What are the best set of golf clubs for a beginner?
I am a young man and I am trying to get into the game of golf. Considering the expense of buying a set of golf clubs, I want to make sure I am buying the right kind. I need an entire set, irons, driver, putter, etc. Which brand and models would be bets for me if I was trying spend under 400 dollars?
First of all, $400 will be plenty for a brand new set. If you do decide to go for brand new, Wilson and Dunlop both make good beginner’s set. I personally recommend Wilson, because my first set (Wilson) is still usable, while my brother’s (Dunlop) is already half broken. But, if there’s a Costco Wholesale nearby, I would recommend go in there and get the “Nicklaus” set (designed by the Golf legend Jack Nicklaus). It includes everything from Driver to Hybrid, irons, putter and a nice looking stand bag. The clubs are very well made. And it only cost around $200.
However, if you prefer to choose name brands, such as TaylorMade, Titleist, Callaway, Mizuno…etc. I would recommend a used set, not necessarily the beat-up ones, but just not brand new. This way, you can expect to beat them up as you get better and not worry about damaging a brand new set. And it cost around $200-$300. However, in this case, you’d have to buy the driver, putter and bag separately, because name brand clubs don’t usually come in a complete set.
Couple of beginner used models I would recommend is Callaway X-16 (or X-18), Ping Eye 2, Nike Slingshot, and all the Mizuno MX series.
When you are shopping, pay attention on couple of characteristics of Beginners clubs: large club face (sometime oversize is ok too), more cavity-back, which offers great Forgiveness (meaning off-center shots will go straight too), more off-set angle between club face and the shaft (easier to hit).
And one last tip, since you are a young dude, don’t get graphite shafts, they are for girls and seniors.
Hope this helps, have fun!
