which way to buy clubs

[bigal3639]

hi everyone, i am pretty much new to golf, only been out a few times using my dad's old clubs.  anyway, i've decided to invest in a new driver, but i am on a limited budget.  i have been contemplating two options; buying a cheap new driver (the local sporting goods store has some power bilt drivers for about $60-70), or buying a used one online, but a brand like callaway, taylormade, etc...  what would you guys do? i've been looking at this one http://www.2ndswing.com/p-135721-taylormade-r5-dual-driver-10-5-graphite-regular-right.aspx .  if you guys have an opinion on what i should do or a specific used driver i should look at it, your input would be appreciated.

Sports Authority has cheap ones 40-60$, not top brands for those prices.. but they are available.

That store also has a lot of clearance and formerly used clubs iron sets,[mine does], where you can buy top brands for a cheaper price.

I got my driver, at $99 from Golfsmith. Callaway ft-iz, 9degree, reg flex. Brand new. [recently] love it, and it was down from $399 or something like that. [older model im assuming]

As a new golfer completely.. Don't go all out just yet.. and golfsmith is a pricey place tbh.. but they have some decent prices on used ironsets.

that driver looks nice, how much does it go for? I couldnt find a price on the link.
