I am looking to buy a set of clubs. I don't want a beginner set because I don't plan on being a "beginner" for long. What are some good affordable sets? I've heard Adams, and Ben Hogan. I have also been looking at rockbottomgolf.com. Also, what does "stiff" mean when referring to clubs? What are the advantages, disadvantages to using "stiff" clubs?|||Its difficult to advise you on clubs without a budget but here goes
I would look at Ebay first, 3balls and golfetail as preferred sellers
You should consider these Nike Sumo squared
http://cgi.ebay.com/Nike-SQ-Sumo2-SQUARE鈥?/a>
They are great clubs that are new and would retail at 1200 plus and offer the 4,5,6 and 7 as hybrids which are easier to hit than long irons. The 8 thru gap wedge are traditional irons, these are beautiful clubs that will last you a lifetime.
Add a Nike SQ Sumo 5900 square driver and your set.

Now to your question about shaft flex, you decide the flex based on your swing speed, the faster the swing speed the stiffer the shaft should be. If you are younger than opt for stiff, whereas if you are older than choose regular or senior flex.
Clubs may help but its the indian and not the arrow, so the best advice is to start out right with some lessons before you learn bad habits. The focus should be on fundamentals primarily grip, stance and alignment. A lot of your time practicing should be spent chipping and putting. Drive for show but putt for dough
Good Luck|||Have you looked into Clone clubs? similar to name brand clubs, replicated by other companies, ideal for intermediate golfers.

"Stiff" refers to the flex of the shaft. A club with a Stiff shaft will give greater resistance to bending during the swing. This is primarily for golfers with a high swing speed. If you are a beginner, I would suggest sticking with regular flex clubs.
Rock bottom is a purveyor of outdated golf equipment. This is not to say their stuff isn't good.... it's just a few seasons old. The technology in golf is constantly changing, so once something new comes out, the value on the older stuff drops.
As a beginner, you definately don't need the newest, top of the line clubs on the market. You would even be safe with clubs 5-10 years old, provided they are in good condition.|||First of all, "stiff" refers to the flex of the shaft. The flex determines how the shaft loads and unloads during the back-swing and down-swing. Stiffer shafts tend to be heavier and just feel harder.
It doesn't end there though. Shaft ratings also include the Torque measurement (for graphite shafts) which has a lot to do with how the shaft reacts and feels. Torque is measured in degrees. Less degrees, harder shaft.
For example, a shaft rated stiff with 6 degrees of torque will feel and play softer than a shaft rated regular with 2 degrees of torque.
Weight and tip stiffness also have a lot to do with how the shaft will play.
Stiffer shafts tend to be biased more toward accuracy. If you're a fast swinger, your accuracy will improve with stiffer, heavier shafts.
If you're a slow swinger, playing shafts which are too stiff for your swing can cause considerable loss of distance and usually slices (left to right for right handed players).
This is caused by the shaft not unloading properly, leaving the club head open. Result - slice.
You'd be better off with clubs that can grow with your game. A more forgiving driver and irons that will give you some help, but won't bias things too much for you.
Custom fitting is an excellent option for most amateurs. We need the extra help that much more than the pros.
Hope this helps|||To start with the latter part of your question, the flex terms 'stiff' and 'regular' could vary according to maker. For example, Callaway club's stiff shafts could be a regular by Titleist's standards. Its best to get fit for your clubs or, if you do order them online, make sure you get an expert to check the specs on the clubs and adjust them to your swing.
Beginner clubs really don't give you the enjoyment of hitting the ball as the mid to low handicap ones do IMO. Look at the Ben Hogan Apex, Callaway X series clubs (X-18 to X-22 are good ones), or Mizuno MP-60s.
Good luck.|||Hello, I am glad to see people taking interest in golf. =D
If you're a beginner, than you might need some graphite regular shafted golf clubs, with a tad bigger head (they can also be steel regular shafts). These clubs are more flexible and "adapt" to your swing (the mistakes you make wont be that noticeable) and the bigger club makes a bigger "sweet spot" there fore, the balls flight path is better.
Stiff golf clubs are harder to work with. If your using stiff golf clubs, than your every mistake will be noticeable. The head of a stiff golf club is smaller, so it's harder to hit the ball straight. But if you're a better golfer, than you'll prefer stiff clubs.
Stiff clubs offer more distance, but aren't that controllable. On the other hand we have regular clubs, which offer less distance, but offer more accuracy.
I would suggest trying some golf clubs before buying them... When your mind is made up, than you can buy the clubs by internet. *When buying clubs on the net, be sure to read as many reviews of the site as you can. Also, don't buy clone golf clubs as you newer konw what you get.
When buying clubs, it's good to consult with a professional golfer. He can give you some advice on choosing the best golf clubs for you.
If this information isn't enough, than fell free to visit my blog: http://www.youandgolf.blogspot.com or you can write me an email and ask me anything you want about golf...
Hope this helps, =D|||I'd say look around your local golf shop and hit some balls. If you don't have the time to do that, look for Mizuno irons. Their forged irons are top notch and have irons ranging from beginner, intermediate and skilled preference clubs.|||go to mygolfsport.com, you can buy the best clubs at a reasonable price|||you can try http://www.18golfwholesale.com
