If you're concerned about buying off eBay have a look at Golfbidder as they'll have a decent range.
K15 is on there from £115.00.

Don't make my mistake and buy new and cheap.
Buy quality and second hand. G10 or K15 are perfect ideas. Something equivalent is perfect too.
If you do go new try the new benross drivers or MD, both are cracking VFM!
Regular shaft is fine, swing easy rather than hard for distance. I had a regular shaft as a beginner (when I replaced my cheap driver) and it suited me fine at the beginning and I was in my mid 20s!
Treat yourself to a custom fit £300 driver after you have found your putter etc.

Lots of votes for the K15, anyone know how this compares to the G30 SF TECH as from what I read this is basically it's replacement

It's not exactky like for like but it's the driver that they are using to fill that gap and give people a bit more forgiveness

About £150 and not much difference in performance

This. If Lee Westwood is still gaming (
) the G10, then that £150 can't be giving you much more. G30 looks a lot better though, so depends what you'd prefer. The £150 in your back pocket, or some shiny new Turbulation.

Sounds like a nice series of lessons that!

3 wood.
Welcome to the forum. If you are new to golf, my advice would be to use whatever you have (assuming you have a driver already) and have some lessons to learn how to use it. A much cheaper option than forking out for a brand new model. Once you are happier with how you hit it and get it in play on a regular(ish) basis my advice would simply go out and try as many makes and models as you can. What suits one person won't be what another would choose. No one model or one make fits all

My first driver was a Ping G5 from ebay.
It was fantastic! I replaced it with a titleist 910D2 and regretted it.
Not until I got my current driver did I get back on track.
Second hand is definitely the way to go. I'm still tempted every so often to try and find another G5....
The only other thing I'd consider is a deep faced three wood - SLDR mini driver or alike. Very easy to hit.

A great option and one to remember for the future but not as much fun for a beginner.
