Well I told you I was worse than G1BBO! Purchased a new epic shaft from the states for my 3 wood v steel,somehow a 4h Rescue 11 slipped in! Shceduled to arrive on Friday,thing is I have absolutley no intention of dropping my 4 iron as i love it. Should have really put a 3h in and had a shoot out with the 5w!
So keep your eyes peeled for a rescue 11 4h in classified and a refurbed 5 wood lol!
Anyone else bought stuff online they have instantly regreted?

I've got a 4 rescue 11 as a 3 iron replacement. I didn't get a 3 iron with my set and later went and had a monitor session for something as a 3 iron alternative. Got the best results with the rescue 11 and the 4 rescue is a comfortable club longer than my 4 iron.

yep i did it this weekend

i bought a titleist d3 driver, i already have a d2.

a recent fitting showed i can eek out a few more yards from a smaller headed low spinning driver,

but what is the point if i can't hit my current driver straight consistently

and when i do hit it ok, i average 240-50 anyway, which is fine i think

should have saved my money

Yes and No :mad:

Ian Poluter IJP Purple Tartan Trousers.

Yes - I regretted after I brought them due to a) Price and b) They're a bit loud

No - They are the best troos I have! And look the business too!

I would echo this, my rescue11/4h is a comfortable club longer than my 4i.....and yes, given it's a Shewy thread, my rescue 11/3h is a good 15 (or more) longer still!

Nearly bought a TM R11S (Yes its not the latest driver on the market, but I don't have £200+ to spend, and are the latest THAT much different?!), as I feel I may be losing some distance with my TM Tour Burner, and the shot dispersion is all over the place. Tried it on the range, but couldn't see all of them because of the funny light with the cloud cover resulted in me losing the flight of the ball. The ones I did see were all great flight, long and straight, and the club felt solid during the swing, though a fair bit heavier than my Tour Burner. Was very close to making the purchase but thought I should try it again when I can see every shot!

My Titleist 910 19*H that pretty much just gets carried round the course each round, and my Scotty Cameron Hollywood putter that I loved its looks and never use it- madness

I suppose it wasnt an instant regret so maybe not bang on with the OP

Problem is if I hit it it's not new and resale value drops, got a great deal mind and was really only after the shaft.
I blame TM for jacking the lofts! The 4 iron is a beast (for me anyways).
Ah well a fool and his money

there's such a huge SH market in the Rescue11's that it's not going to make much difference - or to put it another way, no-one's going to pay a premium for a new one over an imaculate 'as new' SH one.

My Nike VR 2H when i bought it though this is the dogs danglies and looks the nuts. Its now the least used club in my bag and is just carried around for sake of it. Rarely ever gets an outing in the last 10 rounds I've used it a grand total of never!

So its going up for sale on here this week.

I walked out the shop with a 4 wood xhot pro, I went in for something like a 3+ for off the tee. This however did generate the numbers I was looking for .. And is quite nice :)

I pretty much always have the feeling of guilt when I order something, but not often do I regret it when it arrives.

Apart from putters. I'm a nightmare with putters.
I've just ordered another one this morning, a Mizuno MP-T103. I am beyond help!

Fantastic club, I've had mine for about 3 months.
It's so good I'm tempted to get a 13.5 3 wood for the tee, but I'd always be thinking it'll go further with a driver!

Funny you say that, I am looking at the driver, I know it won't be much longer than what I have. But this club looks great at address and really dials into the big Bertha thing... Still have my great big Bertha.
the other day I was just trying it off the tee and cleaned one out past the driver, think the launch conditions were just better.
my wife thinks I am having a clear out, cannot tell her that I am just going to get another club.
