Not sure I agree with the "good secondhand clubs" theory.

When I started playing 15 years ago, I needed all the money I had on lessons and developing technique.

A point proved when my local pro can hit the ball just as well with my new and old set............ and my old set is OLD!

Buy a recognised make IMO and get something that will fit you - nothing worse than people buying the wrong club, and then thinking they have to adjust their game to suit, when they should have just bought the right set in the first place.
