I was looking for everyone's input on which clubs to get



Use this format:

Irons:
Putter:




I'm a 10 handicap but improving and I'm planning for the future instead of the present. I have no price range, so dont worry about being conservative.

What's wrong with the Burner?

I would go with AP-2 irons (if your dad is getting a fat refund) or the Ping i10.

For the 3 wood, check out either the new Callaway square fairway woods, or the Titleist 906 series.

Driver... well if you like the Burner but want an upgrade, check out the new Burner TP driver. Another option, the G10, or drink the Kool-Aid and try the Cobra L4V f or x speed. I don't know if you want a bomber or workable driver, but if you shape your shots, I would check out the 907 D2, but get a shaft with lower spin.

Putter, you can't go wrong with Scotty Camerons or Odysseys. Or, for something different, I would try a boutique putter like C&L; putters or TP Mills. This is one area that is 100% preference, with very little consensus as to what is "best"... get what feels good.

Good luck with whatever you choose!

Check out demo days in your area to see which clubs you like.

Players irons, especially at a low handicap and improving, are the way to go, I feel. Ping i10, Bridgestone J36, Mizuno MP-57, and Titleist AP (I forget, AP1 or AP2) are all good choices. You should go to demo days and find the ones that have a look and feel that you like.

I also suggest keeping your driver and 3-Wood if you like them. Finding good ones of those is hard. Maybe your dad can use the money he saves on not buying new ones of those to take you to a nice course next vacation.

The AP1s are directed towards the mid to high handicap players, as it is considered "game improvement" (or as close as Titleist comes to GI). There is more forgiveness, larger head size, and it is cast instead of forged.

The AP2s are forged, smaller head and topline, and less offset. The target demographic is mid to low handicaps (12-scratch). Some Titleist pros are also bagging them, most notably Adam Scott. They are also a few hundred dollars more for a full set, so one would have to decide if that is worth it.

As a side note, there are have been some complaints that the AP1 irons show wear a lot more than the AP2s, but that's not from my firsthand experience. I love my AP2s, by the way.

irons: you could possibly go with the mp60's or maybe tm RACs?
driver: you can't really improve much on the burner. just about as long as any driver
putter: your current one seems alright. perhaps a newport? my mate has one and it actually does make you putt better.(holed my only 15 foot putt with it last week in my round.)
3 wood: the burner is a great 3 wood, i have also seen good reviews on the sumo's
hybrid?: if you wanted one i nike, tm, titleist, ping, all make great hybrids.

buying new clubs is always fun. hit as mnay as you can..try everything in the shop

Hm.
If 'Dad' is talking about this refund check, don't expect to have a professional set.

well, i think he's using this refund check as an excuse to my mom for me to get new clubs.

We live comfortable in a gated community with 3 golf courses so it must be about convincing my mom.

    • Non conforming clubs still count towards the maximum number.   But to the OP, the maximum penalty is a match adjustment of two holes in match play, or a maximum of four strokes (the general penalty applied to the first two holes) in stroke play.  Its entirely possible you would have come out ahead even if the penalties had been applied.

    • Day 68 (8 Jul 25) - Took grandson and the Mrs for an easy nine today.  She only wanted her driver, 7i and putter, so I trimmed my bag back to accommodate.  Had a blast watching her shake the rust off and hit some nice drives, approaches and roll putts.  Got her to use my 7w for those par 5 second shots - she used it well.  Grandson was on his game as well.  For me it was about course management and working from yardages and positions I don’t usually play - with fewer options to get back in play.  Love mixing it up like this - makes me think and not just boringly do. 
    • During league night on Wednesday I had a bit of a lightbulb go off and I struck my approaches well all day. But the best one was a Gap Wedge from the fescue on hole 16.   Crossed myself up on a tee shot that requires a fade. Instead I hit a slight draw into the fescue. (The fescue doesn't show up on the shotscope picture, but trust me, it's there.) I was left 109 to the flag. I hit a gap wedge to about 12 feet. Yeah, I missed the birdie putt. But didn't embarrass myself. Took tap in par and happily moved on to hole 17.  In all the time I've been playing this course. I've never played a ball to the left of the little tree shown in the top right corner of the bottom picture. 
    • My game, for a lot of reasons is finally starting to improve.  I darn near completed the no sixes challenge this morning. I snuck out early today and played my home course. I was the first one off and finished in under 2 hours.  I hit 8 fairways and was just off on 4 others. Only 2 tee balls were what I'd consider wild. (I made a GIR from the next fairway over on one of them. 🤷‍♂️) I made 8 GIR's and had 8 NGIR's. I shot my lowest round since 2019 and didn't even putt particularly well. I had four or five really good birdie chances and didn't convert any. I also missed one well inside 3 feet on 13. That one hurt. Oops.  I played really well on Wednesday. Shooting a +1, 37 on the back nine. I birdied 2 of the last 4 holes. My approaches are where I'm seeing the biggest difference. I think the swing I've been working on for the past few months is starting to sink in. Here is Wednesday's strokes gained vs a 5 HCP. I'm excited to play tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this is this the start of a parade or just a lone drummer passing by?
