Brandon asked:


I’m 17 now, I started 2 or 3 years ago and want to start golfing more regularly. My current box set of clubs is horrible and I need an upgrade. I’m will to spend up to $700. It could be a box set or recomended set of different clubs.

Ex. Nike xxx Driver
Nike xxx irons

Any help is appreciated.

    I do not know what your handicap is but here are some clubs that are pretty decent.

    Taylor Made rac OS2
    Titleist AP2
    Ben Hogan Apex
    Ping G10
    Mizuno MX-200

    I like the Callaway Big Bertha Irons, you can probably pick them up for 500 bucks or less for the 2008 model. The clubs are very stable and quite forgiving. I also use a Callaway Big Bertha 454 driver, tho I am looking at changing up to a Ping Rapture (which you can get last years model for under 200).

    My Top Flite set is great. It was only $250 bucks and included a bag. I have no need for the bag since I use my school bag, but there are great clubs. They have a nice, thick back for more force, great angle and the putter is very accurate. As for a Driver, I would go with a Wilson Staff. Any will do. As for the hybrids, they are great. This set also includes fairway woods. BTW I am 15 years old.

    your skill level should determine the type of clubs you buy. if you do not strike the ball well, you should get any type of wide soled irons. if you prefer nike, you should look into the slingshot irons. as for the driver and woods, they really should match as far as the brand goes because different brands perform slightly differently than others. i would recommend any square driver because they are the most forgiving. ex. nike sumo² driver and 5 wood

    It really depends on which brand/model you are most comfortable with. You may end up buying another set in another year or two as you improve your swing and get more comfortable.
    Try a good iron set like Nike Sumo or CCI, Callaway Big Bertha , or Taylormade maybe preowned in great condition. –7/bid–16/iron-set/nike.aspx–16/nike-golf-equipment.aspx–4/callaway-golf-equipment.aspx
    etc…

    Hi there, that’s great that you’re getting into golf more! It’s an amazing sport that you can play for life. I’ve golfed for about 10 years now, and when I worked a golf course, the pros raved about Callaway clubs, and are the clubs I now swear by. This will add up to more than $700, but believe me, quality is most important, get clubs that will last. I’ve actually seen golfers break the heads off cheap clubs when taking a swing. Here’s my picks:

    Callaway Big Bertha Irons – $499.99 (on sale at)
    Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Driver – $299.99 (also on sale!)
    Callaway Fairway Wood – $299.99
    Odyssey White Hot XG Putter – $139.99 (I love Odyssey putters!!)

    Hope that helps, enjoy golfing!
