Same, accept I don't live in Ohio and I play inexpensive Urethane balls.

Even aside from counterfeit, the market as it speaks to screaming deals are harder to find now.
Not all that many years ago on ebay, Wilson, Bridgstone, Srixon, Cleveland and Mizuno drivers and woods, didn't sell for all that much relative to the major OEMs.
Used to be able to land some fantastic clubs for a great deal because everyone was chasing the Callaway, TM, Ping, Mizuno (irons), and Titleists of the world.
Now, the other brands have leapt into the collective consciousness of shoppers to where prices are somewhat more in line and more costly across the board.
So it sure is harder today to find great deals compared to yesteryear but it's sure possible yet to score great value relative to the current market.
To that, great idea for a thread to help expand one's options.
Absolutely for used, I wasn't clear before as I was thinking along the lines of new.Great deals can easily be had on ebay, especially if you are willing to play clubs that are a few years old. I just looked and my 4 year old Wilson Staff V2 irons and Callaway X2 Hot driver can be had used on ebay for $150 and $50 respectively. I just played 3 rounds in Florida with these and didn’t score any differently than I do with my current clubs. New clubs are fun to have but not necessary if you are on a budget. My index would be no higher if I was still playing my Wilson Staff Pi5’s and Ping G2 driver from 12 years ago.

But yeah, many a newbie friend who was unwilling to get fitted, respectfully tasked me with finding them deals. Happy to oblige. All used, all in great shape, for a fraction the cost of new.
My own son's bag, I put it all together for less than $250, I think it was. The stuff wasn't so old at the time either. TM Rac irons, MacGregor NVG driver and woods, Cleveland RTG wedges, Yes putter.
Even the bag itself, a Sun Mountain stand bag, nearly new, only $40.
