Hi, im new to the sport of golf and am interested in purchasing a good driver,

.... Clubs are like cars ... some prefer a Lexus, others love a Caddy, some will live and die for a BMW, it's a matter of personal taste ... With golf clubs, it's a matter of feel and touch .. The best thing you can do is find some stores in your area and check them out ... many stores will rent them for a week, some already have demo's in stock and places like "Second Swing" will lend them out for 2 or 3 days with the proper ID .... Ask 30 people what the best car on the road is and -- you'll get 30 different answers ..l.o.l....

get the nike driver... its cheap now because it has been replaced bye the ugly sasquatch... its the nicest and newest of anything on that list

Agreed, I'd go with the Nike (or possibly the TaylorMade 320).

-Tommy Armour #4 Hybrid, 21* loft

let's disect this list..

Tommy Armour - out. It's not a driver, 21deg is more like a 7W. Powerbilt, Vseries, Pro Select : out. If you say they're about the same price - don't go with no-names. I'm always for getting older model of a brand name than a clone. That leaves us with PING, TM 320 and Nike. Since you're just starting - I'd go with the Nike 460. Big, forgiving, newest design of these three. I'd suggest the same approach to irons - look around ( God Bless eBay ) for older model of brand-name clubs before you settle for a clone... There is a difference why manufacturing cost of a clone is few hundreds dollars cheaper Good luck.

and what about these irons, any good?

My first set of irons were King Snake irons. I had them for 7 or 8 years. To be honest, I didn't play much worse then than I do now. I shot a round or two in the 70s, and I shot a lot in the lower 80s. If you can get them for very cheap, I don't see why you can't give them a chance. They can at least hold you over until your handicap improves.

On the other hand, as Rafi said, EBay has great deals on irons all the time. You might be able to find an older set of name-brand irons for the same price or just a little more than the King Snakes. I still have the King Snake irons, how much are they asking for the ones you are thinking of getting?
