I am fairly new to golf and I have a cheap set of golf clubs. I am developing my swing and I've been told its decent for a beginner. My problem is that I often hit thin or off the toe, sometimes missing or rolling on top of the ball. There's alot to be done with my swing but I'm 6'6" and I think my clubs are possibly too short. I cant afford a custom fitted set and I don't want to waste the time on cheap clubs. I found some Cleveland CG4 irons with a taylormade r7 driver for 75 bucks and I could add 1 to 1.5 inches to them. What are your thoughts?

There are places that will give a free fitting if you purchase a set of clubs is one thing. As for your swing we really need to see your swing. 6’6 means it’s very possible you need longer than standard length clubs or longer than what you’re playing. Create a post  in the ‘My Swing’ thread of your swing. Just film a down the line and face on. Upload it to YouTube then copy/paste the link in that post. There are other reasons for your thin/top shots that may have nothing to do with the length of your clubs. Hope this helps. Cheers.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
