Ok, except Nike.

ok, at this point I'm leaning toward getting the 845s set nolanfan recommended, and having them fitted after the fact. Seems economical, and decent quality.

the other option is to go with this plan:

tommy armour 845/ping eye2 irons
cleveland/titleist vokey wedges
calloway/taylormade/titleist woods
ping/titleist putter

[/ QUOTE ]

Worth the trouble for now, or should I just slowly upgrade as I go?

Are the Tommy Armour woods/wedges problematic?

[eric5148]

Does the place you're buying from have a little hitting area where you can test them out?

[theghost]

from the looks of it, I'll be buying them from the internet.

You guys are killing me! I'm going to go try out some wedges I don't need. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Then just go with the best deal you can find.

Where do you live? If there's a golf store nearby, it's worth checking out used woods and irons there too. Every club in my bag with the exception of two wedges I bought used. You can get some good stuff that way.

I would check locally first, and hit a few different clubs. If you just want a one stop-shopping option, then the ones I linked to would be good. Note that the set probably only comes with a pitching wedge, so you'll want to pick up a sand wedge somewhere.

Finally, if you really just want something to get by on to start with, there are lower quality sets like the only I linked to that run in the $150 range. I bought my dad a set like that, because he only golfs like once or twice a year. They are certainly cheaper quality though.

I have Wilson staff Ultra .45's, and love them. The Armour .845s and Ping Eye 2's were great suggestions, too. I like a classic iron design. You don't want to be playing with garden hoes. If you don't play a lot, don't spend a ton of money.

i don't know that specific model, but the wilson pre-fat shaft stuff tended to be pretty good. i can't look at the newer stuff though, so ymmv. also the titleist dci 962's or mizuno t-zoid pro's are nice as well.

The Wilson Staff Ultras that I am talking about are pre-fat shaft (which I don't care for). Metal shaft, classic club head design. Very solid striking the ball. I bought 2-PW used for about $300 back in '95 or so.

These came out after the ones I got, but these have graphite shafts. If you can get these for like $50, I would heartily recommend.
