Good assessment of the XL set though I disagree that it is not a good set for beginners. It is a decent value for someone that needs everything to get started and has no clue about golf equipment (like myself a year ago) and does not have the time to invest in extensively researching which equipment to pick up on eBay on the cheap.

Agree about the quality of the wood heads. My driver has a few dents (not just from bad swings, though the sky mark is definitely mine) and the 3W shaft broke at the hosel sending the head further than the ball at the range. The 4H head bent at the hosel at well, that may have been poor packing in the car though. I really like the irons and I see no reason why the set shouldn't be steel. Most beginners use steel and graphite would make it a cost prohibitive beginner set. More loft in the driver and 3W even would have been helpful... but I understand they have to market the set and beginners like myself quickly noticed that 10.5 is the highest loft of many drivers... so conclusions get drawn whether or not they are correct. I don't this set would sell well with a higher lofted driver. Finally, the bag works. Tough the stand contraption doesn't work well after less than one season. For what it is, it gets the job done and serves its purpose for two hundred. The irons are solid, the putter is good, and I have enjoyed the hybrids though am disappointed one is bent (could have been my error, maybe not, who knows). I wouldn't recommend this product for any one except the first time golfer who is unsure if they will want to keep playing and just wants to try it without doing extensive equipment research and trying to figure out the second hand market. Still need to buy a sand wedge with this set though. I think the 5000 includes a SW. Not recommended for anyone with any experience as I am quickly upgrading my set to better fit my swing and to sets with better quality components.

That's crazy (the dented and broken clubs)!  I have played golf for 30 years (on and off) and I've had at least 10 sets of clubs.  I have never dented a metal head and I only had one clubhead ever come flying off . .and it was one of my Dad's really old wooden 3 woods that I took the range just to play with.  

The amount of club damage you experienced in just one year makes me think this is not a set anybody should be buying.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
