Buying new clubs.. need help!

[Antho9199]

Hi everyone!

Fisrt of all, excuse me if my english is not that good, I'm a french Canadian! 

So lately I've been searching for new clubs because I can't hit anymore my old ones (Taylormade RBZ reg flex). I'm searching for a set of irons and woods/rescues, but I already have a Driver (Cobra Bio Cell+). I know that I hit a long draw and I'm hitting like 150-155 yards with my PW (no jokes). I tried Callaway XR Pro x-stiff of one of my friend and Taylormade Burner 2.0 stiff, but I didn't get the results I was searching for. I don't know if I should go right now to x-stiff because I know that my swing speed is a bit high and I'm only 16 so I'm still growing but i want to get clubs I will keep at least 2-3 years. I'm also a 9 handicap.

So here's my question: Which clubs should I buy to match my natural draw, with a budget of max 700-800 $

PS: I worked a lot this summer and I want to buy a golf accessory, I already have a Bushnell and I'll maybe buy myself the Game Golf thing but I'm not sure.. I'd like to put approximatly 150$.

Thanks!

Welcome to the site @Antho9199! My wife is half French Canadian, so we are good!

The club selection really shouldn't affect your ball flight as much as you may think. I would recommend hitting a few different models that you like the look, feel and sound of. When you get down to the model you like the best, work with the shop on getting the right shaft for your swing speed. Iron selection is very personal and it is hard to choose for someone else.

We have a lot of iron reviews on this site. Browse through those to get an idea of how we rate them.

There is a Game Golf thread here as well.

The best way is to get fitted.  Get to a good store with equipment and more pertinently good fitters.  Head selection is more personal (player, GI, SGI) but the key is ensuring your clubhead lie and shaft specs suit your swing

I thought it interesting that you said you can't hit your clubs anymore. My first question would be... Were you able to hit them before? And, what changed in your swing that might have caused the issue? I am no expert as a high handicapper and am just learning the game... So I can't really tell you the best way to go with clubs, but I have your exact same set. My only difference is that my hybrid is the Cobra Bio cell and my driver is the Cobra Fly-Z. 

What do you feel like your issue might be? And speaking of experts.... Erik shared a statement in a recent post about equipment that he states it's more about the meat behind the metal (meaning, the golfers swing is more important than the equipment). So, you might think about checking in with swing coach. Evolvr has been a great service to help with my swing. Hope this helps.

At the start of the summer they were all good, but i asume i gained some strenght and i now feel them a bit too soft. My swing changed a bit but i really feel the problem is the flex. Thanks for Evolvr I'll check that out!
