I'm not looking for the best or the most expensive clubs.  Just a good set that will last for a few years and help me improve my game.

Make sure you get to hit them first \nYou should go to demo days and club fitting. You can find demo days by going to vendor web sites. You can sign up for free fitting with local golf pro at www.playgolfamerica.com \nGood luck

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

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

there are 2 basic types, long thin ones and short stubby ones. Which ones are best depends on the persons throwing style and general prefference. Most people like the long thin ones these days as they are easier to group.\n\nYou can buy loads of sets already built up the price is usially a good guide to quiality!

The best answer that I can give you is DO NOT BUY CLUBS as a gift.!!!!\n\nI know thats not the answer you want but I promise it is the best.\nBuying clubs without knowing the golfer's abilities or preferences is like buying clothes for a teenager. It would be a guess if you got the right set.\n\nThe best advice is to get a GIFT card or to buy a golf-fitting session so a pro can determine the best set for that specific golfer. \n\nYou can spend up to $1500 for a good set of clubs but that does not mean you spent your money wisely.\n\nYou might be better off buying a $500 set and $1000 in lessons!

Since he's still a beginner, I'd suggest that you find him a [brand new] set within the US$300-500 range and you'll have a handful of choices off the rack, including the bag. [Note: it's okay to buy USED 'name brand' sets from pro shops, but a NEW set always gives extra encouragement to beginners.]\n\nAnd since you were able to save him the $$ difference from his original budget, also suggest that you take him to a few of your favorite courses or even the ones that you've been wanting to!\n\nIt's a win-win situation...

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.

First, get your shift key fixed, would you submit an email to your boss that was formatted like your question?\n\nOK, A complete set consists of 14 clubs (no more). The set is made up of a combination of: \n\nWoods (including the Driver and Fairway Woods)\nHybrid or Utility Club\nIrons \nWedges\nPutter\n\nHere's a typical set:\nDriver\n3 Wood\n5 Wood\n\nHybrid or Utility Club\n\n3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Irons\nPitching, Approach, Sand Wedges\nPutter\n\nThe set will also include a golf bag to carry your clubs, balls and accessories.\n\nSince you'll be with the boss, you'll want to remember all of the accessories that are actually necessities on the course:\n\nBalls (buy at least a dozen, if you are just starting, try Noodles)\nTees (2 3/4" for most drivers, don't buy the shorter ones)\nA ball marker\nGreens mender\nGolf towels\nGolf golf\nGolf shoes \n\nDon't wear jeans or cut-offs. Dockers are nice. Also a "golf shirt" is nice, not a t-shirt.\n\nBefore you go, you should get at least one lesson, or it will be a very long day for you and your boss.\n\nTake more money than you think you will need for extras like drinks, tips, bets, etc.\n\nHave fun!

I like the long eared variety, but you should only buy them once you are experienced. I think you should just start off with a fruit one as they are bigger and easier to hit the golf orb with.

The only golf clubs that seem to increase in value with age is either pings or callaway's, though as we all know put them on Ebay and somebody will buy them.

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.

I have never heard of them, but I did find an ebay auction with a set....had a "buy it now" price of $75.00\n\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/LH-MacGregor-Battlesticks-OS-3-PW_W0QQitemZ7221846117QQcategoryZ115280QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\n\nThey're probably Wal-Mart type clubs....whether they're worth it or not depends on you. Myself I would not play with clubs like that....just because I'd have a doubt whether it was my fault I hit a crappy shot or whether it was the clubs fault.....with the clubs I have now, I know it's my fault when I hit a bad shot. \n\nHope this helps!

if you really think a new club will help get a wood at the loft you need, i'm not a fan of the hybrids but you should still be able to get a wood with the loft you want. an 18-22 degree sounds like it might work
