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.

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.

    • Day 5: did a stack session. Did some slow swings between sets, working on hands down. 
    • So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily. 
    • Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.  
    • Day 227 4-2 Chest and hip turn with flow drill. Trying to get a rhythm to the hip movement/less segmented feeling. 
    • A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
