Be careful with this, seen a few people being ripped off lately on a couple I go on.

Yes as with every purchase in life that's not from a reputable store, be careful before you part with your money. I have bought off Gumtree, Facebook and eBay and paid total strangers full price up front to post items to me. I've been lucky and only ever been done once and that was on eBay which you would think would be the safest. Always best as to buy face to face if you can.

There are some really good deals around atm. I know clubhouse have the Big Bertha 816 alpha for 149.99, it would be tough to find a used club that is that good value.

Probably not the best driver to suggest to someone starting out. Unless OP is a mid level Handicapper.

I always buy my clubs on ebay, and I made a home made putter with fake grass using free samples works pretty well! You can get the grass here - http://www.fantasticfreebies.co.uk/free-quickgrass-artificial-grass-sample/

Out of interest, how big are the free samples? And which one(s) did you get?

Interested in this as well. The website says that fairway is suited to putting. Would love to know how big they!

which grade of grass did you order?
I have an off cut of fake grass in the garage from where I got the garden landscaped with it

Never used Adams clubs I'll have a look, has anyone used Ben Ross clubs? My club sell Ben Ross, ping and Titleist. Ben Ross seems really reasonable price wise

benross are a very good brand. Lots of reviews online on you tube. they are up there with your pings and titleist however they don't sponsor any tour pros which helps keep costs down

Don't think you could beat a second hand drive ping driver from g5 upwards. Mostly under £100 and all reliable handicap golfers sticks. Ben Ross are decent budget clubs, but if you buy new you'll take a big hit if you try and resell it, whereas a second hand ping will lose almost nothing.
If you use your common sense, eBay is just fine for this sort of thing. For a premium, use sites like affordable golf or golfbidder. Or just wander into your nearest ag, they have an awful lot of second day hand kit to move on.

Benross is great, but the only issue is spin rates on irons arent high. If you are looking at distance, then they are brilliant. I have a benross 3 wood which is fantastic

American golf have some bargains from the double trade in deal, I paid 70 quid for the latest G 3 wood. You'll pick up a g30 driver, TM r15 for around 120
Try Golfbidder and look at the older Ping http://www.golfbidder.co.uk/clubbrand/PI/1/Ping_driver.html?glf=WFJPf1
The plus side is they offer a seven day returns policy

I decided to take a punt on the free samples. I'm awaiting an email reply. Went for the "fairway" named on and the 3 most expensive - figured if i'm getting a free sample, I might as well get my money's worth.

I have a Cobra Bio Cell driver and a Titleist 915 3 Hybrid for sale if you're interested, cost me over £400 new for the pair.

You will pick up a nice G15 for about 40 to 60 quid on eBay. Perfect for what you say your after

Taylormade r9 driver and woods would be a great investment. Easy to hit, still keeps up with the big boys.
On benross, they are great clubs. Very long irons, but strong lofted so basically a 7 iron plays like a 6iron. I think i paid about £270 for mine brand new custom fit. Lovely irons. The hotspeed 3 wood is very good.
