Thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely look into that.

Update I am again looking for a new iron set and a driver for my son. Until now, he's been using my old Mizuno driver and MX-17 but I want to start playing with him and buy him a new set. I do not want custom fitted ones yet as he's at a growing stage and he's still not mature enough as a golfer to quite know which club feels better for him. So my plan is to get him a year or two old popular models with lots of positive ratings and forgiveness. Of course, I'd avoid the pro players type but do want to stick with a good brand. Please suggest some brand and models. I promise not to hold you responsible if there's any regret on our part later. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Next time, I'll get nasty.

I don't golf often so I don't know all the unwritten rules on the course. Yesterday, I went out with my son for 9 hole. There was a twosome ahead of us. We hit our first shots and both landed on the fairway (pure luck!) As we waited for the twosome to finish the hole, I felt something on my leg . Apparently the next person (playing alone) behind us hit too early. Luckily I was facing the hole and the ball hit me in my calf on a bounce. A simple "sorry" would've been appreciated. I kept looking back but he was either ignoring me or didn't know that he hit me. Son & I hit our second shots. While we were walking toward our balls, he rushes past us on the far side to get ahead of us. I was too far to say anything. Plus I didn't want to end up saying or doing anything I'll regret in front of my kid. I do have some temper issue. To make the long story short, we ended up playing behind him all evening. However, he did hold up our game. Was he completely out of line? Twosome ahead of us were really bad so it's not like we could've gone any faster. Besides, he ended up slowing us. I thought you are supposed to hit only when the front person is well out of reach and if you want to pass, you have to ask. Please clarify. Thanks. P.S. Yes it was at a popular public course.

Thanks for the good recommendation. Yes his grandfather's set are graphite flexible so he'll need a regular steel shaft. I don't want to get too technical but just get a good starter set of a name brand. A neighbor is selling his complete set of Callaway X-18 I'm also considering.

My son(14)'s entering high school and stands around 5'7. He's been using his grandfather's old clubs and wants his own. Please recommend brand and model for both iron sets and a driver. I prefer to buy new but gently used ones are ok too. Thanks.
