Hi there,

I'm new here and pretty new to club and I'm looking for some advice and expertise from you guys as I'm totally no idea what a good deal is for clubs.

I'm looking to buy the following and would like to know what I should expect to pay for such a set.

Callaway X Hot Driver

Callaway X Hot 3 Wood

Callaway X Hot 3 iron Hybrid

Callaway X Hot irons 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW, SW & LW

How much would I be expecting to pay?

Also would you say the Callaway X Hot LW is a better wedge than the Callaway Forged copper wedge?

Thanks in advance for your help and advice

Keith

Thanks I will do but what would you say is a good price?

Would £829 for the lot sound ok to you?

Do your research and shop around as the X-hot Driver and FW have dropped in price.

I've been looking around for a good few days now and have had a lot if different quotes that's why I'm asking what you guys would expect to pay for them now.

Would you say £829 for the lot is good?

If that's about $1,300 US, it sounds reasonable.

Yes it is pretty much bang on $1300 US when you convert it. Its the cheapest I found them on the internet in the UK, It's went from £933 all the way down to £829 so maybe that is the best I'm going to get was just checking in case you guys knew of something I didn't.

Didn't want to buy them then find out I could've got them for sub £800 if I'd only asked the experts.

Cheers Mr. Desmond I think I'll just go with that website and buy them

I'm not sure of your playing background. Are you new to golf this season, or just starting to play regularly after an introduction in previous years?

If you are just starting, have you had any lessons? Learning the basics can help most people improve quickly in golf.

Do you own any clubs right now? If so, what kind are they (model and shaft flex).

If you are going to get the Callaway XHot group or any other clubs, be sure you hit them first before you buy them. Have a local fitter do a static fitting to see if you need any tweaks to the clubs such as longer or shorter shafts, change to lie angle, or thicker grips.

Wedges: The best wedge is the one that feels best for you. Some golfers like the higher wedges (G, S and L) that come with an iron set. Others like the specialty wedges (ones not directly connected to iron set).

Focus, connect and follow through!

You asked about price, but I also agree with WUTiger.

I hope you've demoed them and were fit somewhere at a green grass or retail account before going to the web to find them.

Also, make certain they are authentic Callaway - lots of fakes going around - make certain the retailer is an authorized Callaway Dealer.

As to wedges, the XHots run strong to loft, so I'd seriously consider buying the gap wedge in that set (49 degrees of loft) and then a 56. I'd probably avoid the XHot Wedge as it may be a bit bulky. I'm not a big fan of the Callaway Forged - but I'd probably opt for the 56-11 - if you want Callaway set. The Callaway Forged will be more precise and direct in feel. Playing over there, my guess is you do a lot of bump and runs so a 60 LW is not mandatory. It depends on your level of skill.

Callaway is a good brand, so they aren't cheap. You get what you pay for. However I absolutely LOVE my irons. Dropped 5 strokes immediately. Getting the driver soon.

I have the x hot driver, 3w, 3h, 4h, and 5h and love them all.  I don't have to swing hard to get good distance.  I'd recommend these clubs.

    • For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...  
    • Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?
    • Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }
    • Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
