Aye Carramba! More confused now. But I get the point. Buy what feels good, and something my coach approves. Finding used sets is harder than it sounds, tried Ebay- there's too many variables (shipping etc). Plus I find it hard to know if a brand from 2002 is as good as one today.

That sounds like solid advice, Sai-Jin. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Sai-Jin. I went to a local store, and although they didn't officially fit me, they told me that I need regular length and regular stiffness based on my swing speed. Both of these sets have regular graphite shafts; and I really cant tell the difference (prince has more clubs and is $30 more). I am going for swing analysis/ lesson this weekend. Should I wait until then to buy? Which of the two I mentioned do you think is nicer?

My wife and I are beginners, and are just as confused as everyone else. I have been to the driving range a few times and have played a couple of games of golf. When it comes to buying equipment for sports, I am extremely picky; and eventually want to buy a very nice set if I stick to the game (my favorite driver so far is Taylormade Burner- http://www.taylormadegolf.com/products/drivers/burner-superfast-2.0-driver). For now, we were thing of buying a beginners set we wont mind discarding for cheap next year. I have narrowed down to two sets available at our local club (which will let me try these out for a couple of times with an option of returning): Price Triax XV (http://www.princegolf.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath;=10&products;_id=72) and Orlimar Black Ice (http://www.orlimar.com/blackice.html). Any thoughts?
