It will be the shaft, it is probably not right for you at all! Sadly on that budget its difficult to get anything good. The best idea would be to spend the cash on lessons and ditch the driver completly. Use a long iron off the tee with your improved swing, I bet your scores will tumble if your driver keeps finding the clag.

I speak from experiece as I used to have a £25 driver, once I learnt how to swing the club I realised even though it said "stiff" on the shaft it was far from it and I had to aim miles left to compensate for the massive fade it usualy gave. The bad shot was the most horrendous hook every. Before I had lessons it was fine but after it was rubbish, mostly because my swing was better. I switched to a steel shafted mizuno driving iron I had and suddenly started finding fairways.

Not long afterwards I bought a driver and then got fitted for the shaft, not long after that I was off 12, just under 18 months after taking up the game properly.

if you can get your hands on one,id recommend a old model taylormade burner.i was fortunate enough to get one from duncan mackie off this forum.
think i only paid around £50 for that its a great club and very forgiving. just a regular shaft,10.5 loft.
im sure someone on here may help you out....

I'm very happy with my MX-17's, if it's £90 for 3-SW in good condition, I'd say that's a good price.

I have had more clubs (especially drivers) than captain caveman!

lessons are the way forward....

I got a cobra HS9 medium swing speed 12*. It's been working very well and much more forgiving than my previous 10.5* driver. Swing slow is the secret with it.

Loft is your friend... Don't dismiss getting an HT/HL version until you gain confidence with the big stick...

If you are interested I have a Cobra L5V with a new purple Golf Pride Multi Comound grip which I will send all in for £50?

Its a 9.5 Deg with a STIFF shaft and fully adjustable if you hit it left or right!!

Let me know

Personally I'd get a better driver first and then invest on the lessons to learn how to use it. Dont think you can go wrong with a TM burner or any Ping driver

 

[kid2]

Or if you can put up with the noise and get one on the cheap a Cobra L4V or L5V are probably the most forgiving driver that you could buy....
Check out the reviews for them.

Got my taylormade burner 2nd hand from American golf, and I love it! Definitely recommend it.

See if you can get hold of a Cobra ZL driver. I think it is a great club with simple adjustability and a good shaft. New ones albeit old stock are available and good for high handicappers.
