What are the golf clubs for me?

Question

Im 13 years old and 5 foot. I want to start playing golf and I tried to play this weekend with a junior set and I need bigger ones. Will someone direct me in the path of small mens clubs or womens clubs that look like mens? Price range is less than $700. Prefferably a big brand name if possible so I dont look like a noob.

Answer 1

First off make sure you are going to go at this with your mind made up that this "golf thing" is for you.

Now, there are many clubs out there, however at your age and being a beginner I would not get a extremely high dollar set.  

But, most importantly, get a set that is approximately for your height, with a little growing room (not a whole bunch though) and I would probably go with something like Ping where you can get a pro to give you a free alignment and he can tell you which color code to buy.  I would also tell him that you would like a set that is a couple models back from the newest thing.  Trust me on that one.  I played college golf Div. I assure you that you will save a tone of cash doing this and it will not cost you a bit of difference.  Make sure you get graphite shafts with a light flex and I am sure your pro will already tell you this.  A shaft for females or seniors is much more flexible and allows much more forgiveness and will actually give you more distance for now.

take care and good luck, oh and by the way, this is the best sport out there. You can start now and still play it, Lord willing, until your 90.

haha. a good name brand set for a beginner would be callaway big bertha cavity back irons, they are forgiving and easy to hit. and for the woods i would recommend a nike sumo driver. for the wedge set if your lookin for fancy but effective you should go for the titleist spin milled vokey wedges. they have great spin to stop the ball on a dime. hope this helps.

Ping g5s are good clubs. They might be used but they are still high quality.
