New golfer, need a recommendation on clubs...

[Snoogans]

Ok, so my friends have been playing for years and I've decided to take some lessons and get some clubs. The only problem is I have no idea what to get. I will get fitted this week, but I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. What are some good clubs for a beginner? Also, should I go with steel or graphite shafts. I'm most likely going to start w/ a regular flex shaft. Money is not an issue. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hit a bunch of clubs. See what feels - and looks - good to you.

Graphite in your woods. Steel in your irons. If you're just starting out, go with clubs that are more towards "game improvement" - cavity back, super-forgiving, etc. You may be surprised on shaft flex. Go with R and you may regret it (maybe) - just get the right ones for your swing speed.

Ok, sounds good. I guess best bet for me is to get fitted and then go from there. I've been looking at the Titleist 804.OS, Mizuno MX-900, Ping G5, etc.
