So after recently deciding I want to dive head first into recreational golf (first timer,) I took to the classifieds to try and find a set of 2nd hand clubs that would get me started without dropping any significant amount of money. I'm a lefty, so I figured just finding anything locally would be a big enough challenge, but I proceeded to browse the market anyway. Found a college kid at Auburn University that was moving from his apartment back home to Tennessee and he was just looking to get rid of his gear because he gave up on playing and didn't want it taking up valuable space in the tiny Uhaul trailer he'd rented. Cutting to the chase I wound up with a set of Precise clubs, an original 9* Callaway Big Bertha driver, a Ping Scottsdale putter, a Wilson Augusta putter, and deluxe stand bag complete with rain covers for drivers and fairway metals for a whopping $40. The "set" are Precise model XT420 and include a 12* large head driver, 3, 5, & 7 fairway metals, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 irons, a 24* hybrid, a pitching wedge, and a counterbalance-style putter. Graphite shafts on all Precise brand sticks (except for putter, which is steel shaft.)

  Now I'm not naíve enough to think that this is great equipment, but I feel like it was too good to pass up. I know they're a few years old and discontinued, but they aren't ancient and have very little use. However, I can't really find any useful information on them and I'd like for someone to be able to give me something to go on. Are these clubs worth using to develop a strong foundation with, or are they trash? I can drive with the 1 to about 215 yds (+/-) when I do my part, but haven't really hit with any others yet (just bought a few days ago.)

You only spent $40 on set of clubs that will get you down the road in your golf game. Left handed at that too. 

Good initial investment.

    • Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.
    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
