I have a sale pending on my I3's for $250.

I'm getting the G5's for $380.

So, technically, I'm out $100. But it would have cost me $100 to regrip my I3's and have them bent to 2.5*, so I can justify it. Still no more out of pocket than what I would have spent to prepare for the season.

Ebay is your friend, if you know what you're looking for.
Sounds like you got hooked up. Best thing is, you got fitted and upgraded for next to nothing. I am 2* upright, it amazes me that people spend the amount of money that they do, but never get fitted. It defiantly can make a HUGE improvement in your game.

Regriping, if you ever decide to do it, is a breeze. I can walk you through it, if you ever decide to do something. I am always regriping something it seems.

Update on the MX-19 Irons: Would be a great game improvement iron, to big of a head and cavity for my liking, but I hit them and they feel great. Guess I will play them for a bit and see, I already have them sold if I decide to go another direction.
