Need help deciding which club set to get

m*rocco said: It's been at least ten years since I played a game of golf, so I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about, but I'm interested in getting back into the game and am getting a set of clubs as a gift. My options have been narrowed to two sets from different pro shops in my area, each around $400. The first set is Wilson Deep Red, including 1, 3, and 5 woods, two hybrids, 5-9 irons, PW, SW, LW, and putter. The second set is Adams Tight Lies, including 1,3, and 5 woods, 4-9 irons, PW, SW, and putter. Obviously the Wilson set comes with more clubs (14 as opposed to 12), but from my limited understanding Adams seems to have a better name, which I admit I'm a sucker for. Any advice I might be able to get from you guys, as a neutral party, would be greatly appreciated. A quick google on the sets can bring up some links for reference, but the forum rules won't let me post these since I'm a new member. Thank in advance!

Lots of us on here made big strides forward by dropping lob wedges or long irons from our bags thereby removing the temptation to play them before our skills merited them. The other option (that most people here would recommend) is to pick up the clubs used until you really know what you want. Decent sets of irons, woods, drivers, hybrids and wedges can all be picked up very cheaply and probably represent better value for money. The joy of doing it that way is that you'll have much better equipment that you can 'grow into' as you improve, and it'll probably still have some trade-in value when you're better and want better gear. Hope that helps!

z*phod said: Ask either Pro shop if they will let you demo the clubs. Both ok sets so depends how well you get along with them. Wilson set has hybrids which is a plus Adams tight lies are a forgiving set. So it depends on what fits your swing the best. Best Advice I can give is do not make your decision based on the driver but rather on the irons and wedges. Choose wisely

St*nters said: Get the Adams set. As stated above a lob wedge and 3 iron are tough clubs to get to grips with anyway. The Adams woods are nice and easy to hit and the irons are good quality. You will love them, they are about the best choice for anyone who is starting out in terms of quality and price and suitability for your game.
