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.

      That is a bit hyperbolic, I think. Most despicable is a bit much.  Again, a bit over the top here.  Most athletes are probably closer to being normal human beings than degenerates and avaricious scum.  Just sounds like you want to generalize all athletes because it is easy to do so. Hey, generalizing a subset of a population is entirely a human thing to do.

      This is so awesome; my two biggest lifetime hero and the biggest superstars of the past 35 years in golf……both turned out to be the two of the most despicable human beings in professional sports… Between this and everyone whoring themselves out for Saudi Arabia… Used to love golf because I thought they were smarter, better people than the other sports. Turns out a huge percentage of them are total degenerates and avaricious scum like every other sport!

      This isn't going to show you lateral dispersion at all. It's basically just a radar (for speed) launch monitor. It doesn't measure spin or anything like that. Not even launch direction.
