I am looking to buy my first golf club set. I have previously used my fathers set, and then my mothers which is too short for me and is 17 years old. Im surprised I even reached a 20 handicap with this Mitsubishi MV2 set!

I know my clubs need to be regular length and regular-stiff flex. I want these clubs to last 5 years before I upgrade. Here is my pick:

Wilson Prostaff 11 piece set http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Mens-Pro-Staff-Piece/dp/B0021L8WJM (except for $179.99)

Nike everclear E-22 putter http://shop.pgatour.com/clubs/nike/putter/everclear-e22/p_pd-1019662.aspx?gd=1 .

Callaway Stand-Bag: http://shop.pgatour.com/bag/callaway/stand/hyperlite-40/p_pd-1018585.aspx?opt=aad&gd;=2

Is this set suitable for me?

Are there any other sets for under $300 in total which you would reccommend?

In my personal opinion, If your looking for a hybrid set of clubs,  for $300 you could buy a set of barely used Adams clubs , like the AOS 3, AOS4 or AOS7 for that price and you will be very pleased... I found my set , like new on Ebay and won the auction for $189.00 .. When I got them I hated the 3,4,5 cause they were too big and I sold them back on ebay for $80. ..So I ended up paying $109 for the Adams 6-pw... It has been the best hundred bucks i ever spent...  I recommend going to your local golf store and hitting a few different clubs to see what you like....If you have a Dick's Sporting Goods anywhere near you, go and check out the line of Adams

.........In My Bag........
Driver = FT-IQ Tour
2,3,4 = Iron/Wood = Bazooka Jmax

Putter = T.P. Mills
Irons = A4 OS..Wedges = Pure Spin..Cart Bag = .....Stand Bag = Bennington

Unfortunately I live in Belgium, which does not have many golf stores. I did find shops where they do club fitting in the Netherlands, but they do not have any clubs that I would want to buy. The ones they do have costs about $500 online, except in the shops it costs about 1000 euros. I also want new clubs, dont like buying second hand equipment. They dont have a large range of brand names as well.

Ive decided to go to a club fitting store. I believe the Callaway X-20 irons are a better choice than the wilson prostaff set, especially after hearing that a customer bought the set, and after a couple of hits the driver had a dent in it. One such quality review is enough for me to turn away. But now I have a problem with filling my bag with a clubs. Only irons 4-AW I need a driver, hybrid, putter and SW. Any recommendations based on this?

Ive decided I am perpared to spend $500 in total for quality. 300 on irons, 90 on putter, 110 on driver, and shit, i have no hybrid or SW

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
