Factor a few lessons into your spending too, be a lot more beneficial than a newer or more expensive model of driver for example
Full set for less than £1000?

Yes I had a few recently that greatly improved my game but I might need one tailored to my driver as I'm not getting a long with it too well at the moment. I was looking at the Ping G425 MAX as there are a few near me that are around the £200 mark and also the Taylormade Sim 2 MAX as well.

Another vote for Silvermere. Great 2nd hand options and a good range too.
Go upstairs to the sale store too for some bargains on clothing!

I feel I may have misled you slightly in my previous post when I compared brand new Ping irons + 0.5 inch with their older sets.
The fitter gave you specs for Cobra Air 2.0 irons + 0.5 inch.
If you go for Ping G30 then you will need + 0.5 inch in those to get the closest comparison with the Cobras.
To make amends, I have created a comparison table.
Slightly shorter lengths throughout and the shorter irons become slightly more lofted. But overall they should be a good fit, I think.
The 38.13 length in the 6-iron is not a typo. It puts it halfway between the 5 and the 7.

I have ordered the Ping G30's, they should be here on Monday. If I don't like them I can always send them back, just have to pay postage. Has anyone got any suggestions for a 2 and 4 hybrid? The irons are 4-SW so maybe I don't need a 4 hybrid?
Thanks

I don't have any particular suggestions , but I would play with them for a while before you decide what you do need, some people get on with 4 irons some don't , it partly depends on swing speed but also on personal preferences.

Would you be able to hit a 2 hybrid? Don’t know many who use them

Makes sense, I'm assuming if I got a 4 hybrid it would overlap with the 4 iron too much?

I have never hit one but I hit a 3 hybrid for a little while which I always struck quite well.

You don't really know till you try them, they are not all equivalent , a lot of people will not hit a 4i much further than a 5 or even 6i and their hybrids will go further or they might be better off with woods . Either way I'd see how you get on wit hyour irons and for a while and see where your gaps are before working out where to fill them.

Buy a 5 and a 3 hybrid. Chances are you won't be flushing your 4 and 5 irons.

I'm going to see how I do with them and if I don't like them then I will try a 3 and 5 hybrid set.

Does the G30 set come with a wedge between PW and SW.
PW = 45°
SW = 54°
If not, you might need a 50°
And possibly a 58° or 60°
Evan Atkinson

The set I ordered comes with a PW and a SW. I agree a 50° might be needed if I think there is too much of a gap between the PW and SW.

Have you considered a boxed set. Wilson and Inisis make sets that have good reviews from Professionals. Some videos on YouTube where they're being tested.

Oddly enough I was having a mosey around the hotel yesterday and found one of those free additional mags you get in mags.
This free mag was from
Golf Monthly and it was ironically on how to play golf on a budget. Ave left it in the room as am now at the pool in me speedos and crocs.
Anyway one of the bits of advice was buy second hand.
Last years Ping G430s don’t mean there rubbish this year.
If I think on I will check what it is called later. Not sure if there is a link on the golf monthly site.
It will be very helpful for you and not just buying clubs.
Welcome to the forum and good first post me man.

Oh ah. I bought some Ping G430 irons brand new off Facebook and picked them up from a golf club.
5,6,7,8,9,pw and 54 for £550. I was over the moon.
Bought a G430 driver for £270 whilst there.

It's not something that I have considered but I will have a look at them

I am readily checking FB Marketplace, there were a few Ping G425 MAX drivers near me that were around £200. It's difficult to tell sometimes whether they are scams though and that's why I'd rather buy off of a reputable seller. Have seen some very good deals on FB though.Oh ah.
