New Clubs

[Petden]

Recently I have been looking at replacing my clubs. Anyone here have experience with any of these:

Driver- Cobra L4V X
Woods-Callaway X graphite
Irons-Nike CCI
Wedge- Nike slingshot 4D sand
Putter- Taylormade Rossa Monza Spider

I have tried the putter the woods and the driver. All of them seemed great. The putter is a bit expensive but I have never felt anything like it.

Also if you know of any sites that sell clubs, or a website that has reviews of the clubs that would be helpfull.

There are a million sites that sell clubs. TGW, Rockbottomgolf, golfsmith, etc, etc... As for reviews, do a quick search on this site for each one and see what people say. I would suggest hitting each one and if they feel right and feel good, then you found your clubs.

i have bought off of 3balls.com which was very satisfying and was for a low price

A better idea would be to find a decent clubfitter in your area and go and ask this question of him or her. A club that suits me will in all likelihood be completely useless to yourself and vice versa. A good clubfitter will charge you for their services, but in the long run will save you money by ensuring that what you buy suits you now, and in most cases can be refit later on if you improve.

They can also save you money by suggesting a cheaper alternative that you may not have considered, and often they'll have late model secondhand equipment that has been traded in with them that you can have built to suit at a much reduced cost than buying new.

Ebay etc are great places to buy used or reduced price new equipment from but only if you know exactly what you need - going the trial and error route (which is what you are doing if you are just guessing or going on some random web posters say-so) can end up being an expensive, time consuming and frustrating process.

I use the L4V (F speed, not X). It works great for me; it's got a very large sweet spot, and the ball really explodes off it.

Getting a clubfitter would be a good idea. There are many shafts which seem good but it is hard to tell which is best. With school and everything, I dont have much time, so I will ahve to wait for the schedule to clear up a bit. In the mean time, is there anything that I can do to try and figure out what I would be looking for in a shaft/flex on my own?
