Golfers?

JoJoYZF · 03-19-2011, 02:42 PM

Even though motorcycling is far from a cheap hobby, why not have another? I'm looking to finally get back into golfing this season for the first time in a few years and desperately need some new clubs. Any suggestions on a brand or particular set of clubs you prefer? I'm leaning towards a taylormade driver from the little bit that I've used them. Irons/wedges I'm torn on. I'm thinking possibly taylormade, ping or nike but really don't have much experience with them. Putter will just be a newer odyssey to replace my old one. Money is a restriction but I know I can find decent deals at a few places so I'm just looking for something to start looking for. Also I'm by no means a great golfer so if its beginner/intermediate friendly I'm all for it.

Cant speak to the quality of clubs or anything like that. My hand-me-down set is probably 20 years old and still works fine. I will admit though that I have a 60 handicap and my favorite part about golf is that when you rent a golf cart you do get to drive drunk.

IMO it boils down to feel. If you have a golf store around that has a range, go there and try out a few demos. If you like TaylorMade then stick with them for your drivers. I've never heard a complaint about TM. But I'd go play around with some other before settling down.

Taylormade are really good and take time to get a set made for you. If you want to, try Callaway, the price has come down on them and theyt get sets to you a bit quicker. My brother likes his Nike's and I like my Clevelands, dad uses Taylormade and uncle uses Callaway....its all what you are comfortable with and the price you can live with.

I've got a TM driver that I like.

I got a new bag for xmas this year.

My custom pings were by far the best feeling irons I tried when I was looking. G10's. I'd suggest you have a look. Thier fitting options are free as well.

When I played I was a Big PING fan...But that was years ago and I havent swung a club in at least 5 years

I love my Wilson driver. I desperately need a new set of irons. Like really bad. Top of my list are some Cobras. Probably Callaways would be next on my list. Never been a big Nike fan.....
