Another driver question

[TheMetalMan0]

Hi guys, I'm currently using a cheapy Dunlop driver while I get used to using a driver and getting my swing settled, but am starting to get more consistent and so think a new one will help get me a bit more distance and a better feel.
My main question is, would it be worth getting something like this or is it going to be about the same quality as a Dunlop. Or whether to put the money towards one of the big brands like TaylorMade or Ping.
I realise this is a how long is a piece of string question but wondered if anyone has any experience of these 'mid' range clubs.

I'd go for a better known brand, how about looking out for something sechand.

check out your local pro shops i often see bargins.

If money is tight buy a second hand driver, or Ben Sayers / MD golf are the budget end but great quality golf gear.

Have a look on golfbidder mate

Cheers guys. Looks like I might as well just go straight in with one of the better brands then. Will have a look on golfbidder now and see what they have.
Any recommendations around the £100 mark?
Thanks again.

I bought my Old man a Benross VX Proto with and Aldila Voodoo shaft and got it for £50 brand new on Ebay, great club and looks good too. For the money you cant go wrong!

Have a look on Gumtree Essex. There is a guy selling a Callaway Diablo in mint condition for 60 quid...!!!

Pros hate getting stuck with random clubs on trade-ins, so will be grateful to you for takign it off their hands! Deffo think a 2nd hand online or pro-shop trade-in is the way to go. For £40, you'd get a much better quality club.

or put another 30 quid to your budget in two weeks and you can buy my 2 month old Ping g15.

£39.99 isn't really mid-range. I bought a driver that price once and regretted it. Total waste of money. I'd go as far to say that Dunlops from Sports Direct are actually better quality.

I sold my Wilson Spine last week for £35. They were £199 new, I got it when they were £99. There's loads of clubs out there for silly money.

american golf knocking out the cleveland launcher dst for 90quid


disclaimer i have no idea what its like

 

[TheMetalMan0]

Thanks for the advice guys. Look like it may be worth sticking with the Dunlop and going for one of the better brands rather than waste 40 quid on another crap one.
Now - which to buy Will pop to American Golf at some point and try the Cleveland and 2010 Superfast I think.

Ooo may be interested in that. Any reason you're getting rid?
