Hi everyone, my first post on the forum and its probably going to be a long one. I have intermittently played golf since 2012 when I was 6 years old and it was my grandad who got me into it. Over the past 8 months or so I have been getting back into the game and I have had a couple of lessons which have greatly improved my swing and just my game in general. I saw gains of 20 or so mph in most clubs and as much as 40 yards in some shots as well. I don't know my handicap but if I was to guess its probably between 16-20.
The main thing I'm asking about though is to do with clubs. I have a very random collection of clubs which have almost all been hand me downs from my grandad and they are quite old and they aren't the most forgiving, nor do they go the furthest. Today I had a fitting as I was curious as to what clubs would be suited to me. After that was over, the results were that I needed 1/2 inch longer irons and standard woods and driver as well as all clubs being regular flex.
Back to the main point of the thread, I will probably have up to £1000 to spend on a full set of newer clubs, I'd honestly prefer to stick to used if I could to try and keep costs down. I'm looking for clubs that offer forgiveness and distance. I have heard good things about the Taylormade SIM 2 Max driver and I was thinking about going 3 wood and then a 22 degree hybrid, but I don't know what to look for on the last two. Then a set of irons from 5-PW, and then 2 or 3 wedges; another area where I am not sure on what to look for. I'm quite happy with my current putter.
Could I please get some suggestions on what to look for? I don't have a brand preference either.
Many thanks
Evan
