i think it takes a lot less time to graduate from SGI to GI than it is to do so from GI to Player's (if you even ever can).  point is, i think if you're shopping SGI, go to the used market.  in a year or so you'll surely want something with a bit more playability if you're going to be a frequent player.  i'd spend money on clubs that i intended to keep longer, and my guess is you're more likely to keep GI's faster.

How about, if you ever want to . GI clubs are the best of both worlds, if you have an OK swing.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Make sure you can get some time in with whatever you buy. My first set of Irons were Ping G10's, and frankly, I hated the damn things. The offset was horrible, I just couldn't swing well with them. Ping grips are fantastic though.

I'm currently using Wilson Staff Ci11's, after having tried numerous different sets of clubs, and they are, for me, perfection. Don't worry if it is GI, or SGI, instead find what feels right, and play those.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Horrible advice. I hate when people push a brand or model. Play what fits you. I hated the G20's as much as I hated the G10's. Does that mean they are bad clubs? No, it means they weren't right for me. Never take advice on club brands over the net. Again, buy what feels right.

^^  Truth! ^^

BUT.... if you are brand new and you suck, your money would probably be better spent on QUALITY lesson so you suck less, then you can look at blowing your wad on a new set of clubs.

New clubs won't make you suck less, you'll just look better at sucking!

If you're looking for good value - there's tons of good gear for cheap if you buy online ... here's the best deal I've seen in a long time on a very nice SGI set from Adams golf: http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/adams-golf-tight-lies-plus-1012-hybrid-irons-set-4-sw.html

Just starting - Okay, go less expensive but good quality - find a used set of Ping G5's and take a look. Or if you want really SGI, a used set of Ping Raptures. Go to ebay, make sure the serial numbers are good (you can call Ping) and see if the length and lie (color code) would fit. I don't like the sand or lob wedge of SGI sets, so I'd opt out of those.

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

The one thing I would suggest when purchasing irons is not to buy off the internet based on reviews or other peoples opinions.  Check out your local pro shops and the bigger retailers and try out a few sets within your price range.  You may find something that is totally off your radar and even save a few bucks.  It really comes down to how good you feel swinging it and if it suits your eye on address.

I started learning golf with Big Bertha super game improvement irons, and then went to Diablo Edge super game improvement irons. I have now moved to Razr X game improvement irons. To be honest, I think the Razr X are more forgiving than the other two. I should have bought them from the start.

My advice is to just go straight to game improvement irons. forget SGI.

Lot of great advise here but go one step further, go to a Rodger Dunn or a big retail, that has a good new and used section, try them all either pay that price or go to the internet to buy them for cheep, no tax and most likly no shipping.

But do not councel out any brand at this point, there are a lot of clubs that cross over to SGI/GI or GI/Players.

What brand you get does not matter just get the ones that feel the best to you. Then take some lessions!!!

i did not follow this with my son, got him X-20 set there are great but he did not try them, I used to play them and where great for me. He struggles some with the uniflex even thou he is a good size kid but his swing is slow should have got him regular flex there is a differance. I made a mistake now we will be getting him fitted soon and will let him try every club made new and old he is at that point now.

Of course this is just what i would do.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
