Picking up a few budget clubs next week as im gifting my existing 3 to my son (he has irons etc) Really looking at low budget for my first year on a course but decided to get budget new rather than second hand.

I've found Ram EZ3 and SGS both offering driver/3w/5h with graphite shafts for around £90 including shipping.

Anyone familiar with the brand and able to give any insights re difference beyond color. (left handed and uk based). Open to alternative packages if you can recommend but definitely a low budget.

You get what you pay for. I think this stands pretty well when it comes to golf clubs. With the new, something will loosen or break. With the second hand…they just won’t be shiny and new.😃

Absolutely, not expecting a world class set or anything. Its a placeholder for a year hence cheap as chips. Just curious why Rams have 2 versions that visually look identical bar color, priced similar with a different product line name.

Ram golf has not been a relevant brand in the US since Tom Watson was relevant so you might not get a lot of help with the clubs you are talking about. I would suggest a quality used set of a reputable brand rather than a cheap set. You might find you play the used clubs for years. If I read your post correctly, you only have 3 clubs now? I'd buy a putter, its free to practice putting at a golf course. Anyways, check Declathon, there are a few in Scotland, they would/should have inexpensive sets.

I have a full second hand set just now, the 3 i mentioned are poor condition though hence a new cheap set to get me me throuhh to summer

My son only has irons/putter so he'll get the old ones as a gift.

Just a quick follow up to say i took onboard the advice. Ive been checking out second hand clubs instead. Ebay snipers driving me up the wall though so will see how long my patience holds out.

    • Yeah - I'll keep an eye on that - I've been across the line for about forever, so I assume that I want to overexaggerate the laid off bit to get it closer to square when I take a real swipe at the ball. 
    • Those are better. Watch where the shaft points at the top, too. Bit over-rolled there (laid off).
    • First swings at after a 2.5 month forced hiatus. No surgery in the forecast at the moment! Doc said okay to start easing in gently over a few weeks. The effort is barely 30% here but felt solid.  I think my swing changed a few years ago after my right ankle injury (weight shift profile). I wonder if this may bring about another change. I certainly won't pivot on to the knee (left) aggressively any time soon, if ever. Could even be a good thing..heh.      
    • I mean, I just assume he mistyped something. 🙂 Promos were on X/Twitter and today I put the promo on IG. The full video is landscape (not good for Instagram) and too big for X (file size), so it's always been on YouTube.
