I've been getting more into golf recently and I think its time I do some research to get some good clubs.

Anyone know any good sites or forums?

I'd schedule 3 or so lessons with a pro. He'll analyze your swing and help you improve a bit. Additionally, he'll make some recommendations on what you should be looking for. This won't cost you much, really it won't if you shop around a bit for a pro that fits your needs. If your swing is stable and you are thinking about spending on more than the cheap stuff you'll probably want to get custom fitted. Whether it's some off the shelf company doing the fitting doesn't matter. (Ping has fitters all over the place as an example)

The pro will talk about lofts, shaft stiffness, graphite vs. the alternatives etc. These recommendations will be tailored to your current game and where you will be after improvement. Just keep in mind he might have a deal with a custom fitter or two and he's certainly getting kickbacks from them if he stears you to them and they sell you stuff.
