Hello, I am looking to buy new clubs. I will probably have them for a while so I guess they should be beginner-intermediate level. What exactly should I look for in irons and woods for my level? Also, how long should clubs be relative to your height?

Thanks!

Go with a forgiving club. i suggest you go to your local golf store with a virtual thing and try them out. Go with one that u like the look of and that feels good in your hands and when u hit it.

In my bag

Big Bertha Diablo 3 Wood
Burner 5 Wood AP2 Irons 3-W Scotty Cameron Newport Two Pro V1x Ball

Yeah, I'm a beginner too.

Before you buy anything, you should try the club out first. That way, you can see if the club is too light/heavy for you, etc. Most stores have demo models that you can try.

In my bag:

R540 Driver
Stan Thompson "Ginty" 5 wood
Burner LCG 3-PW, SW, LW putter (mallet) and golf balls

Go demo some clubs it always helps picking clubs out. I have been set on a certain club, went and demoed it and came out something completly different. Get something forgiving or a game improvement.

In my Xtreme Sport bag
'09 Burner 9.5*
F50 15* 3 Wood
Burner 18* 5 Wood
MX-19 4-GW SV Tour 54.12 & 58.08 White Hot 2-Ball SRT

Demo some GI clubs, but I suggest turning to eBay to find a used set. That way, when you get better and look for more workable clubs, you won't have spent much money on a set that you'll outgrow skill-wise. Or you could just get a good set of irons and use them for even longer. I don't know.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
