Yes. Top notch
Best used drivers which are forgiving for under £100?

The premium is the grading of the clubs and customer service, of which eBay has none.
Only you can determine if the eBay risk is acceptable, which in my experience it has been.

I bought a hybrid from golfbidder, which seemed a reasonable price .. there or thereabouts compared to ebay, got to try it at home ... but in the end did not quite suit .... the only problem with golfbidder, is they do charge £7.99 return fee which is then taken off your refund
Disagree. Have used them loads of time and the information is far more honest and accurate than anything on e-bay. Also I have bought clubs including a hybrid that were actually still in the hybrid and unused. Add in the return policy (granted there's postage to pay) and it seems a very simple was of getting quality 2nd hand clubs and a massive choice to suit all pockets

Well he's not wrong, they are definitely more expensive. Agree that their clubs are often better condition than you expect from the descriptions. But Jacko is correct that you will definitely get what you want cheaper on ebay as long as someone has it for sale. It's up to you if you want to pay like 40 quid more just for a bit more peace of mind. I've bought stuff from Golfbidder before, usually only when I couldn't find what I wanted on ebay though.

I've bought countless clubs off ebay. Always much cheaper than the likes of golf bidder. My eyes do the grading. If it doesn't look in good nick then I wont buy it. Blurry photos. No ta.

Exactly, it's a bit more of a risk but a calculated one as long as you're sensible. Granted once in a blue moon you may get a fake club and have no idea I suppose.

Seller with 0 stars - pass
Seller with 500 stars - I'll go for that

If by chance you get a fake club on Ebay, buyers are well protected and you just send the club back and get a refund.

I recently bought the m2 driver (first version rather than the newer one) and love it. I had a Nike vrs before that and feel much more confident with the m2.
Bought it off eBay for £120, very good condition, the crown is immaculate.

They have some second hand clubs at the same price you can buy new at present.
I'll stick to ebay and return through ebay knowing I am covered by ebay.

I personally wouldn't have any clue that I had a fake club in my hand though.
I'd probably just use it, and if it was no good I'd sell it on again. Wouldn't occur to me to get it checked by someone.

On the golfbidder thing, have a look at golfclubs4cash, much better pricing and excellent service and quality.

Ebay or facebook marketplace or on here. I'm in the M2 or Ping camp too.

I've actually bought from them before via ebay because they sell on there.

Anyone tried one of the ping g20 -30 drivers and the taylormade M2 to compare?

I'm sure you'll be fine with a ping, but you may want to consider something with a bit of adjustability and being able to swap/change shafts.
