Just looking for help

[thenormankid]

Hello all I've been playing for a while now and I've had the golf bug. Now that its off season here I'm looking for advice. Now I've been putting money on the side for a big golf purchase. Now orignally I was saving for new irons seeing that the irons I have were handed down to me by my grandfather. I play okay with them but also feel limited with them. Now I have no 3 Wood and I was looking into getting rid of my 7 Wood and purchasing a 3 and 5 Wood. If you had $300 and were looking for new tools to practice with so that once the weather turned around you were ready to go what would you do?

I have a brand new TaylorMade 5 Wood Burner RH that I have purchased two months ago. Here's the link to the pics. I am not allowed to post on the market place yet because I am new. Let me know if you are interested.

When I play I track the following to see where I need to improve my game

- fairways hit
- greens on regulations
- putts per round

- up and down from around the green to within 100 yards

If you see the summary of your overall game it will become clear what golf equipment you need to assist you to improve that statistic.

i suggest u get a 3wood first. if you can hit the 7wood, you might as well keep it because they are very useful from the fairway, and can be more accurate than a 5wood off the deck. if i were you, i'd go for maybe a 4wood and combine the 2clubs(3w and 5w) to save money. you might be able to find a nice set of used irons for $200 or so that can help you alot. if money is tight look at the used section of your local shop for the best deals.

$300 will buy a lot of good stuff. Based on what you say, but knowing nothing of your game, it sounds like a new set of irons might be your most pressing need (and there may be money left after that for other needs/wants).

Just as example, here is the iron sets on sale at RockBottomGolf.com (a reputable site), with several good sets ranging in price from about $130 - $450. The Bridgestone GC OS set is a good deal ($190). Of course you can find lots of sets on eBay new or used for great prices as well. (One set that has gotten good reviews that should be available for new at good price is Wilson Staff Ci6 - they were Golf Digest's Hot List winner in 2007 I believe). It's probably also a good idea to either look at iron sets that include 1-2 hybrids or purchase a hybrid or two to replace longer irons.

I agree with Pkapp. Irons man! Take a look at last years Cobra FP's. Should be right around your price range and those are great for the money.

Thanx everyone for the advice. I believe I'm in a bigger need of irons then a new wood judging from my game. Now if I can get help on websites to buy from I might be in business.
