Dunlop Tour Pro Golf Clubs

[Gillespie16]

Has anyone ever used these clubs?

As i am looking to get a new set of clubs as my dad has took some of my clubs and lost them.

So looking for a new set and these seem good for the price from Sports Direct.

Any feedback on these will be grateful,

Thanks

If it says tour they MUST be great clubs.

The thing that worrys me the most is that you are thinking of buying them from sports direct. I would avoid at all costs buying golf clubs from a so called sports megastore, especially one that is owend by mike ashley.

Is there not a local pro shop or more reputable golf shop you could buy some new clubs from?

By the way how much are the clubs you are looking at?

Please dont fall into the same trap I did when I started off.

Buy a set of used irons from the 'well known auction site' from a leading name in golf and your not regret it. My dunlop 65's have been sitting in the shed now for 2 years and they will never ses the light of day again

Not sure about the local pro shop, anything one from kent could help me out with that?

The clubs are £139.99

For that price or a little more you could pick a decent set of 2nd hand mizuno,pings,taylormade etc, which would be alot better that the dunlop clubs in my opinion.

As for shops in your area i can't help as i live in the north east but i'm sure sumone on here will be from your neck of the woods and will be able to help with shops in your area.

Thanks for the help Bozza, I'll keep it in mind.

i got a set from sports direct i would go and pay the extra 60 quid and get the set of wilson 1200 clubs thats what i did

West Malling golf club pro shop with duncan and the crew are really good
they sometimes have trade in clubs
But look around the second hand stuff will be the best way to go.
lot more club for your money

They were my 2nd choice, if i dont find any decent 2nd hand clubs, then i might spend a bit extra to get the wilson 1200

 

[Ronnoc1980]

Just an example of what good 2nd hand deals can be had I just bought a set of Callaway x16 Pro's 4-PW and 48* 56* 60* forged tour's for £112 plus £10 P&P.

Got to say aswell they are 100X better than anything Sports Direct stock.

check out onlinegolf.co.uk

They have a set of Benross VX proto irons at £149.99 which to my knowledge won all sorts of best budget awards

Failing that they have wilson prostaff LCG irons at £139.00 but I would go for the Benross

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

and you get a free stand bag with the Benross VX proto's

I keep hearing the advice 'buy second hand' but as a beginner golfer, I really wanted a new set in a package. there is a reason they sell well, because it makes it easier for a beginner to get going with everything they need.
For starter sets I'd say stay away from dunlop, try and get either a Wilson starter set or a Black Cat Lynx.
If you can't quite afford those then look at the Hippos.

(I'm wondering if GM should do a round up and review of all the current package sets that are available?)

Part of the "Gear Manifesto" is that they wont test crap gear.
Most of these packages are crap so they wont make the mag.

Golfbidder's the best bet. You don't have to spend a fortune. Either that or do some research and trawl eBay. If you know what to look for you can get lucky. But beware fakes.

I sold my set of Mizuno MX19's on eBay for £120 (I think) earlier this year. A decent set of clubs for the money.

Though starter sets with driver, woods and irons, putter, bag etc. have their place. My only thought is that if you do catch the 'bug', you'll soon want something better. But I do understand the wanting something new thing.

 

[bozza]

I bought one of them "starter sets" from AG when i first started playing a year and abit ago. At first i thought what a bargin, driver,woods,irons,putter and bag for £200 but since then i've replaced every club in my bag and the bag because basiclly they were cheap and crap.

Now looking back i wish i had waited abit longer and not lusted after shiny new stuff and got a decent set of 2nd hand clubs and not pretty much thrown away £200.

I had a starter set of Dunlop clubs when i started, they were fine for a couple of months as i dicided golf was right for me. I soon changed them. I would suggest visiting a few pro shops for trade ins and secound hand sets. We have 3 proshops around inverness that you could walk in tomorrow a get a bargin for less than £150. and i'm not talking AG
