I WOULD LOOK AT HYBRID IRONS AND FAIRWAY WOODS, ADAMS GOLF I WOULD RECOMMEND THEY ARE DAM GOOD MANUFACTURES OF GOLF CLUBS, GET FITTED FOR THEM. LENGTH, LIE, GRIP SIZE, FLEX. BAD BACK OR NOT YOU NEED THE TOOLS TO GET YOU AROUND THE COURSE, HAVE YOUR NEXT SET BUILT TO YOUR GAME, NOT OFF THE RACK. ON YOUR BACK PROBLEM I DONT KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE MAGNETS BUT YAHOO SEARCH, JIM COLBERT ON THE CHAMPIONS TOUR SWEARS BY THEM, GRIP IT AN RIP IT

Probably not worth much right now but maybe down the road someday.  You may get more information from this link.  \n\nhttp://www.golfopia.com/genvalue.htm

I suggest PRINCE.\n\nI suggest you purchase a racquet from the PRINCE O3 Series. The Prince O3 Series is huge and shall nearly definitely have the right racquet for you. The series contains not only original racquets, but also combinations with older racquets to perfect the collection.

I think Ping G5 is better than X18 because I feel very easy to hit the ball long and straight with G5, but X18 has more side spin ,so it is better for a good player(under 12 handicap), if you are not a really good player and you expect to have long distance rather than control, I suggest you to buy Ping G5(as I am playing Ping G5 too and my handicap is 15).

Not that I know of.  Thats a good price.  One warning though.  Are you a fast enough swinger of the club to need a stiff shaft?  That is for swing speeds of  90-100 mph.\n\nI have Mizuno kit (MX-23 plus MP-001 driver), but as far as drivers are concerned, those Taylor Made R7s are currently still the best on the market that I know of.  My regular golf buddy has one, and (unfortunately for me) the distance is dramatic.

Here is the thing about your first set of clubs, you need to play 15 or 20 sometimes more before you will have a good idea what type of clubs you want.  You first set needs to be something with a bigger sweet spot that is more forgiving.   I think a used set sometimes is best.  The reason to go with a cheap set at first is so you don't lose a lot of money.  Once you have played enough to know what you want, go to as many demo days as you can.  Have them fit you.  All the sets mention are about the same but one person may perfer one over the other.  I"m sure you can get the same sets used for $80.00.  I have a lot of club info links on my blog roll

Either way you decide to go you should get the irons custom fit. For some reason the golf consumer believes that name-brand clubs off the rack are "better." This is simply false. \n\nIf the average Joe could witness the hours of tweeking that go into a touring pro's clubs, then they'd realize that it's not the name on the clubhead, it the custom fitting that makes it all work.\n\nTo get everything just right, your swing has to be analyzed either with computer or by lots of experimentation or, preferably, by both.\n\nA book that you may benefit greatly from is Tom Wishon's "The Search for the Perfect Golf Club." (See link 1)\n\nSee link 2 for a quick Q&A discussing custom clubfitting.\n\nNo, I do not work for nor am I associated with Wishon Golf in any way, shape, or form. I actually play a set of Golfworks irons, TaylorMade driver (a gift...would never have spent that much on a driver), and a SeeMore putter (like Payne Stewart's).

I love to play golf. Watching it is another story. It is really boring watching it for the first day or two but then I always like to watch it on the last day to see who wins or if there will be a shot out. I just got new clubs of ebay. I really never had a real brand before. I have always had knock off brands. The clubs that I had but are to old now are ping knock offs. They were good. The ones that I just bought are nike knock offs. The are the knock offs of the nike slingshot. They look and feel just like them. Thee hit just fine too. I got them off ebay for only 180. The real nike slingshots would cost me 600. So that is why i like knock offs. They are just as good but CHEAP. but woods i do have name brands. I have all big bertha woods.

Try a Wilson nCode. They are probably the best rackets out there right now.\n(Just my opinion)\n\n:D

your 4-hyrbrid is probably a 20-22 deg loft.  use it to replace your 4 iron, or as a club up when u r unsure about the length of your 5 iron.\n\nteeing the hybrid on a long par 3 is a great move.  the hybrids are easier to hit than the long irons, so your tee shots will be more accurate.

That's a very good question.  The answer to that question would depend on the golfer you ask.  I personally believe it is the putter, but that's just me.  If it was your husband who said he needed a new sand wedge then he would know.  As far as a more important club, that would depend on your husband's skill with the rest of the clubs in his bag.  If this is a gift you might be able to get a golfing buddy to casually ask what your husband considers to be his most important club, and go with that, if not the best way would be to ask him straight out.  I know I would like it if my wife were to ask me to go with her to get a club for me, but that's just me. LOL!  At any rate good luck with your purchase.

One that is not too heavy for you and one that you can swing good. Name Brands dont mean shit.

the reason u only fine them at dicks is because dicks owns walter hagen. walter hagen makes their own clubs but dicks owns them. they are very good clubs. my dad and i both bought the SB-3 irons, i also have the 3 and 5 woods. i love them all and i will buy a putter and wedge too. they are great clubs. good quality and low price. i actually work at dicks and we have a couple of walter hagen clubs in our range and they've been beat up quite a bit by hackers. theres dents on them and they still hit great. dad has the walter hagen AWS driver. the older version. not the comp. any other questions email me at ryansnite@yahoo.com

Callaway has held the market share for years.  There was a poll done a few years back of amateur and pro golfers and over 70% reported to have at least one Callaway club in their bag (most popular is the driver, followed by a putter, then irons/woods).\n\nI would think that although their market share has dropped some, they are still untouchable, especially with the popularity of the Big Bertha driver and the White-Hot putter series.

Replace your 2 & 3 irons. \n\nMore control and a better feel. I bought the Ping g5. I love them. Best fairway play I have ever had.\n\nGo to a golf store and try some out. Hit with the irons and then hit with the hybrids and see for yourself. Any good golf store will allow to try before you buy. \n\nI personally like a Golf etc. if you have one close.

Churchill's are more comfortable but you don't get as much thrust or grab from them as you would the Vipers. There are a lot of other brands on the market that have other features that might interest you. Personally, I like the Duck Feet Naval Orange because they are longer and they float. They also are good for diving, bodysurfing and bodyboarding. I don't think they make them anymore, though.
