10 top models to hunt on the UK used market — all originally retailed above £300, all regularly found used for under £150 in excellent condition.
The used driver market is one of golf's best-kept secrets. A driver that launched at £449 three or four years ago has lost more than half its value on the secondary market — yet on the course it performs almost identically. The models below were all originally priced between £299 and £449, making them strong candidates to find on UK eBay for under £150 today, often in very good or excellent condition with fewer than 20 rounds of use.
We track live eBay sold listings for all of these models. Prices fluctuate week to week, but the models listed here consistently show up in the £80–£140 range for used examples in good shape — shaft included. That's extraordinary value for technology that can add real distance and consistency to your game.
Buying a used driver is simple if you know what to check. Here's what to inspect before committing to a purchase on eBay:
Most used drivers come fitted with the stock shaft — typically 50–60g in regular or stiff flex. As a general rule: if your driver swing speed is below 85mph, look for regular flex; 85–100mph suits stiff; above 100mph consider extra-stiff. Many of the Ping G400 listings come with Fujikura Pro 60 shafts — these are genuinely good shafts worth keeping.
If forgiveness is your priority, the Ping G400 Max and Ping G425 Max remain benchmarks. Ping's Max heads are specifically engineered for maximum MOI — the G425 Max features a tungsten rear weight and a dragonfly crown to position mass as far back and wide as possible. Used G425 Max drivers regularly appear for £130–£160, making this the best forgiving driver you can buy for the budget.
For golfers who slice, the Callaway Epic Max uses an ultra-draw biased jailbreak system. The internal weight bar is positioned to promote an in-to-out swing path correction. It won't fix a severe slice, but it consistently reduces side spin for mid-handicappers who fade the ball.
The TaylorMade M6 remains one of the fastest used drivers available at this price point. The Speed Injected Twist Face — where each head is individually injected with resin to bring the face to the legal limit — produces remarkable ball speed even on off-centre contact. Pair it with a regular flex shaft (most come with Fujikura Atmos Orange) and you have a genuinely fast driver for under £100.
The TaylorMade SIM2 brings the inertia generator — a 46g carbon bar behind the face — which significantly reduces twisting on mis-hits. At 2021 launch prices of £529, used SIM2 drivers in very good condition at £120–£150 are exceptional value.
The 15 models above span 2017–2022 and collectively represent the best of each major brand at the under-£150 used price point. The older models (2017–2019) offer the best pure value — Ping G400 range and TaylorMade M-series — while the 2021–2022 additions bring modern carbon technology at prices that have recently dropped within budget. The Ping G400 range in particular remains one of the most recommended used driver purchases in the UK.
