Miser gets shoddy sports equipment (10)
I believe the answer is:
cheapskate
'miser' is the definition.
(cheapskate is a kind of miser)
'shoddy sports equipment' is the wordplay.
'shoddy' becomes 'cheap' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sports equipment' becomes 'skate' (skate is a kind of sports equipment).
'cheap'+'skate'='CHEAPSKATE'
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cheapskate that I've seen before include "Mean person" , "Scrooge" , "Miserly type" , "Mean type" , "Miserly person" .)
