Do you think that I have a good golf set?

I think you have an excellent set of clubs. It seems you made the right choices putting them togeather.\n\nHowever it doesnt matter what any one else things , it only matters what you think and I believe you feel very good about the set.\n\nYour freshman golf team is going to get a great new addition, just relax and play your own game when trying out.\n\nGood luck and see you on the PGA tour in about 10 years.\n\nLeon

yes i used on more than 10 years ago, for fun. it is most helpful when u go to a course that u have never played on. it will keep u out of the 100's. the first year i got a set was in 1995 and i played 300+ times that year on many course all over my state, south carolina, alabama, and tenn. I averaged 73 for the whole year long. they are great. bushnell makes the best ones.

Ping makes good quality clubs that you can pretty much size for yourself on their website.  Callaway is a good brand also.  However, if you are just starting out and money is important, it doesn't pay to buy expensive clubs.  Buy a clean-looking used set at a garage sale or on ebay, or buy an inexpensive new set at a sporting goods store.    After you've learned to hit the ball well and consistently then reward yourself with a nice new set.

umm are we supposed to guess or are you asking for recommendations.  I have Wilson Fat shafts, and a big bertha 12 degree driver and a NIke hybrid club.  read up on clubs on the internet and try some.  most golf courses you can rent or try things.  and if you dont golf yet buy a semi-cheap set and take lessons and you can always buy better clubs once you learn how you play and what you like.

Your game is going to change a lot, it sounds like your going to be playing a lot.  May is free golf lesson month you can sign up at www.playgolfamerica.com to get a lesson with a local PGA pro.  I think a good 3 wood and maybe a Hybird would be the best things for you.  Even if you purchased the right driver for you now, it may not be the one for you by the end of the season.  Once you get down to the 90's you can start looking for a good driver.

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

How much are you willing to spend. In this month's issue of Golf Magazine, they suggested this set for 20+ handicappers: \n\nMizuno MX-23 (5I-PW) irons\n\nCleveland CG11 Gap wedge\n\nMacGregor V-FOIL EZ Out SW (56 degree)\n\nClevleand HALO Hybrids (22 and 25 degrees)\n\nTaylorMade r5 Dual 5 wood and 7 wood\n\nPing G2 EZ (15.5 degree) high-lofted driver. \n\nDon't forget the Odyssey White Steel 2-Ball putter to round it off.

None, Save the $250.00 bucks and use $99.00 of it to sign up for Link Up 2 Golf or First Swing. Go to www.playgolfamerica.com and find a program in your area. They will supply the equipment. They will teach you everything you need to know and take you out on the course a couple times. Make sure when you sign up that they do take you out on the course. During this time you will get to hit several types of clubs. \n\nThings to think about\n1. Budget\n2. How often will you play\n3. Clubs you hit that you like\n\nI even suggest going to some demo days have them fit you for clubs. Once you know what you want you can look for great deals on E-bay, Play it again sports, or newspaper.

you should look for some clubs on ebay, you can get a really good deal..... since he loves golf im sure he doesn't want some knock off brand so you should try to get him some cleveland or ping clubs they're really good clubs and im sure you can get them at a good price... good luck

The guy above me is correct. You can buy them from Golfsmith here:\n\nhttp://www.golfsmith.com/products/GP000081\n\nIn my opinion the quality has slipped since they were acquired by Golfsmith....try to get an older used one...

true. most clones will get you just about what you're looking for minus the outrageous price tags. I LOVE muscle back irons like the Titleist 690 but cannot afford the $1000 tag for them. I use, instead, a Nike clone set in which I put together myself, saving me even more money and they are pretty much similar. The Titleists are true forged blades but my clones are cast so there is a difference there, however, playing my clones still give me the feel and comfortablilty with using muscle back irons while I learn and improve my game. I've had my set for about 3 years and have gotten better to the point where I will now be custom fit for my set in a couple of months or so (still working on the price tag for now). But your logic is right on. no need to drop a grand on a set your not ready to use so get the knock offs for now and work your way up.

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...

Lefty or righty doesnt matter, welcome to this great game.\n\nI would say you should get a used set of clubs and regrip them and play untill you develope a fairly consistant swing, maybe about 5 rounds, Then get to your local golf pro and seek some advice and several lessons, do this befor you ingrain to many bad habits. \n\nAfter a few lessons you then may want to continue and now should get to a better set of clubs because there is a big difference in clubs. \n\nCavity back - more forgiving\nForged - better feedback on misshits\nBlades - maximum feedback on solid or misshits.\n\nAlso the shaft flex is important for your individual swing.\n\nAll these things can be checked out by your local pro.\n\nGood luck and good golfing.\n\nLeon

If I were you, I'd shop the used clubs in your local golf shop.  You can find clubs that are like new for half-price or less.  Also, keep an eye on the clearance racks.  There's a lot of good equipment there, too.

I buy almost all of my golf equipment on ebay. Big savings in my opinion
