Default How much is an hour of your time worth?? (North Texas promo)
Let me start by saying that I have *NO* affiliation with the group that is making this offer, but when I was contacted about it I thought I'd share the offer to anyone else that might interested....

I'm sure we've all seen the 'visit a time share / private property and receive a free set of golf clubs offer'....but I attended the Texas Home & Garden Show in Fort Worth (don't ask...I sucked it up and went for the wife) and there was a booth that had Rocketballz clubs on display. Of course I was intrigued, so I asked if they were giving them away. They said not at this time but that they did have a golf club promo for visitors to the location in Brownwood, Texas. They took my info and said they'd call. That was over a month ago....and then I got a call last night.

Essentially you visit their undeveloped property via a tour which takes an hour and then you get a FREE Rocketballz driver!! I asked if it was a stiff shaft and was told that it was. Ok, I'm a sucker, but an hour of my time is worth a new driver....that I don't need....but will gladly take!

All I can say is.....BE STRONG MY MAN! They are good at what they do when they start hard selling you. Just node your head and keep your eye on the prize, RBZ is the goal not a time share or a portion.

Trust me when I tell you these guys will double and triple team you to get the sale. The ware you down. It's also going to be longer than an hour and half. Don't sign anything!!!!

Good luck!

I'd do it for sure. Only negative would be if I had to drive a long distance.

I ain't signing jack and the wife always defers to me anyway....so we are locked tight on that. I have no problem telling them from the start that I'm there for the driver and won't be signing or agreeing to anything....so go thru the motions and hand over the stick.

Anyone have a RBZ driver yet? Thoughts? I love my TP SF 2.0 and I've only had it about 2 months. Hitting bombs with it and love the consistent slight fade I have now....no interest in changing out, even for the RBZ driver.

I will be the contrarian. I did this once in Mexico in order to play an expensive course. I regretted it. I am a very firm "No" kind of person so I was never tempted to give in but you have to remember they aren't giving this stuff away for free. Expect more than an hour of being pressured by the worst car salesman type person imaginable. If this place is remote you are going to have a hard time leaving and getting out of there.

I'm more than ready for this....I work for Mercedes-Benz, so I've seen (and done) some of the best sales pitches imaginable. I know it'll take more than an hour, but nothing deflates a salesrep quicker than the guy that doesn't say much and doesn't give you much to work with. The other is being "sick" and having the annoying cough. Salesreps can't afford to be sick, especially the one's that work on commission, so they'll be happy to move you right on thru... I won't be rude, but it ain't gonna be a fun ride either.

haha I think this is real close on the scale of worthiness. Please update with a trip report after you get the driver though!

Do you mind spending two hours and sending me the other driver? You can sell it to me for half price. Haha

I did an hour for a timeshare in Hawai'i for a 4 person catamaran ride voucher. (It was a big catamaran, held probably 20 people or so.)

An hour for a $140 ride was worth it.

Re-reading that I'd like to amend my statement - it isn't the person it is the experience. When you buy a car you know what to expect but you can always bail on the dealership because you know there are others. In this case you have to put in your time to get your prize so they've got you. Anyway, to each their own, it is a nice driver
