So trying to get some clubs for the father-in-law for Father's Day and want to do this thrifty since he doesn't play much. The idea is to find some forgiving clubs too because he needs the help and the ancient muscle backs he's playing should have never been in his bag to begin with!

So here are some ones I'm looking at.

Nickent 3dx 3,4 Hybrid 5-PW Irons Combo Set Grap
Bridgestone Golf GC Midsize Irons 4-PW Graph
Adams Golf- Tight Lies Classic 4-SW Irons Steel

So those are the options I've come up with at the moment. I've never hit any of the above clubs, but have heard good things about the Nickent set and the long irons are Hybrids which is nice. The Bridgestones I heard were decent and I threw them in simply to expand the options. Finally the Adams set I like for the price point. If I go that route I can add some other clubs in there as well.

So any recommendations? Any alternate options?

Thanks!

I've hit the Nickents, they're really nice clubs. They advertise they're longer than most clubs but that's due to the lofts being a bit more aggressive but they did fill in the gaps by including a 10 iron as well. The hybrids hit really well too! Can't compare them to the others since I haven't hit those.

I have only hit the Nickents,which were nice. However if your trying to be thrifty I would go with the Tightlies. RBG had them for $99 last week.

I strongly suggest the Golden Bear GX2. While the driver is meh...the irons are very forgiving, as well as the 3, and 5 woods, and I loved the hybrids. Now my backup set...those were WELL worth the $120 i got them for.

    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.

    • Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
