A little background...I played golf for fun in middle school and high school but upon getting to college gave it up for other "activities" haha. I was never particularly good so I am probably back at square one at this point. I am now looking to get back into it since I am graduating this spring and am in the process of building a bag.

Trying to keep it under $1000 and build a bag I can grow into. What I have picked out so far...not purchased but pretty sure this is what I want.

Rocketballz Irons 2012 4-PW & AW: $450

R-11s TP Driver: $260

Rocketballz 3 Wood 15*: $160

What do you guys think and what do you think I should add to complete the bag? Obviously need a putter but anything else?

56 degree sand wedge(I am a big fan of mine below) and a 5 wood. Or you could go with a 3 Hybrid, but probably the 5W.

i would recommend a hybrid/utility wood in the 19-21 degree range. something that you can hit around 200-220 if your irons are not there. also another wedge (depending upon what degree your 'AW' is)

as far as putters go, i think its crucial to get a style/type that you are comfortable and put well with. there is basically no technology in putters so get something you put well with. you can go to Dicks or Sports authority and putt around all day sampling the different styles.

Think I am going to end up going with...a lot of Rocketballz. Hope I don't look too much like a tool.

Rocketballz Driver 10.5*

Rocketballz 3W 15*

Rocketballz Iron Combo 3H, 4H, 5-PW

Odyssey White Ice #3 Putter

I will fill in the wedges when I get the PW down.

Thanks for the responses! I think I will be glad I switched to the 3H, 4H

I don't know if I want to give advice to a knicks fan... Go WARRIORS! But since you are around a 20 handicap I would not reccomend a 3wd. Try a 4wd, it will be a lot easier to get it up in the air and will most likely go further for you. The rocketballz 3wd was already low launching and a 4wd would just help a little. Other than that all I would add would be a sandwedge. If you like the feel of the rocketballz you can get a rocketballz sandwedge also. Good luck getting back into the game.

In my bag

Thanks for the advice...even though I'm a knicks fan haha. Injuries are killing us this year so you don't have much to worry about!

I will look into the 4 wood. Placing my order now. The handicap was just a number I put in to get past the page. I really have no idea what it is but I am sure it is up there haha.

Great choice of irons, and the RBZ 3 wood is awesome, but I'm not sure someone of a 20 handicap needs a TP driver...

But anyway, the setup I would go for (and the one I use)  is,  driver, 3 wood, 3 hybrid, 4-aw irons, 54 degree wedge, 58 degree wedge, and putter.

Driver: :tmade: Burner '08 10.5* 3 wood: :tmade: Rocketballz 15* 3 hybrid: :tmade: Burner Superlaunch 18* 4 hybrid: :tmade: Rescue 11 21* Irons: :tmade: Burner 1.0 5-AW Wedges: :vokey: Spin Milled 54* :cleve: CG16 58* Putter: :odyssey: 2 Ball Blade Grips: Golf Pride VDR white Balls: :titleist: Velocity Bag: :tmade: Audi bag

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
