Thanks for the response it was really helpful. Yup that's what I meant that's good to know that I don't need the boxed starter sets. If you don't mind me asking how do fittings work? Do I buy clubs based on the fitting results or can I get clubs customized? Thanks!

I just wanted everyone's opinion on buying golf clubs for the first time. I started playing golf this season and have been going roughly 3-4 times a week. I've been paying to rent clubs and I think I'm committed to the game and want to buy a set of clubs. Got a couple questions hopefully y'all can answer some of them if not all! 1) Should I get a club fitting? I hear club fittings are essential to golf but would I get an accurate or good fitting since I'm still learning the game 2) How much money should I spend on my first set of golf clubs? I see sets available for $250-300 on the lower end. Does anyone have experience with these sets as most golf sets appear to be in the $800+ range? 3) Should I buy a set or build my own set by either buying new/used clubs individually? Is there a benefit to building my own set compared to buying a set?
