Seriously though there are not any on there at the moment at that price as I buy last seasons model/colour so it will be around October before anymore are listed I think.I buy 12 and it costs me £72 but they last me right through the season and beyond sometimes. I will try and find the sellers name for you.

You did not cause a stir, it was right on! I absolutely love that you play with low budget clubs to such a high standard. I went to sports direct to have a look at them after I had read the post. They are hideous and that just makes it even better! I almost want a set.

I've got a Dunlop driver (Qube I think) which my brother gave me as he couldn't get on with it. I know why too. The shaft is make from a substance not unlike licorice.
Dunlop clothing is fine for a budget golfer (such as myself).A shirt, trousers and waterproofs can all be had for under £40 and I couldn't care much for paying £30 to buy just one 'branded' shirt etc. Their actual hardware on the other hand seems to be tosh. I may buy a wedge from them just to see how I get on with it before investing in something proper.
On the other hand (no pun intended) I find the gloves in SD are reasonable. Bought an all weather Srixon somethingorother for £4 and it's done 5 or 6 rounds as well as a few range sessions so far. Best wearing glove I've ever had.

Well said Rich.
I have a quiet wee smile to myself when a high handicapper who hits on average 4 fairways a round spends £400 on a driver that has fade /draw weighting.
It's the kings new clothes stuff. [Isn't he grand Isn't he fine ... no he is naked]

Its not always as black and white as you make it out to be though.... While I have made my love of this post clear if a crap golfer can afford good kit there is no reason not to get it. My father got himself a £1500 mountain bike but hes not going to be joining the downhill crew, hes old, fat and wealthy, why not have nice things.

Dunlop golf trousers are quality, they do not fade after being washed and you dont have to iron them, think they were about £9 each in black, grey and blue

Can't wait to see Mike tee it up sporting some lurid green trews :fore:
Also, it's posts like the first couple of responses that make folk think that this forum (and golf in general) is full of complete willies. It really was uncalled for.
And it contained spelling mistakes

I had a couple of Dunlop wedges in my half set up in Scotland and they were fine,on the other hand I also had a putter and the face insert fell out so I had to putt with my 3 wood. Glad to see them making better kit though,Dunlop are a huge company,do they not own Srixon/Cleveland as well?

I had a go with the NZ9 driver at the belfry last week, I hit approx 35 different drivers that day and by far the biggest shock was the dunlop. It was so forgiving and consistant. OK it was approx 30yrds shorter than an R11s, but for the price gulf and the fact all 7 shots i hit with the dunlop were all very consistantly straight, it should not be overlooked!! OK would i buy one? probably not, because i am an idiot when it comes to brands etc. but it really did perform very very well!!! 220yrds every time down the middle of the fairway, you could do a lot worse!!

Wow, i got someone to actually look at them!:cheers:
Sure, there not the prettiest things to look at but there not massively offset and sits well behind the ball. 3-PW will set you back £56, not much more than a dozen pro V1's and i thought its worth a punt, and i haven't looked back.
I also Think that there new stock grips , Gecko Tak , are superb . they used the technology first in there tennis/squash rackets line, which they are more renowned for though the industry.
allthough i may draw the line at a pair of Pink Dunlop Trousers................
.............well, maybe not lol :thup:

Might try a TP12 wedge, gotta be worth it for the True Temper shaft alone 
I have a bit of Dunlop clothing already, gloves are pretty good (and I bought 6/7 last year when they were selling off the tour leather ones for about £2 each). Just picked up some more trousers (pinstripes), already have a few of the shirts and may pick up a few of the new season shirts too (although the logo is a bit loud on the new stuff), they look a lot more like the DC and LW kit now.

One of the lads I work with bought a Dunlop Tour set from SD and while giving him a few tips on the range i hit the irons and the hybrids. They were very easy to hit, got the ball up in the air and distance was good. Basically they did everything you could have asked for and at £8 a club could not be faulted.
A while ago when visiting family up North I bought a Dunlop Loco Driver for £12 to go with the old Hippo irons and MacGreggor fairways I started playing with 10 yrs ago, (I leave them in my brother inlaws garage so I don't need to put a set in the car when travelling up). It doesn't hit the ball as far as my Nike VR Pro but it still allows me to achieve a good distance often out driving my friends with state of the art clubs. It's good for banter and friendly rivaly and for somebody just taking up the game they represent very good value for money.

Youre happy that 12 gloves last you right through the season!?? TWELVE! Thats one a month man, what, do you have acid for sweat or something??
Thats ridicuous, surely 12 should last you around 6 years!?? I wouldnt be buying them again in a hurry if you only get a months wear out of a glove! Have a look around, some good gloves out there. I think my latest one is an FJ from sports direct for less than a tenner. I bought it towards the end of last year I think. I'll get another one to use while this one dries out if it gets wet and throw away my current spare, which I bought about 15 months ago.

well , having created a bit of a fuss with my response on page one, i thought it would only be right i wrote a review on it, as i have now tried it.
Looks -- Very nice indeed for a "dunlop". its smart, sits very well if slightly shut at address. the areoskin anti-glare works well and the Gecko Tak grip is very nice indeed to hold. Only let down is the headcover does look a bit naff, to be fair , but that isnt too important.
Performance -- I took out of the shop a Taylor Made RBZ, 10deg, S (same spec as dunlop) to compare it. and being brutally honest, the RBZ did fly further, but only by 5-10yrds avr. I put that down the the RBZ having a far better stock shaft (The dunlop has a Old school Grafalloy prolite "esque" shaft in it), thus making it fly a bit higher. **out of interest, i was far more accurate with these 2 over my 975j**
Would i pay an extra £150 or so for the Taylor Made????, Not a chance and if i had to pick one based on performance and price , it would be the Dunlop NZ-9 (and no, im not saying it just because i have Dunlop irons, wedges and putter in the bag, if it was utter sh1te , then i would say so)
Let Downs --- Loft & Shaft Options. I feel only being able to get it in 10deg is poor. I hope they at least add an 9 degree option, and for me, once that is out, then it is in the bag, no question. for those who need the height and distance, it is perfect. but with soft shaft and loft, for me , it flies far too high and into the wind it would be like hitting a hard wedge!!!
While having a Grafalloy in it is a good sales pitch, the shaft they are using is dated and should have paid the extra and fitted at least the "pro-launch blue classic". serious golfers would stump an extra 10-15 quid in the RRP (Still below £100!) for it and it will definitely give the driver more "umph"
Overview -- A Good first attempt at a mid-priced driver, but with better loft and shaft options, this could me much , much better.

Sounds pretty good Richard....
Even if you bought one and then changed the shaft its still a steal!

changing the shaft is something i thought about. Shoving Bubba's Pink Bi-Matrix shaft in there would just be immense , but it's just the 10deg of loft that is keep my card in the wallet..........................................for now!!
