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.

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.

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

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
