I'm new to the game, but I've been told that as a beginner, I should buy a driver with a higher degree of loft. 13º maybe. Just an idea

In my Warbird Hot:
Driver: Burner 10.5* Reg Flex
3 Wood: Mercury Golf MR Jumbo 16*
Irons: X-20 4-AW
Putter: 33" Rossa FontanaShoes:Footjoy Contour

I second the higher lofted driver. A really good driver to try is the Cobra F Speed 12*. You may also want to look at is the Taylormade R540XD.

You should be able to purchase both used, in good condition, for less than $90.

My vote is for taylormade. They have a lot of different clubs which can be had for cheap, and they perform very well. My r5 is my first "modern" driver, and I've loved it from the first time i hit it.

Were talking Golf here ,the guy is new to the game and wants to form a bond with his new best friend ,His dreams and asperations will depend on wether or not he gells with his new lover,it will be his and his alone. The Macgregor is a good recomendation

I was in the same boat as you a while ago when I first started and I eventually ended up with the Integra Quadratic 10.5*. I find that this loft is more than enough to launch it high. It ended up costing me $110 shipped.

You may want to look at some of the used goods such as the marketplace here, or at the other well known sites such as GolfWRX or Free Golf Info. They have great deals on used equipment and I find it easier than eBay. Component heads are of superb quality, and you shouldn't dismiss them just because they don't market that much. Take a look around for something from Tom Wishon, Geek, Bang, SMT, and Alpha - they all produce great equipment for 1/3 - 1/2 the price of the ones you see in store display.

If you want something name brand, perhaps check out Rock Bottom Golf. They regularly have 10-12% sales, and offer older brand name drivers in the $100 range. I've had my eye on the original Cleveland HiBore there for a while.
