I've been playing a fair bit of golf recently but using my dad's ancient blade irons so wanting to get a new set. Would like to spend £300 or less ideally getting 4-SW with a 3 hybrid.

Any golfers want to suggest a good set to go for? Been looking at Nike Ignites which i'm quite impressed with but you have to buy the SW separate. I'm not great and consistently shoot over 100, well over 100.

Taylor made RACs. You might need a tad more on the budget, but worth every penny.

If your shooting 100+ no point splashing out a fortune on clubs, any set of oversize irons would be fine, you,ll find a set in jjb for £100 to £200 no problem or even a 2nd hand set,from your nearest range or club would do.

i see loads of guys at my club with there shiny new callaways or w/e, at the cost of £600,then watch them duff 1,30 yards up the fairway.

If you conitnue to play and lower your handicap then look to spend a bit more on clubs.

couldnt disagree more

I had 'unbranded' clubs with 'big sweet spots' for years

Bought my RAC's (which are their lower end range - about 300 for the irons - but obv no hybrid), game improved no end. They are just a quality club for the average player. Spend £70 - and you will get £70 worth of clubs!

I was playing with a scratch handicpper a few weeks ago - he was telling me how the golf balls dont matter. Orly I said.... - what do you use ................ "Pro V's"

You dont need to spend a fortune -  but i would buy a quality set. FInd a good golf club pro who isnt vested into a certain brand. Get the right clubs for you. If you are very tall - get extra long clubs. MAke sure you DONT buy blades - something with a nice big sweet spot will be better!

And make sure they let you take em out back for some practice swings. And be driven by 'feel' and not results in the nets!!!!!

Buy a cheaper set and spend the difference on lessons.

Go to www.golfbidder.com and have a look at some decent 2nd-hand sets of Pings.

Eye 2's are my preference but you may prefer something more modern, I believe that Eye 5's are very much a-la-mode.

Best manufacturer, but useless clubs for a guy shooting 100+.


You want to get these, and easily under £300 http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/irons/mx-100/local/

And whatever you do, make sure you get fitted for them.

GET LESSONS

i taught myself over 5 years and got to 13 but just couldn't get any better. Went and had lessons and swing totally changed, grip, stance, everything, 6 months of awful play until it started to get better. It clicked fully about 2 months ago and i am knocking shots off all the time, last round i played i went round in 6 over on a course where my best ever before was 15 over.

I still play with 5 year old callaways but i'm investing in some mizuno's now i feel it's worth it and i always recommend callaways for woods, they just go further for some reason.
