What Clubs for a Young Golfer Looking to Improve Over the Long Term?

A lot of this depends on how deep are your finances. A full bag from any of the big 5 will run upwards of 3 grand.

I wouldn’t think in terms of 10 years. Your stroke accuracy should improve that a game improvement set today may not be your best option in 3-5 years.

Are you taking lessons? The coach should be able to recommend clubs that meet your game today. If not getting lessons from a shop also marketing new clubs, that person can suggest a few options for you, including appropriate shafts as used clubs. There are retailers like 2nd Swing that offer both new and used, and will work with you sets. Naturally, all of us crazy enthusiasts would suggest Titleist equipment like AP or T series irons, and IMO, woods, hybrids, and drivers that start with T for used or GT for new. Wedge groves matter, so Vokey wedges new or like new are needed.

Try not to select models on your own. Buying a series beyond your skill will be a disappointment.

Welcome to the crazy world of golf. A well worn set of clubs can loose their effectiveness because the grooves will be worn down. If you really want to improve, I would recommend that you go see a PGA instructor and take a lesson or two. He/she can take a look at your set-up/stance, swing, etc., to see what your needs are. That fast swing is a killer and will not improve you game. At the age of 78, that is my biggest downfall. It still gets me in trouble and I see my PGA teacher every now and then. Once your work out the kinks, thru practice, I would go see a fitter and see what clubs you need. Once you learn the game correctly and get a good set of clubs, you will enjoy it more. Clubs change every two years, so there could be some good used ones out there that a fitter can refer you to once the newer ones are released. Best of luck. It takes time so be patient.

Thanks both. Very helpful.

I think the clear answer is to go and see a pro for a lesson or two and chose some off the back of that.

I’m sure il take to a website for second hand clubs like golfbidder as I don’t see the benefit in spending over double on brand new clubs.

All the best

I’ll most likely take to a second hand website like golfbidder as although I’m prepared to spend a fair bit on clubs, I don’t see the point in paying over double for brand new as apposed to 5 or less year old ones.

All the best
