Getting My First Set of Golf Clubs

[Jacobys Homey]

Hey y'all, just looking for advice.

I'm going to be a Junior at Baylor this fall, and I've been getting into golf a lot lately, its something I really enjoy. Looking for some advice on a nice set of clubs that will last a while into my business professional career but won't set me back too far money wise, obviously. If any of y'all have any suggestions for a great value, that'd be great!

Thanks guys.

Havent had to buy a set in 14 years.

I'm due for a new one, but can't afford em because i'm buying a house lol.

DAMNIT



Anyway...


If you go to a mainstream store, get fitted.

Otherwise there are a bunch of other avenues you could take to get a set.

College kid that wants a nice set of clubs that will last a while but won't set him back... hmmm.... take up disc golf

But seriously, you're going to spend about $250 at least for a "nice set" of irons but then you still need the rest. You can live w/ woods and gap/lob wedges. I bought Taylor Made Burner irons 2 years ago for 320 total. AW-4I. A good driver will set you back another 150 probably.

Check our rockbottomgolf.com

I'd be leery about buying clubs online until you get fitting to know what you like but I just wanted to offer some info

Buy used clubs. You can get solid brand clubs at good prices, and if you take care of them they will last forever. You can find used sets of Calaway and Taylor Made irons anywhere from 200-350.

I just bought a set of Taylor Made Burner 2.0 Irons and they are very good and reasonable price wise. Was $349 for the set, but pretty reasonable compared to other iron sets out there. Could always go used clubs as well

I think you're better off getting a used set. They're much, much cheaper and you should be able to find a decent set.

I'm going to give you some advice but I'll caveat it by saying I suck at golf. I mean I'm terrible.

That said, try going to a golf shop to get sized and test out the different grips. See what works for you and what you like. Personally I like Pings. I rented a set of Ping G10's (not sure what model they are these days) and loved it. Others who are true golfers like blades. It's all about feel and what you're comfortable with...

I would fully recommend a used set of Ping G10-G15 clubs for a beginner. I talked my buddy into doing so and he loves them.

You can get a 2-3 year old model for cheap off ebay. Honestly they are 99% the same thing as the new ones as golf club innovation has leveled off. Just make sure you get a good set of grooves and pay attention to the ping color code.

Like other's have said get used. Best place that I get all my clubs through is globalgolf.com Always have a huge variety and can get them in various conditions. I've seen Nike drivers in good condition for around 35-40 bucks. Just picked up a Taylormade Burner 2.0 3 Hybriad for 19.99 and was in great condition. Normally around a 120 club.

Check out used clubs in local stores and rock bottom golf. The nice thing about golf clubs is that even a beginner can tell what kind of condition they're in--it's not like a car where you actually have to know something about it.

For a set of clubs to last you through college and an early professional career, just buy a set of decent name brand stuff that looks good to you--the difference between clubs won't be really noticeable until you're a really solid golfer. I've found that the difference between cheap and good golf balls is much more noticeable than the difference between really good and great clubs.
