Off Topic THE OLYMPICS IN TOKYO

Feck it..buy some cheap stuff until you are sure you're there to stay. It's what I've done with golf...Wasn't spending 300 a club to ruin them. Slowly upgrading all the gear as I get better.

yeah guess thats the most economical way, i have some tennis stuff that if i could sell would give me some decent spare cash for that, there's probably some sites selling used kit and ebay of course
 
Stick and astros, clubs tend to have team kits these days.

Can get some really good deals on sticks and astros through the internet, look at Barringtons, any stick between £50-100 is good and will last 3-4 seasons and IMO adidas are making the best hockey astros these days (although don't buy there sticks, ****). Biggest out lay will probably club membership and match fees.

adidas have always been ****e for anything but clothing and shoes etc ... rackets sticks etc, just do not touch them, they're junk you're right
 
And I'm sure unlike my day sticks don't wear down as quick as on gravel...(looks at the straight things he's got in shed...no I'm a hoarder..I didn't throw them out...still got a grands worth of climbing gear too...which is a disgrace as I won't climb again either..going to give it to uni club...honestly...:emoticon-0126-nerd:)

don't even want to think about the money i burned on tennis and squash stuff over the years, mostly racquets are the costly thing, then shoes and bags, clothing tends to last the longest and a while and when it's a bit past its best you can just stick it on for the gym till its falling off

it's just guys, we're gearheads in everything

Yeah...I literally cried when after 4 cheap cues that survived I got the perfect pool cue hand made for me by a barman that got into making them...I won trophies because of him and his cue. Literally looked me up and down watched me play a frame and came back 3 weeks later with the perfect cue. It broke....I cried...worse he died...lots of guys in our area cried at that...he should have made a **** load of money making them. ..and he charged a fifth of what established cue makers charged...
