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.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
