I'm a total beginner and have the opportunity to buy a set of mixed clubs made by Ping. By 'mixed set,' I mean that the clubs will come from different Ping lines made over the past couple of decades.

Price will be $100. Does this make sense, or should a beginner avoid this?

you might be better off spending $50-60 more and get something from ebay,craigslist,target or even walmart...

$100 for PING clubs is a great price, so there is definitely potential there. But I'm a little worried that you might have trouble developing a consistent swing with clubs that vary from shot to shot.

Can you give a little more detail? Are you saying it's a complete mishmash (I think that's the technical term) with random different models of irons? (For example, some irons are G5, a couple are s59, one is i5, etc.) Or do you mean that the Woods are not the same model as the irons, etc? For example, Driver and 3-wood are G2, a Rapture hybrid, 4 iron through PW is G5, SW is iWedge. Could you list exactly what is in the set? Mostly I am concerned about the make-up of the irons. Also, if you have access to it, can you tell us what color the "dot" is on the irons and wedges? (More questions once you respond.)

Yes, that's it. The $100 price would probably include a driver and putter. Some of them, however, could be 20+ years old. It's a real random mix of irons.

Or do you think I would be better off by buying individual Ping clubs from the same set (G10 or I10) as finances allow?

If the clubs are in decent shape, $100 for even a mixed bag of pings would be hard to walk away from. Just sell or trade the ones that don't work for you. They are, after all, pings.

Yeah, I think different irons are a bad idea. And technology has improve a LOT in the past 20 years. I think you'd be better off matching a bit better. (Woods don't need to "match" the irons, obviously.) And I'm not crazy about the "one at a time" option.

Take a look at Callawaypreowned.com to see if anything catches your attention. Same with Globalgolf.com's used section. $100 isn't a lot to work with though. If you see anything post a link and we can give you comments.

I don't see anything wrong with a mixed set, so long as the mix makes sense. Unless you can provide the exact mix, it's very hard to say if this makes sense in your particular case.

Driver: TaylorMade RocketBallz 10.5-deg
Woods: Cobra Bio Cell+ 3W and 5W
Hybrids: Bobby Jones Workshop Hybrid 3 (20-deg) and 5 (25-deg)
Irons: Srixon XXIO7 from 6 - PW
Wedge: Srixon XXIO7 GW and SW

Putter: Bobby Grace DCT Captiva 34"; Ball: Sirxon Soft Feel; Shoes: Footjoy

You can do better than that for $100. Go on Ebay and see what you can get on there. For less than $150 you can get a set of used clubs that is almost like new. I bought my set of Titleist DCI 981s for $120 on Ebay.
The main problem I see with a mixed set of clubs is that you will have trouble developing a consistent swing because they will be different from one club to the next. The feel will be different and it will throw you off when you are trying to figure out what you are doing wrong.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
