I used a borrowed set of Pings for a couple years, but now want to purchase my own clubs. I was seriously looking at a set of Adams Idea a2 OS clubs… but the price just for a hybrid/iron set is 9. That’d leave me to purchase a 3 and 5 wood at about 0 each, a driver at about -200. Plus a bag at another -100, and a putter at about . That’s -900… more than I was thinking of spending.
I wanted to use a hybrid set since I (like other beginners) have trouble with the long irons. I checked on some used clubs, but for hybrids I found that the used irons aren’t much cheaper (read: ) than the new set. For drivers and fairway woods, I can get some good deals. Putters are a wash.
The irons I am considering: http://www.adamsgolf.com/Ideaa2a2OSHybrids.htm
If you can suggest hybrid irons, or a complete set of irons, woods, and driver… that would be nice. (I’ll probably pick up a couple wedges and putter separately, and I can manage picking out the bag).
I’ve been looking for a set of irons. There’s so much to choose from it’s almost overwhelming. I think I have the decision down to two sets. Adams or Taylormade.
The Adams Extreme II, 3-pw, sw, lw. I have never used a sw or lw. And I quit carrying 3i and 4i in my bag since I bought a 4H. They are 0.
The Taylormade set is rac HT 5-pw. I can get the optional sw for another . I already have a 4H but, can pick up the matching Taylormade Hybrids for about 0 a piece. This set is 0.
I’m a beginner for the most part. I’ve only played about a dozen times. I’ve got a bag, driver and putter besides the hybrid.
The question is which set of irons would last longer, give more consistant feel and be more valuable in the long run?
I’m not really concerned about showing off a brand name in my bag. Just want to enjoy the game.
I understand what some of you are saying about learning is more important than the equipment. But, guys the clubs I was given are literally older than me. And I’m 35. They are an old set of Dunlops that came from a K-mart. The bag is dry rotted. The grips are all completely worn out. It’s not worth the money to put new grips on a set of clubs that were given to me because he stopped by my house on the way to goodwill and I snagged them off his truck. If they were at the Goodwill, they’d be selling for about a a club.
“Good players I see have soft arms and let the club swing rhythmically,” says Dave Phillips, Titleist Performance Institute cofounder. With a longer putter, “anchor the putter, take a pencil grip, keep light grip pressure and let your shoulders rock back and forth.” With the belly putter, “in an athletic setup posture, create an anchor with the handle and simply rock your shoulders. Whenever you anchor a putter, you stabilize the putter…you need to make sure you have good thoracic spine rotation to do this.” Phillips also shared 3 instructions for better putting: “I see a lot of players working too much on stroke. That is not going to get the ball in the hole. The key to being a great putter is learning how to read greens, how to hit the ball at the right pace and speed, and how to hit your spot that you pick with your putts.”
I’m playin in a 2 man scramble and you can only use 3 clubs and a putter per person. No sharing clubs. I was thinking 3 hybrid, 6 or 7 iron and a 54 degree wedge. The course isn’t to long. What should I use?
im buying a xmas present for my friend whos an avid golfer. im buying him an odyssey putter #7 however im not sure what size putter to get him, the putter ranges from 33-36inches in height. hes 17yos and his height is 6’2". i dont want to ask him what size putter he uses since that will kill the surprise. i dont want to get him a putter thats too short or too long as that might mess up his game. any suggestions on what size putter to get him?
