I am new to golfing, I have an old ‘beater’ set of clubs, but I want to purchase newer ones-I like Callaway
any other reccomendations for clubs or other tips are more than welcome and greatly appreciated!
John knows his business; there is no reason to worry about everything matching, but spending all that money for Callaway (or any other top of the line brands) might not make sense for a beginner. I recommend (as John said) either talking to the pro at your local course or going to a reputable golf shop (such as Golfsmith, Edwin Watts, Golf Galaxy) and have them put you on a swing monitor. That will tell your swing speed and angle so you can purchase the proper shaft flex, length and other optional factors.
Many of the ‘off-brands’ are manufactured by the same companies as the major names but cost far less because there is no marketing budget to recoup. There is a company in Dallas that produces clubs with the Adams brand name and also several brands of private label names. They are all of equal quality, but the difference in price is tremendous.
Also, look at Tour Edge clubs. They sell some of the finest clubs on the market for a fraction of what the other brands cost because there is no marketing cost. Approximately two-thirds of the cost of name brand golf clubs is marketing. That’s why after one year on the market, most clubs sell for a fraction of their original price. For example, TaylorMade r7 irons were $899 when they first came out and are now selling for $399 everywhere.
