Hi All,

Basically im a beginner to golf, saying that i have played the game maybe 1-2 times a month and keep pace with a mate who plays off of 18. Ive been playing with non branded chinese clubs that i picked up for $80 for the whole set, mainly because i couldnt see the point in spending much considering i wasnt playing much. However now i am looking at taking up golf weekly and hopefully start to play more often and start to work away on my handicap. Now for the question im looking for clubs that are forgiving and will improve my game and i have come down to a choice between two sets of irons, the Callaway Razr xf irons or the Callaway X hot 2 irons. Basically im curious about which irons would be best for me, and which you would suggest to someone that is looking for high quality clubs to keep in the bag for a long time. Im looking at these because im going to buy them from the Callaway PreOwned shop. Any and all suggestions and reccomendations will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Your best bet is to go to a demo days or a store with the equipment to give you a good fitting. That being said, mizuno, ping, titleist are all great clubs that will last a long time.

If you are located in USA, I would say visit the demo days.

Also, try to find a golf clinic, which offers lowcost lessons to groups of beginners.

Or, you could find a teaching pro, take individual lessons, and have him help you find a set of clubs that fits what you need. Basically, you want to be able to test-hit the clubs you buy, to see if you can use them - can't test first if you buy online.

We had another beginner last week ask pretty much the same question.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • 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). 
    • First Birdie of the year at Links of Sandpiper in Lakeland Fl, 450ys Par 5, Pulled driver to left rough trying to cut corner, Left myself 194 in uphill, hit my 5 iron to 8 feet. Unfortunately greens were in terrible shape and it was a sliding right to left putt, hit a nasty piece of dead spot and hopped left for a missed eagle putt with a 6 inch tap in for bird.
