Thanks - I think I will go with that option. It's just that I am a beginner (1 year experience), and notice that a lot of articles/ videos I've read and seen, golfers tend to carry three wedges. So I just thought that was the way to go!I thought I'd consider this website before making any...

Thanks - makes a lot of sense! I just don't want to rush out and spend money without first considering properly what I'd actually use!

Thank you v much - that sounds a sensible idea. I will take a look at that, and yes you're right I am regular flex! Looks like one of those on sale will match the current set I have. Thanks for the recommendation

I don't have that. Someone else has recommended perhaps buying that too, to bridge the gap that's currently between my SW and PW. Perhaps I can start there and then see if I need anything with higher loft than 54! Thanks.

Wondered if anyone can offer some help/ advice on what wedges I should get, to add to my bag. I curently have a set of Wilson Staff D7 irons (5-SW). The loft on my SW is 54, and my PW is 43. I was looking online at sets of three wedges, and the ones I saw and liked came in 60, 56 and 52...

They are, but ever so slightly. You'd only notice if you looked closely.

I recently bought a new set (second hand) of some Wilson Staff D7 irons, from Golfbidder. I was up until now using a set of Bay Hill irons that were given to me by a friend. I researched online and these irons were rated as being great for beginners, and getting the ball in the air etc...

I was given a set of 'Bay Hill' irons (5-PW + SW) by a friend. He was bought them as a teenager I believe (we are both now 32 so could be as long back as 19 years). They are graphite shafts, regular flex. On the heads it says BH-600, which I guess might indicate a model number? I have tried...

Wasn't aware of that! Thank you!

Thanks - really helpful advice! I was looking a lot on Golf Bidder, and even though I had spotted a few that I liked in terms of aesthetics - I just took the view that surely it's the type of purchase I should be making after actually hitting with the club. But as you say if you can return them...

Didn't know that about Golf Bidder! Thanks. I was eyeing up some Wilson D9's on there for what looked a reasonable price. I was recommended them by someone too as a good iron set to improve my game. Any view on the Wilson D9's?

Thanks - really interesting insight on the American Golf and new golfer stuff! I get what you mean about the Benross depreciating - but in honesty I'm not sure I could see myself upgrading again after them! But I definitely take your point. I'm based in Oxfordshire. Loads of golf clubs around...

Thanks for the advice - much appreciated!

Thanks for this reply. I have heard Ping spoken about a lot before as being good for beginners/ high handcappers. However they're pretty expensive - think they might be out of my budget!

Hi everyone, I am a relatively new golfer, looking to invest in my first set of irons.. I took a trip to American Golf on the weekend and got measured up, and the member of staff recommended a 0.5 shorter than standard size. I had a hit of a few clubs, notably Cobra and Benross (I don't want...
