Need help choosing brand of golf irons.?

I'm a semi beginning golfer (probably golf in the low 100's). I've only golfed 6 times in my life and want to begin golfing regularly this summer. My clubs are like 4th generation hand me downs and am looking to replace them. I'm debating between a set of irons (3-PW) by Ben Hogan edge. They're probably 5 years old, but very well taken care of... And a set of Walter Hagen SB3 with the 2 hybrids. Those clubs are only about a year and half old. Which would be a better buy. Both are around 100 (the hogans are about 100, the walter hagens are about 120)... help me out... Oh, and one other question, should I get a driver (I found a good deal on a Cleveland 460 Ti)|||buy the hogans and the cleveland driver. good luck.|||I think you're headed in the right direction. I would choose the Hogan's, but it's entirely your choice. The Driver you chose is good too. Go for it.|||The hogans and the cleveland driver are a good start for you.





The ping anser is a great putter.


However, a lot of new golfers find it easier to putt with a mallet style putter, such as the ping craz-e, the odyssey 2-ball or something like that. Worht your while to go to a golf shop and try some mallets out, then look for the used deals.|||First of all, you're on the right track-- you definitely need to ditch the clubs you currently play. Now you are at a critical point that a lot of beginning golfers face: choosing the right club to fit your game.


Since you stated that you are shooting around 100, it would seem that you would need a "game improvement" type of iron set. These clubs are easier to hit solidly and straight, allowing for off-center shots and miss hits. The Hagen SB3's fit this category. I would go with those sticks.


Once you begin to improve, and I predict that you will see an immediate improvement in your game, you may want to upgrade to a set of clubs which will allow you to "work" the ball more. Think about another switch once you start shooting around the low 80's. You usually don't see "better" golfers with hybrid sets.


Your driver choice is a different story. The 460 Ti is a quality driver, but comes in a number of different set-ups, like an offset or Comp version. You wont "outgrow" this club, meaning your ability will not surpass the club's capability. This is a good choice... go with it.|||if you are looking for a good set, i would buy knockoffs. they are super cheap, and just as good as the real thing. i just bought a set of "ti7" irons. the taylor made r7 knockoffs. they are great and will cost you less then $150 BRAND NEW.the r7's are like $700. i'd call that a good deal!

at least check out the site.|||I have a friend that has hogans that doesnt like them if i was you i would try out nike nds irons.They are great for the money i bought mine for about 220$ you just got look around.As a driver, i got a clevland hi bore and i love it very forgiving.Hibrid i would go with srixon,callaway or taylormade.|||got an idea for you. if you really want to start off to learn. go to walmart and buy you a set there. for a beginner they will be no different than the most expesive clubs. i shoot a 3 handicap with a set of walmart dunlops that i bought 8 years ago. and can beat most people i play wtih 4 thousand dollars worth of clubs and a bag. its kinda pathetic. but start there get a good feel of some clubs that are right then as you progress buy the more expensive ones.
