Golf Iron Half Set
Beginner Golf Clubs??
I have been taking lessons for about a month and a half now and i want to get my own clubs. I have played on a course before and loved it. anyway, i want to know how i can see if i fit into adult clubs (I'm only 12). I'm 5'2" and can hit the ball with the driver about 200 yards (yeah i suck). I wanted to see if anyone could recommend a set of decent beginner clubs. I don't need all of the clubs, I just want Over sized Driver, 3 Wood, a Hybrid (recommended 4/5), 7-PW Iron Set, and a putter. I am willing to pay $180 or below (IT'S A BEGINNER'S SET COME ON!). I was checking this set out but it seems a little cheap to be true and its from KMart. http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_9990000049204911P?mv=rr Please help again I am 5'2" and can hit the ball 200 yards with a driver (stop laughing).
First, 200 yards is pretty darned good for a 12-year old. And if you're hitting it straight, you're better of than someone who hits it 250 but doesn't know where it's going.
First thing: If you are indeed hitting it straight, then stay with that swing. No sense trying to kill it.
Second: I'd stay away from Kmart and Walmart. They're great for a lot of things, but not your clubs.
Golf Galaxy has a nice set of sticks for your age and size:
http://www.golfgalaxy.com/galaxy/product.asp?pf_id=WalterHagenVarsityJuniorSetAges12andover&path=Complete+Sets&path=Juniors&search_handle=QT1Db21wbGV0ZSBTZXRzfkI9Q29tcGxldGUgU2V0c35EPTMwfkc9NjgxXjF_ST1QcmljZX5LPTR_TD0xfk09MX5OPTJ_&scid=SearchResults&spoffset=1&s_id=0
It's a little more than you want to spend ($220 on sale) but the problem with your age and size is that you're in that tweener group -- too big for good cheap junior stuff, and too small for full-on adult gear.
If you can't swing the extra $40 for that set, go to a golf discount place in your town. It's the best way to go, anyway, as someone will be there to make sure you get the right fit and clubs for your game.
Lastly: When it comes to balls, don't buy the hype. Expensive balls like Titleist ProV and others are great for great players. Most folks won't see the benefit from playing them. TopFlite used to make crap balls, but now Callaway owns 'em and they make great cheap balls. I play the "Gamer", but beginners like you would like "The Freak". Extra distance you'll appreciate, less spin so you won't hook or slice as bad (and until you're playing low handicap golf, extra spin won't help your game anyway.)
Okay...I said "last thing" but I lied: Here's the last thing: Pick up a copy of the rules of golf. Read it. Know it. And get real familiar with golf courtesy: Be quiet on the course, repair ball marks and divots, play fast and according to the rules. All that stuff matters to experienced golfers, and if it matters to you, you'll find a lot of people on the course who will respect you and help you with your game.
Hit 'em straight. And good luck.

Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Set $1099.95 Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Set Scratch AR-1 Irons are forged from the same soft 1018 carbon steel as our wedges. The AR-1 irons are designed to offer maximum playability and forgiveness in a cavity back with the looks of a traditional muscle back blade at address. The center of gravity is in the center of the face and further back towards the trailing edge. The cavity design is progressive and has a lower COG in the long irons to help get the ball in the air. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Heads Scratch AR-1 irons are forged from 1018 carbon steel, the softest steel used by anyone making golf clubs today. The raw heads are then ground and finished completely by hand. The end result is the finest hand made forged traditional cavity back irons in golf, customized for your game. The headshape of the AR-1 irons was inspired by Scratch's work with Tour Pros from around the globe. Specific attention was paid to the transition from the middle irons to the short irons to assure perfect flow throughout the set from the 3 iron down to the PW. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Grooves The AR-1 irons feature our new 2010 "Condition of Competition" legal V grooves. These grooves are legal for play in any tournament in the world so you never have to worry about taking your favorite set of Scratch irons out of the bag because the groove rule has changed. These grooves are designed to have the maximum amount of groove surface while still adhering to the new USGA rules. This reduces flier lies and provides more consistent spin and performance. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Finish AR-1 irons feature Scratch?s Brushed Satin finish. This finish provides the durability of chrome with a duller surface to help eliminate glare. The minimal stampings of the AR-1 irons provide a very clean look unique to the Scratch Golf brand and allow for personal stampings to be added to customize the clubs for the player. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Heads Scratch Golf AR-1 irons feature the KBS Tour as our standard shaft. These shafts are designed by legendary shaft designer Kim Braley and are the culmination of his years of shaft design experience. These shafts have a slightly higher launch angle but a more boring ballflight overall. This makes them easier to swing and more forgiving while also giving them better ballflight into the wind. They feature a consistent taper design in a stepped shaft and are more workable and have better feel on partial shots |

Scratch Golf EZ-1 Iron Set $1099.95 Scratch Golf EZ-1 Iron Set Scratch Golf EZ-1 Irons are forged from the same soft 1018 carbon steel as our wedges. The EZ-1 irons are designed for absolute maximum forgiveness in a one piece forged head. The center of gravity is very low and far back towards the trailing edge. The blade is longer from heel to toe and the weight is pushed far out towards the edges of the club. This makes the EZ-1 irons as forgiving as any of the larger oversized irons on the market today. Despite their extreme forgiveness and playability the EZ-1 irons retain a traditional look at address with a thin topline and classic shape. Scratch Golf EZ-1 Iron Heads Scratch EZ-1 irons are forged from 1018 carbon steel, the softest steel used by anyone making golf clubs today.

Kevin Coster Collection $20.94 3000 MILES TO GRACELANDLadies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building... with $3.2 million in stolen jack. As leaders of a gang who pull off a daring Las Vegas casino heist while disguised as participants in the town's International Elvis Week, Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner are armed, dangerous and sporting hunka-hunka sets of awesome sideburns. Awesome, too, is the film's supporting cast: Courteney Cox, Christian Slater, David Arquette, Kevin Pollack, Howie Long, Ice-T, Jon Lovitz and more. Get in, strap down, hold on. 3,000 Miles To Graceland, directed and co-written by Demian Lichtenstein, is one kicky, volatile, heat-seeking missile of an action thriller. ROBIN HOOD PRINCE OF THIEVESThe story of Robin Hood and his meeting up with Little John and finding he has a long lost half brother. He also falls for his bestfiends lovely sister Marian. Together they fight the evil Sheriff of Nottingham to protect King Richard's land. TIN CUPAn unreachable shot to the green. A hopeless romance. Driving-range pro Roy McAvoy can't resist an impossible challenge. Each is what he calls a defining moment. You define it. Or it defines you. With lady-killer charm and a game that can make par with garden tools, Kevin Costner rejoins Bull Durham filmmaker Ron Shelton for another funny tale of the games people play. For Costner's Roy, golf is a head -- and heart -- game. On both counts, that's where shrink Molly Griswold (Rene Russo) comes in. She's big city, Roy's small time, and he belives only the grandest of gestures can lure her away from a slick touring pro (Don Johnson) and earn her love. So Roy and his dutiful caddy (Cheech Marin) set out to do the impossible: win the U.S. Open. With laughs, clever battle-of-the-sexes banter and a handy way with a 7-iron, Tin Cup winningly defines the moment and contemporary comedy. |
