Answer 1

slanger! i bought them and they are great. slanger is a good golfing brand. just watch out for the driver. i toped one and it has a little tiny dent. so if you want them in mint condition. i segest buying a king cobra!

Answer 2

Take your partner to a good golfshop for a proper fitting session. Good shops take into account your level and budget. Never buy a set off the rack!

Answer 3

A great place to get golf clubs and anything else golf related is golfetail.com. my first set of beginner set was a Dunlop and i thought they were fabulous. They were great quality and lasted me a long time. The whole set was probably $115 too.  

Answer 4

i would suggest you go to ebay and look up "whole sets" and they will have something on the left that u can pin point what ur looking for i did this for my adams redline RPM driver it normally costs around 300 dollars but i got it for only 90 dollars.

I suggest the following clubs.

Taylormade burner or Taylormade for your driver

but as for irons i hit titleist DCI's and they hit very well and are very forgiving.

I hope this helps u find the best clubs for your partner have fun. this is my opinion and only you can decide what to get. hit em hard my friend

Answer 5

As he's a beginner golfer, my recommendation would be:

1.  Stay away from the big brands like Callaway, Ping, TaylorMade, etc, for now, as these clubs come with a significnat price premium for the name brand.  Yes, those companies make great clubs, but you're buying for a beginner, so I see no reason to spend the extra money at this stage of his development...let him get some experience first.

2.  You can buy a full set of clubs (irons and woods together) but you'll have more choices if you look for a set of irons and a seperate set of woods.  It doens't matter if the irons are made by a different company than the woods.

3.  Buy used if you can/want.  It'll save you money now and then, when his game has developed after a few seasons on the course and he decides if he loves it our hates it, he can get clubs suited to his skill level as it stands then.  You can sell this first set on eBay and recover some of your initial investment.

4.  When buying for the beginner, "forgivness" is the key.  What that means is, these clubs have a large sweet spot, so even shots that aren't hit perfectly will still be pretty good.  Some distance is sacrificed for the extra forgivness, but right now he needs to keep the ball on the fairway, not try to out-distance Tiger Woods.

The reality is, as a beginner, his main objectives are to make solid contact with the ball and develop some consistency in his swing.  Then, once he decides if he loves or hates the game, he can get a set that's suited to his game as it has developed over a few seasons of experience....and it usually takes several seasons to gain that expereince.

Depending on how much you really want to spend/save, I suggest looking at clubs from Lynx, Snake Eyes, Cougar, and if you want to move up in quality without a big jump in cost, Nicket and Tour Edge.

I've owned or currently own clubs from each of these makers.  Cougar made my first set, and they served me well...they really only make lower-end clubs for beginners and the budget conscious.  The Nickent irons I have now and Tour Edge woods are serving me well.  I entered this season shooting mid-90's on average...I'm now in the upper 80's on a regular basis and shot an 81 this past weekend.

It's all about making progress over time.
