are any of these worth the price?

 

Since you're starting I would go with the fusion irons. All of the clubs are ones that are easier to hit and you would be spending less to start. Once you know you are into golf then you can buy more expensive and new clubs. Callaway are a good high quality clubs. The set looks to be in good shape.

 

Hi Jay
sub 95 myself so not exactly a good golfer , but I do know that if your a mid to high Hcap then you need cavity back clubs and not forged

cavity back clubs have the weight spread around the perimeter so you get a larger sweet spot and thus hits off centre are not punished as badly as the same off centre hit with forged club would be

forged clubs or blades are for very good golfers who consistently hit the ball with the same part of the club face - which we dont

Big Bertha cavity back clubs are great
get a couple of rescue clubs in the bag and take the 3 and 4 iron out IMO

If distance off the T on straight par 4s or 5s is your aim, check out the Calloway F1 square driver , it helps with a slice problem and gives more distance on average hits

yea well i love golf...been occasionally golfing the past year or so...i got a cheap starter set given to me(they are like rymar) or sumthing like that...but they are +1 and the irons r sumwhat uncomfortable to hit with...i figured 200 for the fusion was a decent deal..and with the item description and pictures u believe they are in good shape and wouldnt effect the playability of the clubs?

 

well i probably hit alil above 100ish consistently which isnt the greatest but i have fun out there..so do u think the fusions would be good2 go with steve? i mean 200 i think is a decent deal..but like i said i really only been getting into golf over a year and im learning everything about clubs and its overwhelming to say the least..btw whats a "rescued" club

 

No it shouldn't. I would get properly fit for clubs if you are uncomfortable with your current irons.

By the way I used to be a scratch golfer and made my own clubs from components. I have played for 25 years.

 

wow im so jealous...i wanna pick ur brain with all the golf knowledge u got...can u give me sum beginner tips?

 

if a scracth golfer says they are good, I say they are good
I used Big Bertha for a couple of years and they where great

a rescue club has the lenght of an iron but the head like a wood
easier to hit the ball on the fairway or light rough as it never digs into the ground like a badly hit iron might

you can also go to a golf shop, they can custom tailor clubs for you, that are knock offs of the big names. they will check swing speed, where you hit the ball on the club face , also grip size. then will put together a set. and for a good price. could be something to check out.

 

Steve is right about the rescue clubs. I don't use an iron longer than the 5. I have rescues for my 3 and 4 irons. Get yourself a good sand wedge of around 55 deg loft and practice like crazy with it. Don't get a driver with a loft lower than 10 deg. Your 3 wood should be 15 deg loft.
