I was in the market for a new fairway wood and bought this Nike T-40 Tour 4 Wood new for $66 on ebay. After one horrendously disappointing range session with it, I removed the stock Nike stiff 43.5" graphite shaft and replaced it with a 42.5" Rifle 6.0 steel shaft. What a difference! Beautiful low-to-mid ball flight with tremendous distance and awesome feel and control. I have always been partial to steel shafts in my fairway woods, but I must say that I am absolutely amazed at the dramatic improvement a premium steel shaft makes with this particular club.
My all-time favorite fairway wood is my Titleist PT 15 (bore-thru model) with a 42.75" Dynamic Gold S300 shaft. In terms of power and control, the Titlesit PT is in a class by itself, but this Nike T-40 Tour 4 wood is now a close second.
At the end of the day, I basically paid $66 plus shipping for the clubhead and then spent another $20 plus shipping for the Rifle shaft and a Golf Pride V-50 full-cord grip. The Nike graphite shaft wound up in the garbage where it belongs, but I've now got a truly first-rate fairway wood and still spent less than $90.
I highly recommend this club, but would urge prospective buyers to avoid the graphite shafted version. Try the stock Nike steel shaft, and if dissatisfied replace it with a Rifle 6.0 and trim it to a finished length of 42.5". You won't be sorry.
