which clubs to have.

[mono217]

I think we should all remember that youngsters dont have Mortgages, wives, or kids......
My own lad has a grand in the Bank, which he isnt fussed about blowing, but he could if he wants,....its his money, we merely try and advise....

Mind you, for that, he's got up at 7am every morning, 6days a week, and gone and delivered your morning paper's, come rain, snow, or shine.

Maybe Pete, Mono and others. do the same, or maybe they Buy & Sell on Fleabay, or whatever other entreprenarial things they have going,......its only to be encouraged in my opinion, as is playing this wonderful game, which may stick with them through life.

We have a great bunch of juniors at my club, a lot of them 10H/C or below, and even have a lad off 1 @ 17yrs old, and I find playing with them damn good fun, they're great company, and improving rapidly, which is something most of us on here perhaps cant say.

Pete, if you want new irons, go get some, but make sure you play well with them as well as like the look of them, dont forget the old adage......Buy in Haste, Repent at Leisure......

Or Buy some more........

Thanks for defending us juniors.

thing is the 'cheaper' clubs wont hold their value and therefore when i get a new set (after these ones and hopefully in a few years time) they will still be worth a bob and as a result dont have to fork out another few hundred leaving me with no other money. thats why, for all those people slagging me off for buying an expensive set, i am buying an long lasting and great value club

The only reasonably thought out answer Ive heard on this subject, but you do need the readies to buy them in the first place and in reality the depreciation of these clubs is greater than cheap ones. Keep them in good nick for a while to see a good return perhaps

The implication was that if the OP had the skill level, a better club i.e. a blade or shallow cavity would make shot shaping easier than a cast, cavity backed model.

If the OP wasn't looking for that type of playability but wanted something that was obviously not a game improver (X22 etc) then there are a number of models (Nikes combo set) that may be preferable. Demo days offer a chance to try different head/shaft combos and get the swing looked at on launch monitors with free (granted not impartial) advice. As long as the OP trys before buying (buyers remorse) then there is a myriad of options available
