Cheap Golf Woods?
Discussion
Hi,
I've been given some nice nike irons and have been slowly learning golf at the driving range. Its now time to pick up some woods, i dont want to spend much, as little as i can really. Ive seen the following, either new or 2nd hand
Dunlop 65i woods set (1,3,5)
Wilson Prostaff woods set (1,3,5)
Which ones should i go for? if not what ones should i be aiming to get for upto £100 (for all free) im willing to look at 2nd hand ones on ebay ect.
Thanks

How good are you?
I play off 24 and have found the best driver for me to be a 12degree Slazenger scorcher 2, very easy to get up in the air and go 250yd regularly, also quite dificult to slice (for me at least!)
I have dunlop max (65i I think) 5 and 3 woods and find I hardly use them, they go OK though i suppose. But my 21 degree cheapy hybrid goes as well as my 5 wood and I'm not a massive hitter with the driver so the 3 wood doesn;t seem to be needed.
I also use Nike irons by the way, and love them.
FYI, the slazzy driver cost me £15, and the 3 & 5 woods were £9.99 each.

Golf is so subjective and down to personal tastes that you really have to work out what suits you best.
I have always had a separate driver to my 3&5 woods
I'm an intermitment player now since no's 1 & 2 of the clan have arrived. I was low twenties, high teens at best but have given up keeping this up to date.
I rarely use my 5 wood as I get equivalent distance and better accuracy from a 4 or 3 iron, I only use it if the ball is lying very well in the first cut of rough as it is less likely to turn the head due to the shape.
The 3 is very rarely used (never of the fairway) and in fact I'm just going to transfer it out of the bag for another wedge or a dedcated driving iron.
The reason is that the a big headed titanum driver at 12 degrees is so much more forgiving than a focused 3 wood off the tee, If I want height rather than range I just tee it up a bit more and put the ball a bit further forward in my stance, then slow the swing down to insure a better level of accuracy.
I really would question ultra cheap stuff as there are so many wonderful drivers available for less than £100 so give them a try, I'm sure your range/course will let you try out a few driver or wood sets and go with what you like rather than just get the cheapest offer on at the moment which will do nothing for your game.
