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 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
