Re: Big brand equipment

Hi Slater

Custom made clubs is an option. I know from your experience you would recommend this.

I was talking to a sales assistant in a golf store a while back, he put me onto to some Cleveland golf clubs, have to say they are nice and would cost about £400. The sales assistant told me that Nike clubs and Taylor Made clubs and other "big brands" are expensive because you are basically paying for the advertising and sponsoring of players. Nike pay Tiger Woods a fortune so thay have to get their money in somehow.

There are some good sets on Ebay at the moment. £290 for a set Of Taylor Made RACs LTs. American Golf they are £499! Only thing that worries me buying off Ebay is the authenticity of the clubs, plus not having chance to have a bat with them.
