aight, my grandpa just gave me a 10 degree Callaway Great Big Bertha Hawkeye driver, and seeing as how my entire bag needs to be the same brand if possible, i was wondering what the best clubs to back it up would be. I have been looking at the fusion irons, but im not sure if the cost would be worth it for my price range and what not. also, what woods, the fusion woods look good, but what about quality and results. another thing i thought about..if possible, was getting like a 2-5 or 3-5 in heavenwoods and then 6-wedges in the irons...is that possible...legal?

Any combination of 14 clubs that work for you so you can even have 14 putters if you want ;)

Once I also "believed" that your entire bag should be the same brand; heck, even shoes, gloves, everything

Nowadays I simply get what works for me. So you might want to consider other manufacturers as well (unless you're devoted to Callaway, of course )

Driver: Wilson DD6
Hybrid: TaylorMade Rescue
Irons: Mizuno MP-33
Wedges: Mizuno Tour Style 52/7 and 56/11

Er,Why ? I thought the idea of the game was to play good,ie: the best you can,not have identicle branding throughout ? Seriously unlikely that every product from one manufacturer is going to suit you personally.

Max,do YOURSELF a favour and get whatever works best for YOU.You'll thank people for telling you this......

Good luck and happy golfing.

Unfortunately, some of us may never get the opportunity to see what different clubs work well with us. Pro Shops are not on every corner around here.

I'm a newbie golfer, but I would bet golf is like anything else. Find a good club that feels nice, and MAKE it work for you. I am a believer that while some equipment can be better rated than others, its the PLAYER that counts. I once took $2500 out of a NJ pool hall shooting with house wood. The brand of stick didn't matter. I knew how to use it.

Find a reasonable set of clubs, make them work for you and enjoy!

If you're looking to go all Callaway, consider used clubs. callawaygolfpreowned.com (I think that's the URL) is a used club site operated by Callaway. With the Hawkeye driver, I'd suggest a couple Hawkeye fairway woods (titanium with tungsten sole weight like the driver, very good performers that I used for years), maybe some X-12 or X-14 irons (the best two models of the X-series, IMO). If you go with the X-14 irons, the wedges from the set are pretty good, and the X-14 pro series wedges are excellent (designed by Roger Cleveland, but still match the cavity-back design of the rest of the set).

And if you're going ALL Callaway, maybe an i-Trax putter. Or an Odyssey, since Odyssey (and Ben Hogan and Top-Flite) are owned by Callaway. Good luck!

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
