    I need a new (used) driver, something fairly new, fairly cheap.

    There's a shit ton on Ebay, recommendations?

    Sports Authority is about to liquidate...Could get a good bargain there once liquidation sales start.

    Check out GolfSmith online too...they usually have some great deals. I always try and go to a store like golf galaxy, or dicks or sports authority to try a few out

    They have been liquidating by me for a couple of months already so stock is really low. They are down to 30-50% off minimum but that is off of high original prices. He might get lucky though.
    Check out Craigslist, can usually find stuff cheaper than Ebay. I see Cobra, Taylormade and Callaway drivers by me for $30-$60. I know when I made my switch years back from a set I bought at a yard sale to my King Cobras it did help my game a bit, I still suck but just not as much.

    Rockbottomgolf.com or hurricanegolf.com

    No other vendor comes close to their pricing.

    The Cobra Amp driver is really low right now <$100
    You won't find a better driver for the money.

    I don't think he was looking for more sources ie ebay has a shit ton. I believe he was hoping for recommendations about the driver itself

    Thank you for the suggestion. I am looking for a driver brand and make, but I always enjoy finding new places to spend my wife's hard earned money. The AMP comes in many colors, is there a difference other than color?

    Nope, just a matter of preference.

    Lighter colors cut down on glare. So the gray finish of the Cobra is perfect to mitigate sun shining back into your face when you are hitting.

    Nice, a golf thread!

    Just played Friday at Cape Cod National and I finally got to use a driver I bought near the end of last season.

    It's the TaylorMade R15 Driver and I hate it.

    I used to hit the TaylorMade RocketBallz and the RocketBallz Stage 2 drivers and I loved them. Hit them a mile and couldn't slice if I tried.

    TaylorMade just came out with 2 or 3 new models this year so even my R15 is obsolete, the RocketBallz must be dirt cheap by now.

    If you can find them online cheap I would definitely give either a try.

    I may go back to one of them myself.

    Have the Rocketballz iron set. Great clubs.

    My co-worker just got the new taylormade MS1 irons. I used them at the range and was hitting the 6 200 on the fly with a draw.

    Highly recommend.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, Bellows, but you kill all the golfers, they're going to lock you up and throw away the key.

    You do get 1 Mulligan per 18 hole round.
