A lot of my friends urged me to play golf this year, so I decided to join the team. I've been wanting to play for a while but haven't had the chance. My dad helps me with my swing as I hit balls in the back yard, and I'm getting lessons here soon. So for right now I'd like to find a set of clubs to call my own. I'm looking for something in the $200 range. I've almost narrowed it down to a couple, but I'd like your guys' opinion.

I'm leaning more towards the Wilson but I'd like to see what other people think. TIA

I'd recommend looking for some used clubs. Old G series ping irons (g10 or g15 maybe, not sure on prices) would be a good place to start.

This might be a good place to look, and they are a sponsor of TST. My Son and I have bought clubs from them, and they are good folks to deal with.  Link to some used Ping irons.    http://www.globalgolf.com/golf-clubs/1012894-ping-g10-iron-set/used/?sft=1

My dream is for some day for someone to listen to me and build themselves a set of Maltby TE Forged. They are butter, cut through the turf with ease, and are the most forgiving forged iron I've ever hit. I wish I found them years ago.

I agree with @smellysell .  A better used club will be a better investment.  Ping G10 is an excellent beginner club. I just bought some for my godson.  Go to the used club section of your local store, like Golfsmith, and try some out.  Also, hit the new clubs like Ping G25 or G30 and you will get the idea on how they feel.

A suggestion I always throw out is to get a set of PING Eye2's or ZINGs. They were very popular, so you can usually get what you want -the right color dot- in the $100-150 range. With fresh grips, they are great to learn on, and if you keep the grips fresh, you may never change.

In the bag:

Driver: PING 410 Plus 9 degrees, Alta CB55 S  Fairway: Callaway Rogue 3W PX Even Flow Blue 6.0; Hybrid: Titleist 818H1 21* PX Even Flow Blue 6.0;  Irons: Titleist 718 AP1 5-W2(53*) Shafts- TT AMT Red S300 ; Wedges Vokey SM8 56-10D Putter: Scotty Cameron 2016 Newport 2.5  Ball: Titleist AVX or 2021 ProV1

      My Swing (Zeph)

      The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.

      Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By saevel25 ·

      Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.
