Is it worthwhile buying golf equipment online from the US?

If so what websites would you recommend? Is it cheaper including the taxes.
Best route would be:-
Go to a local reputable Golf Equipment retailer, and get help choosing the best style, design of club/shaft for your style of play, and level of experience.
Go home and search online retailers in the country you live to find the best price around.
Try other retailers worl-wide to see how their prices compare.
Work out if shipping costs will tip the balance.
Buy them from a retailer in your country, coz if they break, or are faulty, it will be much easier to get them replaced/fixed where you live.

you’ll get hammered in import taxes and it will also take time to clear customs. Also as it tends to be heavy shipping will cost a fortune too! It would be cheaper to go there and play a round or 2 with new kit and fly back with it. Then you’d get hit for excess baggage!!
Have you checked amazon for prices? -
practice nets from £20! –

it all depends on the cost.the more exspensive the golf clubs the less chance they will work out cheaper. just remember you have to pay tax twice once in the USA and then again when they come into the country.
bear in mind the weight a full set of golf clubs will be quite heavy and the tranportation cost may well cost more than the clubs. and unless sent by air will take ages to arrive

Ha, no. I live in the US and to get it shipped to you would be ridiculous. Plus, you need to go into a shop and get a good feel for a club, and good height and style.
