What is the difference between the Wilson Hope golf set and the Wilson Hope LX golf set?

Question

I've been looking to buy a new set of beginners golf clubs, and the Wilson Hope Golf set has been recommended to me. I can get the regular Wilson Hope golf set for under $150, or i could pay a little over $100 more for the Wilson Hope LX set. I don't mind paying more for better quality, but I don't know how to justify it. Help!

Also, are there any sets women's beginners sets that are better than the Hope sets? I've noticed Wilson has a set called Prostaff, but it looks almost identical to the Hope LX set. I'm looking to spend $300 or less.

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

I purchased the Prince set at Costco for my Daughter. 1W, 3W, 5W, 4i Hybrid, 5iHybrid, 6 - PW, SW, Putter & Stand.  The woods and hybrids also had covers.  The putter is one that I really like - mallet, insert, etc., it hits nice!  It is for an adult lady beginner.  I was very surprised how good it is.

I think it was about $250.

Answer 2

The Wilson LX has a hybrid club which I'm finding to be an incredible club.  I started my golf career with the Wilson Hope Set and they lasted a long time for me through many different skill levels.  I highly recommend them.  The additional money for the LX is well worth it.  Hybrids are a lot easier to hit from the fairway than woods.

I have written a review of the Wilson Hope LX Clubs and two other sets on my website.

Go to www.golfsmith.com you can read reviews on all of the clubs they have.

Answer 4

I am a newbie to the game and I bought the Hope LX set. My fav club is the hybrid. I find myself as a beginner needing it. I paid $200 for it at Wal-Mart, Target also has it. I also liked the colors better, less of the purple - although it makes no difference really. I have been able to hit well with them and am glad I didn't spend too much but still got good clubs. I figure once I REALLY get into playing well then I will upgrade to a different set. But I have talked to people at plenty of Golf and sports stores and they love the set. They say it is better then several of the $400 sets out there.

You can always try them out at the range or on a round and if you are not happy return them. My hubby did that with a set at Target.

HAVE FUN ENJOY!!!
