  I have been looking for a Driver to complete my set of clubs, but I am having quite a bit of trouble finding what I want, because I am left-handed. All the shops I went to had a dismal range of left-handed clubs in stock. One of them even told me that I would have to pay about 20% extra, and order it!
  I cannot think of any other sports equiptment that a left hander needs purpose built, eg: snooker cues, cricket bats, tennis racquets etc. But unfortunately I do need purpose built clubs. Why should left-handed players have a restricted choice of clubs and be expected to pay extra?
 Are there any lefties out there who have had a similar experience, or can tell me where I can get clubs without discrimination.
  I'm sure Phil Mickleson doesn't have this trouble!

I can see no reason for any golf equiment manufacturer charging more for left handed equipment.

So my best bet would be to shop around and find a shop that wants to do business with you.

Good luck with your search.

do you have problems slicing or hooking at all?

Hi. Yes I do slice quite a lot but I don't think it has anything  to do with being left handed, more to do with not being set up properly.
