depends on if the club is set up for you or not..your swing dictates what loft and shaft stiffness (ha ha) you need.

Find out what kind of shaft is on it....they are going online used with a Fujikura 64 shaft which is an average stiffness from 123 - 200 bucks depending on condition..

have you hit it? Does it work for you? If so and the shaft is good and the condition is excellent then yeah it's a decent deal considering you aren't paying shipping....are you?

I swung it yesterday out at the range here on PAX, and I did buy it yesterday, it has a reg. flex shaft on it(don't remember the name, but its's in the truck right now, I'll go look here in a little while), and I could actually control my drives about 50x's better than before, I had a "biggest bertha", and it had an X-flex shaft (yes I know that's for "old" people and women ) but I wasn't swinging hard, and was happy with a 175-200yd drive at the time....bought that used for like 40 bucks, so I finally got a new one, the 460. At the range yesterday I was probably averaging around 250ish with it with a very slight fade, and I was very happy and content with that.

First time out for the year, all I've been told so far is stay in the fairway

...especially on the "British Open" holes. Watch out for the pot bunkers on the blind tee shot.

I'm looking at a Cleveland Hibore XLS draw version. Anybody swung one of those?
