A little background...I played golf for fun in middle school and high school but upon getting to college gave it up for other "activities" haha. I was never particularly good so I am probably back at square one at this point. I am now looking to get back into it since I am graduating this spring and am in the process of building a bag.

Trying to keep it under $1000 and build a bag I can grow into. What I have picked out so far...not purchased but pretty sure this is what I want.

Rocketballz Irons 2012 4-PW & AW: $450

R-11s TP Driver: $260

Rocketballz 3 Wood 15*: $160

What do you guys think and what do you think I should add to complete the bag? Obviously need a putter but anything else?

56 degree sand wedge(I am a big fan of mine below) and a 5 wood. Or you could go with a 3 Hybrid, but probably the 5W.

:tmade:(10.5) :pxg:(4W & 7W) MIURA(3-PW) :mizuno:(50/54/60)

i would recommend a hybrid/utility wood in the 19-21 degree range. something that you can hit around 200-220 if your irons are not there. also another wedge (depending upon what degree your 'AW' is)

as far as putters go, i think its crucial to get a style/type that you are comfortable and put well with. there is basically no technology in putters so get something you put well with. you can go to Dicks or Sports authority and putt around all day sampling the different styles.

Think I am going to end up going with...a lot of Rocketballz. Hope I don't look too much like a tool.

Rocketballz Driver 10.5*

Rocketballz 3W 15*

Rocketballz Iron Combo 3H, 4H, 5-PW

Odyssey White Ice #3 Putter

I will fill in the wedges when I get the PW down.

Thanks for the responses! I think I will be glad I switched to the 3H, 4H

I don't know if I want to give advice to a knicks fan... Go WARRIORS! But since you are around a 20 handicap I would not reccomend a 3wd. Try a 4wd, it will be a lot easier to get it up in the air and will most likely go further for you. The rocketballz 3wd was already low launching and a 4wd would just help a little. Other than that all I would add would be a sandwedge. If you like the feel of the rocketballz you can get a rocketballz sandwedge also. Good luck getting back into the game.

In my bag

R9 TP 8.5* Voodoo XStiff shaft

RBZ Stage 2 3wd 14.5* diamana kaili XStiff

Adams Idea black hybrid 18* Project X 6.5

Ping I20's 4-P KBS Tour XStiff

Vokey SM4 49*, 59*

Older Vokey 54*

Scotty Cameron Newport 2

Thanks for the advice...even though I'm a knicks fan haha. Injuries are killing us this year so you don't have much to worry about!

I will look into the 4 wood. Placing my order now. The handicap was just a number I put in to get past the page. I really have no idea what it is but I am sure it is up there haha.

Great choice of irons, and the RBZ 3 wood is awesome, but I'm not sure someone of a 20 handicap needs a TP driver...

But anyway, the setup I would go for (and the one I use)  is,  driver, 3 wood, 3 hybrid, 4-aw irons, 54 degree wedge, 58 degree wedge, and putter.

Driver: :tmade: Burner '08 10.5* 3 wood: :tmade: Rocketballz 15* 3 hybrid: :tmade: Burner Superlaunch 18* 4 hybrid: :tmade: Rescue 11 21* Irons: :tmade: Burner 1.0 5-AW Wedges: :vokey: Spin Milled 54* :cleve: CG16 58* Putter: :odyssey: 2 Ball Blade Grips: Golf Pride VDR white Balls: :titleist: Velocity Bag: :tmade: Audi bag

      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.
