Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have always golfed here and there and enjoyed the game. I've just used an older set of wilson's that have taken their fair share of abuse over the years. This summer I should have more time to get out and want to get a newer set of clubs. I am by no means good at golf and do not need a set of graphite shafts or anything. I'm simply looking for a complete set of clubs that will be somewhat forgiving. I am trying to spend sub $400 for a set. Do you guys have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I bought my first real set last year. Guy sold me a set of Ping Zing 2 irons, plus knock-off Callaway driver and 3 wood for $380 Then I bought an Odyssey White Hot #1 blade putter for about $100 That's not really a recommendation from me since I don't golf much and I'm pretty sh*tty at it, but that's what the guy recommended to me Quote Link to comment

T_O_Bull Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have a set of Ping I-9 irons and can throw in a good driver and 3 wood. $400.00 and they are yours Lyns. T_O_B Quote Link to comment

T_O_B I've never heard of Ping i9 model. I'm not calling you a liar, I just game Pings and am a pretty big fan and have never seen them. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I can't hit a driver, but used to be able to hit a 3 wood about 280-290 with pretty good accuracy Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I spent way too much money on the set I have, but I have Nike's. I actually went to the golf store and hit several clubs in the practice area before I chose this set. Nike Slingshot OSS irons, Odyssey White Hot 2-ball putter, and Nike Sasquatch 1, 3, and 5 wood. The Slingshot has a very forgiving area on the face of the irons that is helpful during your rounds. Maybe see if you can search the internet for an older set that's been taken care of?

MLB 51 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Same here. I can crush a ball with a 3 wood. 1 wood, not so much. Quote Link to comment

I can putt. Chipping and pitching, not too bad either. I just can't drive the ball with a 1 wood. Might be the club, or it might be me. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 No one calls it a 1 wood anymore. Hahah Quote Link to comment

I can putt if there's a clown's mouth and a windmill, but on a real golf course, I putt for sh*t... oh, and now that I know that I used to be able to hit a 3w farther than Rory can now, suck it rich dude...
