I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I am a beginning golfer that has outgrown his 2000 Dunlop Surpass starter set (I get sick even looking at it) and I am looking to complete a set for Spring, since Northwest New Jersey's harsh winters do not allow for golf to even be thought about being played during this time of year.
In any event, I wanted to get the board's opinion on selection. I know everyone will have different views on OEM equipment, but that is part of why I am posting this. Some may have two choices. In those cases, would you be so kind as to offer input.
Driver:
Callaway Big Bertha 460 10 degree Regular Flex Aldila NVS Graphite Shaft (This one is a no doubter. The club just felt right and the results corroborated that feeling)
3 Wood:
Nike Sasquatch 2 Graphite Fairway Wood
15 degree loft Regular Flex with a Diamana Sasquatch Graphite Shaft
Callaway Big Bertha Fairway Wood
16 degree loft and Big Bertha Graphite Shaft Regular Flex. I am torn between the two as both are really comfortable. I will ask for input from the forum on which you feel is the better club
Hybrid Club (Replacing 5 Wood)
Again I have narrowed it down to the following two clubs:
MacGregor Mens MACTEC NVG2 Hybrid UT Wood
with 20 degree loft and a Fujikura Triple Action Graphite Shaft Regular Flex
PING Mens G5 Hybrid Utility Woods with 19 degree loft and a Aldila NV85 Hybrid Graphite Shaft Regular Flex
Irons
Nike Slingshot OSS 4 - AW
with Steel Shaft Regular Flex
Tour Edge Bazooka JMax QL
3-4 Hybrid (Regular Flex Aldila NVS Graphite Shaft and 5-PW with Tour Edge Rifle Steel Shaft
I was able to feel comfortable with both, so I will need alot of input with this one.
Wedges
Adams Mens Tom Watson Satin Wedge Sets with a 52 Gap Wedge, 56 Sand Wedge and 60 Lob Wedge (great value for all 3 clubs for 80 dollars)
Putter
Odyssey White Hot 2-Ball Putters Center Shaft 34 inches length
Cart Bag
Ogio Chaos Bag Chiaro Blue/Silver
Any input from you is greatly appreciated.
