What to buy

[Micky P]

I have been building up my set after buying a cheep set to see if i like the game of golf.
So I have got some irons that i am happy with (King Cobras) and just had them re-griped
then after a lesson or 2 i got a Callaway FT9 11* draw driver witch i love.
So irons and driver taken care of.
Then picked up my new putter last Saturday a Taylor Made Ghost Spider very nice if you like that sort of putter.
So went out for a round down Littlestone Lynx Course and played my best round ever and if i had had not of 3 putted 10 holes i may of broke 100 :lol:
BUT i have 2 hibrids which i am not sure if they are right for me.
I had nothing between my driver and my 5 iron
So do i get some new hibirds to fill the gap or get 3 5 and 7 woods and if so what is good for a 19 ish handy cap

many thanks mick

Get a putting lesson, not some new clubs. Learn how to 2 putt and you will be 10 shots better off, no hybrids will cut your score by that many shots. Then take a golf lesson for your swing and that will take another 5 shots off your score after some practice and all for the price of a cheap hybrid.

Yes an excellent point and thinking about it the way that i shall go but i will still need some thing to fill the gap in my bag as smashing the hell out of my 5 iron instead of a more controlled swing with another club would be more enjoyable for me.

Go and try hybrids and fairway woods. See what you like.

5 iron to driver is way too big a gap for anyone.

 

[swanny32]

Agreed that the gap between 5 iron and driver is too big for sure, a 3 wood would probably be a good addition to your bag although I'd highly recommend, like SharkAttack, get a short game and putting lesson, I think that will help shave shots more than having a wood or hybrid in the bag.

If the cash is burning a club shaped hole in your pocket then I don't see any reason why you can't go out and pick up a 3 wood and a 23 degree hybrid.

I initially went 4W and 3h to fill a similar gap. Then I got a 4h and now have it pretty well covered.

Others might go 3W, 5W & 4h if funds allow.

 

[grizzler]

anyone recommend a good 3 wood for £100 or less?

 

[swanny32]

There are loads out there for less than £100, mine for starters. G10, great stick, and you should be able to pick it up for about £60-£70 depending on condition.

plus i had similar problem and of similar standard, picked up a taylormade r5 5 wood, amazing

 

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

If you're looking for cheap search ebay for hippo oversize 3,5 woods, have them in my bag and are my most consistent clubs.

 

[spawn_ukuk]

At your level i agree with what the members are saying, you dont need new clubs right now.
A good Hybrid or Wood will eventually get you to even lower scores, but for right now concentrate alot on your short game, 100 yards and In, and your putting
I think if you work on that awhile you will easily break 100,

 

[MrGoodThingsInLife]

I echo the above, short game, short game, short game.

Mizuno JPX.

Can't recommend any others, as I haven't used them.

Cleveland 2009 Launcher
One of the longest and easiest fairways I've ever used.
Not expensive at all - even Golfbidder have them from 50 quid....

I have a Mizuno MP titanium 4 Wood and it's just class. Easy to hit from tee or fairway and it looks pretty good too

If only it was that easy!

Mizuno MP Titanium woods or the MX-700's, great sticks.

 

[USER1999]

I find 3w a difficult club to hit consistently.

What is wrong with your existing two hybrids that makes you not carry them?

Mizuno MP Titanium woods or the MX-700's, great sticks.
