Answer 1

I believe you'd be looking for *forgiving* clubs, which I have been researching (I'm looking to buy also) over the last few days. In my search for forgiving clubs, I'm drawing the conclusion with: Mizuno mx-23, Mizuno mx-25, Mizuno mx-200 and Taylor Made RAC OS2 which all have amazing reviews. I'm looking for any of the 3 aforementioned Mizuno's.



Look on Ebay, Craigslist and 3balls.com

Answer 2

Choose from a old set of cavity backs like Ping, Taylor made. Calloway..these have been some of the most popular clubs over the last 20 years and it will give you a starting point while saving money getting a swing and then upgrade. the best thing to do is go to a driving range pro shop get as many old 5 irons that they will allow you to hit and see what feels right. But remember, in the long run expensive clubs mean nothing if you don't have the time to hone ur golf skills

Answer 3

If I were just starting out...I would get a set of Ping Eye2 irons, maybe on EBAY. There are several. You must first learn about Ping's measuring system and what color "Dot" you are...Different color dots mean different lie angles ( the angle of the hozzle or shaft to the sole) ....Black being standard, Blue being more upright and Reds being less, I think. Evey golf shop that sells Ping clubs will have this measuring system...Figure what your are and go on a quest.

The reason why I suggest Eye2's are these irons basically changed golf. They are very forgiving irons that can be worked. They maybe be ole' school but spend $200 on a set of Eye2's and take the rest of your $500 and go take a lesson from a teaching pro, including video...and hit hit hit hit hit hit hit........GOOD LUCK !

Answer 4

Believe it or not the bigger the better. The bigger the clubs are at first the more likely you are to hit the ball. After you've learned the ropes the clubs get smaller but, can hit for a much farther range of distance. Good Luck.

Answer 5

If your just starting out buy you a decent 3-wood and use it off the tee. (forget the Driver for the time being ) . if your trying to score low then get a good putter and a decent wedge. Don't worry about the long shots practice your short game (putting and chipping) and even if you don't hit em straight you can then a least post a decent score.

Answer 6

Buy some from a pawn shop or Craig's List. If you're new at it, it doesn't matter how good the clubs are, you'll still suck. At least when you smash your driver over the top of your golf cart you won't be so pissed.
