Hey everyone,

I need a new set of clubs so that I don't have to keep sharing one set with my younger brother.

Also, some of the irons in the set are too short for me to really play comfortably.

When I posed the idea to my parents of me buying my own set of clubs they said: "great I have a coupon to sports authority, lets go buy another of the 180$ complete sets"

So, that is NOT what I want to do, I would like to have nicer, fitted clubs that I can play with and progress with for the next few years.

My only problem is that I need to find a set that can compete with the value of a full 180$ set, and I am not allowed to buy used.

I like the idea of ordering through giga golf and using their e-fit system.

I like the looks of the trx v.11 irons and for 159 for an iron set 3-pw it seems like great value.

I am also planning on getting the TRX ti pearl driver (I love the look of the white-topped head) and an SGS 56 and 60 degree wedge.

I would like to get a hybrid but may leave that for a birthday present and try my luck with the long irons, if I want a hybrid sooner I can always borrow one out of the old set.

Same plan with the 3 and 5 wood.

What do you guys think about the value and quality of these items for the set?

I think they will definitely be an improvement over my current Axial Ram set, and they come in right about 300$ total, which is the maximum I am really looking to spend.

Thanks for all your input,

Sebastian


I started playing last May with a RAM G Force Tour starter set. After 5 months or so I replaced them with the following from Gigagolf: A driver which they no longer sell, not sure which TBH. A GXi 3 Wood TRX MR Control Irons 3-PW SGS 52.06 SGS 58.12 (I kept the RAM putter) I'm incredibly pleased with them. The custom fitting made a huge difference for me, and and i think as a beginner getting custom fit clubs is important because otherwise you will compensate for the club and learn a bad swing. Where else are you going to get that for $150/iron set? I would recommend Gigagolf clubs to anyone, but especially someone in your situation. I also will caution you that the bag I got from them kind of sucks. Its wearing out pretty quick and the fabric on one of the shoulder straps has unraveled to reveal the white foam insides (to be fair I've been playing a ton and uaually walking). They also originally cut the shaft on one of my wedges too long. They were really nice about it and fixed it promtly for me. Clubs are great though, I would buy them again.

    • Day 2 (4 Apr 25) - played in the weekly men’s group shootout.  Decent day off the tee and most longer approaches.  Wedges from 70-80 out were off, but green side work was good. Overall a fun day with the crew.  
    • $50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse  as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic.
    • Day 13: 4/4/25 Stack Full Speed Spectrum training session.
    • Day 186 - 2025-04-04 Worked before lessons this morning. Not a long time as the first lesson arrived pretty early.
    • Strata are decent clubs for newbies, usually furnished in a complete boxed set, with putter and bag. They're an excellent way to get going in the game and to see if you want to stick with it. If you don't, you're not out too much money but if you want to progress, you should get fit and buy better clubs with newer technology that will help you out. Most places I know of (ie: Golf Galaxy / PGA Store) charge you for the fitting which is then credited back to you when you buy the clubs, so it's essentially free. (I know GG does that...not sure about PGA.) Once you have clubs that fit you rather than you having to maybe contort yourself to fit the clubs (depending on your height/arm length/swing characteristics) you can progress and get better. Ultimately though, as the saying goes, "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian."
