Best golf setup under 500.00

[mheier]

IDK but you could look at 3balls.com and globalgolf.com for some ideas. They have great prices on new, used, and open box items. Its all going to be opinion based awnsers. I think everyone has there best setup in mind but for < 500...IDK...sorry

Pre-owned 2009 Taylormade Burner $83.93. Pre-owned Callaway x-14 3-p $111.93. Pre-owned Rife black aussie $145.93 Taylormade RAC TP 54*&58* wedges $42.93 each. Taylormade 2008 Burner Hybrid $59.93 All for$487.58. I know it says it's pre-owned but its all inspected and still performs excellent. I'm guessing that your a beginner so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get this used equipment anyways.

go to golfsmith.com then it's all under the pre-owned section.

That's not a bad bag. You could even save some money on the putter. You can buy nice putters cheaper than that to start. But very nice setup.

Ebay is your friend. You just have to know what you are looking for and how to spot a fake and buy from reputable sellers.

I believe that driver is Illegal, the PGA banned it. Correct me if im wrong, but I would be carefull. I think they only banned that XL tour though.

I was thinking from rockbottom.com I could get cleveland gold irons. Adams tight lies wood set, and a nike oz putter

Ebay, as long as you don't get gouged on shipping.

Rockbottomgolf is solid.

Gigagolf(or other conponent retailers) if you like the component route. Or mix it up. As a 20 handi i wouldn't be too worried about OEM throughout the bag. I got a set of irons & wedges via gigagolf for 153$. That would leave me 347 for woods & putter. I could buy brand new TMs for that much.

Rockbottomgolf

Adams Golf- Tight Lies Complete Set With Bag Graph/Steel 249.99 That's about the only complete set i'd ever consider from there. Hacker helper for half the budget.

Cleveland Golf- HiBore XL Tour Driver 89.99

Nike Golf- Dymo Fairway Wood Graphite 69.99

Adams Golf- Idea A3 Hybrid 3-PW Irons Graph/Steel 199.99

Adams Golf- Idea A3 3-Wedge Set 89.99

Odyssey Golf- White Hot XG Marxman Mini Putter 59.99

& that's all brand new. Obiviously if you look around you can get better deals. Wedges, fw woods, hybrids & putters are all available super cheap on various forums.

[JML22]

ya RBG is your best bet
or atleast buy a used set of irons for cheap
i saw a set of R7s for cheap on these forums

[mheier]

OP...check out globalgolf.com/ They are having as sale on all Open Box Items. They have great deals on all clubs.

Exactly what I was thinking... Save a bit on a cheaper putter... Maybe spend the saved cash on a good used fairway wood.

Also, as stated above, RockBottomGolf is another good alternative. I've bought from them a few times and have had nothing but good experiences.

I have gotten my whole set up for less than $500, and while it isn't the latest greatest equipment, it is very high quality stuff that will last me a very long time.

Ping Zing Irons 3-SW $130 pre owned at Golf Galaxy
Ping G2 Driver $65 pre owned at Golf Galaxy
TaylorMade RAC wedge $50 at Dicks
Ping Karsten Zing putter $35 at Golf Galaxy
Ben Hogan CFT 3 and 4 Hybrids $50

I already had a bag, so I'm sitting at about $350 or so for my set of sticks. Look around at your local golf store pre owned section. You can find some good stuff!

I have bought a couple things from 3balls and Golfio as well. For big retailers check out TGW and Golfsmith for the occasional steal. Nothing wrong with RBG either.

Here: 3balls
http://www.3balls.com/product-produc...-IRONS-RH-USED (sweet deal on sweet clubs IMO) $150 Adams A3OS

3balls
http://www.3balls.com/product-produc...RIVERS-RH-USED $80 driver Callaway FT5

3balls
http://www.3balls.com/product-produc...AIRWAY-RH-USED $70 3 wood Nike Sumo2

3balls
http://www.3balls.com/product-produc...PUTTER-RH-USED $30 putter Odyssey Rossie

3balls
http://www.3balls.com/product-produc...WEDGES-RH-USED $60-80 Vokey SW

$390-410 less 10 percent on some of the items for buying multiple. $100+ to spare and you have a great starting point.

edit...these are all regular flex shafts.
