Buy a used set of Ping Zings on line at E-bay.  They are a good quality club and easy to hit.  See the link below.\nhttp://sporting-goods.search.ebay.com/ping_Clubs_W0QQsacatZ115280\n\nFirst though, go to the Ping website (see link) and find out what color code club is best for your size.\nhttp://www.pinggolf.com/flash/webfit.html\n\nHave fun!

I'd suggest buying a used set, that way you'll get more for your money.  Start with the yellow pages and place a few calls to see what your local area offers.  Either try eBay, Play-it-Again-Sports, your local Golf Discount, yard/estate sales and even some Pro Shops have previously owned clubs.  If you want "New", most manufacturers make a cheap set.  Just remember, you get what you pay for.  \nI personally like the Titleist clubs but you might enjoy Callaway, Ping, Wilson, and many others.

Go to yahoo or google and type in "custom golf clone"\nYou can get clone clubs that are just as good as their counterparts for 1/4 of the price. Plus you get it custom fitted.

I am a golf pro and I have the pleasure of trying alot of equipment.\n\nTrust me when I say this, the Nike SQ 3 wood off the deck is the straightest 3 wood on the market.  Comes out a little low and HOT.  The 5 wood is only 3 degrees different if you want something higher, almost the same distance.  \n\nThose rescues are not the best off the deck, but you will find them better than a 3 wood out of the junk or a fairway bunker.\n\nLets have a game sometime at Bushwood with Doctor Beeper!

A good club for one person may not be for another.  Picking out golf clubs, you have to consider how much you play, your budget, and what you like.  The best thing to do is try out as many as you can.  Go to Demo days and have someone fit you for clubs.  Now since you already have them, who cares what anyone else thinks.  The only  thing that matters is how you hit them and if your happy.  Now if your having trouble with them go to www.playgolfamerica.com and sign up for a free golf lesson with a local PGA pro.

There is an ebay type web site called www.golfclubexchange.com.  New and used gear of every type.\n\nAs far as quality brands to look for, Mizuno MX series are a nice oversized cast cavity back with a decent offset to assist a high handicapper with keeping the ball in play.  Nicklaus golf has some less expensive sticks that hit well too.\n\nMostly you just need to get into the shops and swing everything that you can get your hands on.  you'll find one or two brands that feel better than all the others and those are what you need to buy.  So much of the game of golf is mental, so finding a set of clubs that feel good and look good at address will definately take strokes off of your score.  \n\nDo Not!!! skimp on your putter.  I have so many friends who will spent $400 on a new driver, but have a $30  putter in their bag.  Putting is the key to lowering your handicap.  Don't be afraid to spend some dough on a quality putter.\n\nGood luck,  and enjoy the game

No, they are not held to the same strict tolerances as OEM clubs. You might have 5 clubs out of your set that do not have consistent lofts and lie....you might notice over a period of time that you always hit your 8 and 9 iron good and your 7 and 6 iron bad...\n\nJust for my piece of mind, I would spend the extra couple hundred and not have to worry about equipment being the culprit behind bad shots. \n\nGood Luck!

Hello Mrpeppy\n\nI have never used them myself so cant give you first hand info on them. I think an answer befor mine from ksingh gives you some quality info.\n\nHowever I have seen them and they are a classy set of clubs, sort of resemble a cross between Calloway and Hogan Apex.\n\nI particularly like the hybrids that come with them, thats a bonus. Hybrids instead of long irons are the way to go .\n\nIf you are able to get them under 300 dollars it would be a good deal.\nGood luck and happy golfing.\n\nLeon

When I was 16 money was an issue, so I will assume it might be in your case.  Go to club manufactures websites.  (I have some of them on my blog roll along with several articles about club fitting.)  Hit as many clubs that you can as much as you can.  Have the company reps fit you. I think it's best to go through the fitting process a couple of times before you buy.  When you find what works best for you buy it or find something that you can afford with that style.  Remember hit them first they may look a like but that dose not mean you will hit them the same.

you need to be fit for them go to the company web sites and look for a demo day in your area.  The length of the clubs stays the same most of the time, it's the angle they change.

I had 3 students by them last year.  They paid under $200.00 for a stand bag, irons, and woods.  That is a good price for a set of clubs.  We had a Demo day two weeks later, given the chance to hit other clubs they wish they waited.  I suggest you hit several different sets of clubs before you make the purchase.  The sets the guys had did not have they Hybrids.  I think you should hit some Hybrids before you buy also.  The one thing I noticed about the clubs.  The balance felt strange, the head was heavy.

At your height.  I would recommend at least 1" over length and 2 degrees upright.  Depending on your athletic ability...Stiff shaft.  You can find a used set built to those specifications at a variety of places.   Or you can by a new set at a pro shop.  On or off course.  They will make an immense difference in your ability to make contact.  They will "fit" you better.   \n\nMany places have "demo sets".  Try one at a range.  If you do better and are liking the game.  Invest in a series of lessons to learn the fundamentals.  If this is not in your price range...find an instruction book and teach yourself.  Be careful not to read from too many different advisers.  Pick one and stick with it.   There are some good videos out as well.

It depends upon your age as far as the clubs to start off with because they have clubs for children as well as adults.\nYou may want to just start off with a 1,3,and 5 wood set for your woods. As far as your irons, you may want to start off with a set with a 3,5,7, and 9 iron as well as a pitching wedge. Also, find yourself a putter that you are comfortable handling, for putting is a huge part of the sport. As far as balls, you may want to start off with a dozen, along with a towel to wipe your balls and clubs clean with. And also a bag large enough to consume all of your equipment that is the right size for you to carry if you will be carrying your clubs on the course instead of carrying them in a cart.

All golfer or most golfers will tell you the same thing.  Before they started playing golf they never thought they would play it.  I guess you can say you have to try it to know if you like it or not.  Now if you have some friends that would like to try, tell them to check out www.playgolfamerica.com They have some great programs for beginners at local golf courses.  Link Up 2 Golf is the best.  They do not need to but clubs.  May they can sign up for a free golf lesson to try it out.
