Wedge sets.. -- Any difference between the 2 besides color? I think the silver set might have a better shaft , but not sure

I would go with these because you have a choice in loft and flex for your fairway wood from rockbottomgolf.com. I prefered the wedges with the black finish because of no glare.

are those irons ok?? they just seemed really cheap for what the are, and i dont wanna end up bending a shaft or some sh!t..

As for the woods.. im really stuck between the callaway x and the adams hybrid 3 .. Only 50 bucks but how does it compare to a standard 3w

The adams irons are just as good as any other. If you break one of those, you'll have broken any other brand. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The hybrid 3 is made to replace a 3 IRON, not a 3 WOOD. A 3 wood usually will go quite a bit farther, anywhere from 30-50 yards.

Your are comparing two different woods. The Callaway is a fairway wood and the Adams is a hybrid type wood. The Callaway will go farther and lower than the hybrid . I have both a 3 wood and a hybrid, I took by 5 wood out and replaced it with a hybrid.

Actually, the adams fairway he linked to is a hybrid-fairway. It's adams version of a 3 wood.

I know the same sounds a bit confusing, but it is a 15* lofted 3 wood, just a little bit shorter in length (which is where the hybrid part comes from)

I think for $89 it's worth a try. Maybe I'll go to the golf store and demo it myself. It seem to have an offset on that wood to help out slicer.

Adams irons ftl in my opinion.

Adams 3 wood/hybrid soso.

Taylormade R7 clubs ftl in my opinion.

everyone of thoze putters you linked do NOT i re-peat DO NOT have a low bounce high roll ability as claimed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I play henry-griffitts Iron and Driver with a cobra 20 degree baffler and a un thought of MacGregor mini GT putter (low bounce high roll)

When you gain experience and can properly control the flight pattern of the ball, any clubs with un-even weight distribution, such as most new taylormade irons and drivers and many other companies with removable weights, you will wish you had spent better money on clubs the first time.

In all honesty being a leisure player is great but leisure time is supposed to be fun, playing a bad round CONSTANTLY due to wrong club selection sucks. SO take it from me please, go see a golf pro at your local course and have him analyze your swing with a set of their generic clubs they have on hand. Then have the instructor point you in the right direction in your budget range, Because honestly nobody on here can recommend you the right set of irons/driver/putter because we dont know your swing style habits or distance.

I agree with you. We can talk golf all day but we can't see your ball flight and can't really recommend what is best for you. I can only give you my best opinion based on what was offered. I was into all the technology and hype but everyone has a different swing and not all clubs will work out.

No i get, and i know its hard..

I just am going to have to make my a3os irons work, if i slice , ill have to correct myself, not the club, especially in the beginning .. But what i can tell u is that my slice is pretty bad... And i know a little of what im doing wrong, and im getting 10 weeks of lessons starting in a week or so to get myself on track and corrected .. My swing is not right .. im not getting a full turn at all with my hips, its all upper body which is really messing me up..

AS of now my ball speeds are

85-90 with a 5 iron i was shooting around that a club maker wanted me to try

and around 100 with my driver

I used to slice alot when I first started like most beginner. I never took golf lesson and I learned from going to the golf range alot to stop my slice. Now that I'm better I would like to get some golf lessons to help with my short game (shots under 100 yards).

When you get better you will know what clubs you will like more. I think I changed putter the most and the least would be my wedges.

 

[hzsogood 5,000+ posts]

and your thinking the black adams wedge set for $80 will be good enough for me to get my game descent..

And i was NOT going to get lessons, but people tell me since im so new to the game it would be a good thing to have a pro tell me what im doing wrong and to learn the right way before i go on my own and get accustomed to a bad swing, posture etc..

So how long does it usually take to get the slice out of your swings... Some i hit 250 yards perfect some are 300 yards sliced and some are off the top.. Im just so inconsistent... I would hope after a few months i could get a drive that goes straight most of the time, and a descent iron game.. But it seems the morre i practice driving i get tired , sore, and end up getting worse.. and pissed off usually
