These are a Costco exclusive for $250 and I think I have decided on them as my "beginners" set. I just wanted to see if I could get more comments on them. You can see them here:

Here's an old thread on the clubs:

I'm really excited and I hope I don't hear horror stories about heads flying off like I have heard with other clubs I had considered getting...

I haven't played with these clubs, but they seem to be fine. Since they are $250, you shouldn't have any problems keeping the heads tightly secured to the shafts. Now would be the perfect time to make some crappy pun about "releasing" the clubhead through impact, but I'll spare you the agony. Your welcome.

Maybe it's because I'm new to golf but I really have no idea what you spared me. :) So you think since they are $250 they should be of a solid quality to not break?

...and the 3 year warranty.

Good point. I can't believe I missed that. Also Costco is really generous about returns, I'm going to go for it.

EDIT: I bought them, they seem really nice. Can't wait to try them out!

Hi there. I too was lookin at getting a complete set as I am a beginner, and some golf shops showed me the Mega PT set and they seemed pretty decent, but this set at Costco was actually cheaper and I would assume was of similar quality. I was wondering how you like them so far. Another good point is that fact that Costco takes anything back if you don't like it.

Exactly. I'm not very good still but from what I've played they seem like a great set of clubs and the bag is very nice (from what I can tell). It is handy that you can wear it like a backpack to make carrying easier, it has legs that automatically fold out to catch it, and includes tons of clubs (including hybrids). It seems like the perfect set to me...

I noticed that the 5 and 6 irons are not cavity backs. I was wondering how those are. Are they easier or harder to hit than cavity back irons? Also, are the woods and hybrids graphite shafted?

I don't have enough experience to tell you how they handle but I can tell you that was one of the reasons I got the set...variety.

I think the wood are graphite shafts and the irons are steel. I'm not sure about the hybrids.

I saw that set at Costco. I think that 5 and 6 are hollow, like a hybrid. If so you'll like hitting those 'yo.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
