Hello,

I used to golf when I was 18-20 years of age with my grandfathers old clubs. I was pretty good against my friends who had new expensive clubs.

I am now a young businessman who is in a field where sometimes customers meet on the golf course.

I really do not want to overspend on a set of clubs but I want something that is well built and won't break the bank.

Any brands or particular models I should be looking at is great.

i'm still relatively new to the sport.  i believe that just about every major manufacturer has both "tour" clubs (for better players) and "game improvement" clubs (for guys like you and me).  the cool thing about golf is that the 2nd hand market is ENORMOUS.  there are guys/gals that trade out equipment on an annual basis.  this means that you can get your hands on stuff that was deemed in 2011 or 2012 as "the best ever" FOR CHEAP.

or you can get some clubs from around 2008-2010 for next to nothing.  my iron set is a Callaway Fusion set (circa 2006?), and they work fine.  (i spent 150 bucks on the irons and wedges).  i have a Callaway FT9 driver ($40).  i have an Odyssey White Hot #9 putter ($30).  for roughly 200 bucks, i got a pretty decent starter set.  i got everything from craigslist.  as i get better, i will invest in some newer clubs.  at this point, these irons work great for me.

i'm a craigslist beast!  download the craigslist app to your iphone/android and it will make searching even easier!  if you have questions on a particular model, google them or check on this website (using the search feature).  there is a boatload of info available (maybe too much!)

Wilson staff! The staff line is a great line for biggeners and they look sharp. The di11 irons will be great for a player that has trouble getting the ball into the air. They run for around 250 on ebay. woods and hybrids the burner 2.0 series is very forgiving in my eyes with a little ofset i love the hybrid i game it. If you have trouble putting check out a mallet putter i love my 2 ball and i know you can get a older model for around 60 bucks that people still game from 5 years ago. Driver is hard because alot of new golfers hack balls of the tee , pshh i still have a occasional duck of the tee.  If i was looking for a new driver and saved money on the other things i have above i would look at A Titleist 910d2 (get fit),ping g20 taylormade burner superfast. Those are clubs i  think i would like but you and me may have very differnet taste.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
