Not technically a "bought today," but I did want to make a quick post about my new 588 Altitudes that arrived this weekend and plug a fantastic online (and brick and mortar if you're in the Boston area).

I managed to win an eBay auction from 3balls.com for a set of Altitudes (regular graphite shafts; 4-DW). Got what I thought at the time was a pretty good deal on a "like new" set that would scratch two itches in terms of wanting to try out some new tech for my game: hybrid irons and graphite shafts. Well, the clubs arrived on Saturday (unfortunately in the middle of a rainy day), but when I opened them, I realized that my good deal was actually pretty fantastic. All the clubs still had the plastic wrappers on the grips and every iron head (except for the 7 iron) had the plastic on as well. Even the 7 iron had absolutely no marks on the face and looks like it may have been swung and hit a carpeted shop floor once (just had the smallest little mark on the sole). On top of that, the shop is local and while I had to pay shipping through eBay (you don't on their website for orders more that 100 bucks), I won the auction at 8:00 or so on Thursday night; clubs shipped Friday; arrived with Saturday delivery.

3balls.com is (essentially) the online store for Joe & Leigh's Pro Shop at Pine Oaks Golf Course in Easton, Massachusetts (about 25 minutes south of Boston). They do new and used sales online and in store and they run a pretty sizable eBay store where some great deals can be had. I know people have mentioned this site before on THP and part of me hates to let the secret out of the bag a little bit more, but I've had huge success with them over the years and I just wanted to pass this along for anyone here (*cough* *cough*) who likes to try out a bunch of new clubs and be able to get even some of the newest tech at a used price.

I hope you enjoy your new sticks and thanks for the background on 3balls. Over the years I've bought several clubs from 3balls. I'll give them a 2-thumbs-up for value.
 
Actually yesterday, but I picked up 6dz of the Wilson FG Tour balls at Academy for 9.98ea as well as a Datrek travel bag for the THP Sarasota trip and a tee time. It was a good day.
 
Got a beautiful package in the mail yesterday filled with my new Callaway X-Hot iron set. I picked up the 4-PW set (in "very good" condition, which they certainly are) for $315 from Callaway's Pre-Owned store. I was very happy with the quality of the clubs and almost took the day off work to go play.

Also, not today, but last week I got a TM ATV 56 wedge for $60. Now I am looking at some other wedges to fill out my bag.
 
I dont want to make any assumptions on what we are getting in Vegas, so I grabbed another box of B330 so I could make sure to rep Bridgestone and support such an awesome company.
 
I just bought a new putter from Callaway Preowned. Odyssey Protype #2 black, 35 inch. Time for the Tank and the #2 to do battle.
 
One box each of Wilson Duos and Bridgestone Lady Precepts.

Nope! Selling that one is 1000% THE biggest regret that I have of ANY golf equipment moves that I have made. Zero kidding there.
 
You secretive people..

Nate spill the beans

LOL, we both know me too well. Good ideas are rare.

Didn't buy (well traded and paid for shipping) on a SB1 CS CB 39" with green grip and a cover that Mr Higgins will look awesome with this. Likely arrive when I'm in Vegas or very early next week.
