I would say Nickent 3DX Hybrid irons, very user-friendly and forgiving. I would say go to a driving range where you can borrow some irons to hit, most range facilities I've been in are very helpful to first timers. Good luck, let us know how you go...

i'm looking at taking up golf and was wondering what the best clubs would be for a beginner

Hello and welcome to TST. Pretty tough to answer that. Like asking what’s the best wine to try for one who’s never had wine. I can’t say I agree with @Colins69 however. Your best bet is to find a Super Game Improvement set of irons used from a quality brand like Callaway, TaylorMade, Cobra, Ping. If you want to get an ‘all in one box set’ you’ll do fine if you can score a box set of Callaway Edge. These have been reviewed and did pretty well for the price. Cheers.

Nickent went out of business in 2009

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

No kidding mate, I suggested nickent because of the quality and cheap cost. Like start for a $100 and then you decide if you want to play alot or not, not a big investment to lose lol.... imho.

Welcome to TST!  We're glad you've joined.   

We all understand beginners don't want to drop a lot of money on clubs and other equipment to only find out that they don't like the game.    I believe that @Vinsk gave you some very sound advice.  Good luck.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
