My girlfriend has been getting more into golf lately and we've made Saturday day our day of golfing. She's currently using my old set up clubs which are my grandfathers old clubs from the 70's. Needless to say, they're too long and too heavy for her to even begin swinging correctly.

She bought a new putter and a new bag recently, and now she's looking to buy some irons/hybrids to replace the old hand-me-down clubs.

Her limit is $300 and she'd prefer to spend about $250. She's happy to buy a used set if she can find some good clubs at a good price. She's looking to buy all the clubs needed for under $300. We're thinking 3-5 hybrid, 6-9 irons, PW, SW, and a driver. We don't care if they come in a complete set, we just need to total for all those clubs coming in under $300.

Are there any new sets out there we should look at? Or perhaps there's some good set on eBay right now we should take a look at? She's been checking craigslist but she said she hasn't found anything yet.

I'd put a WTB ad in the marketplace. It can't hurt. Someone has to have bought their wife clubs hoping she would take up the game and instead they sit in the garage.

Thanks for the link. That set meets our needs and our price. Question though... are those even decent?

We're looking at a used set of Adams A2 OS clubs on eBay right now and I feel like the ADAMS would be better quality. She may not continue to play this game, so we don't want to blow a bunch of money on clubs she may never use again, but if she does keep playing I don't want her being stuck with really low quality clubs. I think I've seen that set before, but the Wilson name keeps throwing me off :).

Thanks. I just submitted a WTB thread and I'll see if anyone has anything to sell :)

Wilson is a good and underatted name in golf. Padriag Harrington doesn't seem to have a problem winning with Wilson clubs.

For the price, Wilson is not bad at all. If she got into the game to the degree that these clubs won't be suiting her anymore, you can switch to something better later on. But for now I think these would be good.

Also I can vouch for rockbottomgolf is that a concern of yours. Bought from them twice and both times everything went perfect.

    • 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.       
    • 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?
