Looking for Beginner set reccomendation

[JML22]

So i'm looking at used sets on some local sites (craigslists/usedvictoria)
anyways the stuff in my price range includes
Taylor made burners OS + for 100 canadian
callaways x16 pro series for 200ish
ping i3s for 300ish
Yeah i know they wont be properly fit but i just need something to practice with for the moment. i have a friend who can help me learn and adjust angles if it is really needed.
I have hit my friends OS burners and thought they felt really nice.
My swing has gotten really messed up and i'm taking a break hoping muscle memory will get me back to where i was but ill prob need to go for some lessons to fix it.
Any input you guys can make will be appreciated
thanks
And yeah i would buy something from rockbottomgolf like IDEA A2s or A3s or something along those lines but i live in canada and shipping across the border is 100+ after taxes and fees and stuff and i'm not too into paying that.

Have you looked at Hirekogolf.com? The Acer XK has been rated a best value in golf. A full set will run about $200 US. I don't know what that would equal after fee's, but they can customize the shaft and lie angles (they charge extra for upgrades) but they would also be a new set, instead of new to you. something to think about.

Yeah i dunno bout buying in the states
its like 55+ shipping + 13% taxes + 40-100 in duties depending on stuff.
I have a driver and 3 cleveland wedges (i've played a lot of pitch and putt in the last couple years)
i just need irons... i've been hitting regular flex CGB racs and its messing up my swing ... I hit TA3s last summer i hit burners for like a month so i just want something that is MINE with stiff shafts. Mainly the thing is stiff shafts.

Adams Golf wide soles irons are really great for begginers.
A couple of days ago I played with a game improvment irons called GO. They were great. Try to find them at any local store because I cannot seem to find them anywhere on the internet.

well what i was really goin fo rwere opinions on burners and x16s
the burner bubbles are 70 bucks now

im a callaway guy, try the preowned callaway outlet... also go to some local clubs/shops etc... and see if you can talk to a pro and see if they have any discounted older sets...

[JML22]

yeah would x 16s be any good for me?

the real qustion right now is
Bubble shafts or steel ones?

I say go to Callaway Preowned (website) and get a good set of clubs in "like new" condition. That is what I did. The Big Berthas are very forgiving. I love them. Mine are 1994 golds. There are several models of Big Bertha irons. I just got a driver from the same website. Looked brand new. Still had stickers on it. Can't beat the Callaway Preowned site in my opinion.

Seems like you like the OS Burners, so I would go with them. They are good clubs, and you already have a rapport with them.

well its just what is availiable for cheap to me right now
if i lived in the states i'd buy something off rockbottom golf and go from there but thats not really worth it for me.
I'd rather buy something cheap now put the rest to lessons from my friends (instructors) to keep them happy and make a trip to seattle and buy something in the future.
Why buy great new irons when my swing blows, and you cat really go wrong when yuo're hitting a shovel the size of my hand lol.
ya know?
