Re: I need some golf clubs
Play it again sports for a used set. Can't go wrong with any pings. Suggest cavity backed irons for a larger sweet spot. Cobra and callaway also ok. Any taylormade driver with a head size of over 360 is also fine. For wedges, used clevelands or vokey only.

Without getting some feedback from the club, you'll never know how you're actually hitting the ball, which is key to improving your swing.

Re: I need some golf clubs
10 yds of variability on a pured shot. It's obviously more than that on an average drive. And yes, I am that thing in the middle.

Re: I need some golf clubs
Absoludicrous, like I said, I guess I'm just jaded because everytime I get into a golf dicussion on the internet, even on the golf forums I frequent all I ever see written is how the guy is 6'4" has 110 mph swing speed and crushes every drive. It just gets, well, absoludicrous after awhile...
But then I go to the golf course on the weekend and see the majority of guys struggling to get the ball out there 250 consistently. I was trying to help the guy who said he swings really slow out by building a little confidence. Just because he reads all this crap about how far everyone on the internet hits the ball doesn't mean he isn't actually hitting as well as the average american male. If you can really hit it 300+ on a consistent basis, more power to you. I'm glad you freaks of nature exist, because it is pretty awesome to see. But you are probably like my roommate. talks about distance constantly, measure performance by how far you are hitting the club, and at the end of the day I've beaten him because he can't hit a decent shot from within 50 yards and is horrible on the green. But then the next day he'll spend two hours at the range hitting nothing but full swing shots. And what I can't figure out is why he even goes to the course to play golf. He is basically just going through a range session on the course. and when he gets around the green it's like he may aswell not even be there. If the poor guy woudl spend two hours at the practice and chipping greens he'd be much better off. But for whateve reason he never does it. And then after the round he tries and blame his driver because he didn't hit every single one dead straight. So when he goes and sees his golf instructor on tuesday he has already said he wants his instructor to fix his driver swing. But all I can say to myself is what an idiot, he needs to tell that damn instructor to give him his money back, because he won't ever improve his score until he figures out how to hit a shot that doesn't require a full swing.
