nick, and after a good haggle I got his manager down from £180 to £150.

Does anyone else think this is a result, or should I swerve it?

Got the green light off HID so was gonna pick it up tomorrow

Sounds like good deal to me!

Especially if you are hitting it well already!

just looked on ebay and the lowest was at £150 but only a couple, the rest are around 189 so a decent deal

Sounds like a decent deal. If you're happy then go for it. You can always find it a new home on flea-bay if you find you can't use it

Thats a very good deal. I only got a fiver off my Razr Hawk when I brought it back in September. With the new model out next month they were probaly willing to move that bit more.

That was my thinking, plus I dont think I'm good enough to pay top whack for a new driver yet.


Oddsocks no mate, world of golf on the A20. Only telling you because I made sure they took it out back and hid it for me

 

[Oddsocks]

Not in the market for a new driver yet so your hawk is safe

 

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

Looks like I'l have a cobra hs9 up in the for sale section soon

Callaway Razr Hawk driver had the same effect on me. At least 15 yards further and straighter than my G15 and with a better trajectory. Pity, because the Ping felt so much nicer to use but you can't argue with the results.

Any chance you could loan it for a game first. Drivers tend to have a tendency to love you the first time you try them on the range then become all PMT/VPL when you buy them and get on the course. Bit like Women really.

Tried the Razr Fit at Wentworth (courtesy of GM) after the TM fitting day and I have to say that it was fantastic. It was set to neutral so I assume it will be similar overall to the Razr Hawk if unadjusted.

A that price I would say go for it.

No chance of that from AG, tried last summer when trying to pick my irons.

As a few have said, if I end up dis liking it I can always sell it on, could even get a small profit, probably stick it on here at the same price I paid though, let one of you lot have a bargain.

Decided i'm going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon, and ponce another bucket of balls off em for the range and give it a good breaking in, playing Sunday morning and my playing partner is after testing out my cobra. He's got a burner 2.0 and hisdriving is the only part of his game he really struggles with.

Good shop that AG - I too got a hawk razr from them for just £120. They said they were supposed to be keeping it for someone but didn't think they'd be back...

Noooooooooooo!

Good bunch of blokes in there though I must say, practically give you a free lesson sometimes when you're testing out some kit.

Definitely a decent bunch - tried five drivers in there last time and they kept giving me more balls to try with. And I doubt they would have been too fazed if I didn't choose any of them. But I did pick a very nice Cleveland Launcher.
