    Cheapest way is to wait for peter or smhark to have a bad round and they will be looking to but new ones again, you can pick up the ones they are binning !

    I got a great set of brand new Cleveland's off e-bay last year for €300.The same set in McGuirks were €600. They came from a crowd called IREGOLF. I think they were based in Cork cos i had them within a couple of days.

    Con, they send them as a sample or gift that gets them by having to charge vat or import duty. Well that's what I was told when buying mine!

    They are very cheap on most sites, but when they arrive they most come from china. My set are the Dogs Boll** and were alot cheaper than buying here

    There is a golf shop at the Spawell driving range in Templeogue. The guy will tape up a few clubs for you and let you hit them on the range. Getting to hit a few balls with a club is important before you buy. He has a great selection of new and used gear.

    Just be wary of knock offs from China.

    A friend of my mine said he was told in future to put it down as a birthday gift if he wanted to avoid those costs. That was by the guy who delivered the stuff to him.

    I'd know the real things when I see them, thats why I 'd only buy from a recommended seller on e-bay, and if you buy something thats not the real thing you have comeback where as with some of these other sites I'd say you would be left with stuff. There is a lot of knocks off going around alright but you can usually spot them if you know where to look.

    Anyone bought clubs in the states before?

    Heading over in June, want to get a set and have them shipped over. Anyone know the pros and cons?

    Thanks in advance,
    Bob
