I’m a firm believe that anything can work, so long as you’re properly fitted. There’s going to be something at multiple budget levels… and don’t buy the bull#it that more money = better results. Physics, a proper fit and your swing mechanics determine the outcome, not how many dimes you dropped on the clubs.
Stay away from any woods with aluminum faces. Al has to be made thicker than titanium; this reduces its “rebound effect” (coefficient of restitution). For the average golfer, that’s a difference of 8 yards. If you’re lucky enough to fit into “standard”, you can use zinc irons, wedges and putters… Zinc has two major drawbacks: it can’t be bent for loft and lie changes and it shows wear quicker than steel. Notice I didn’t say anything about performance?
There are a plethora of reputable brands, from clones to components to big name brands. There’s the obvious names you see in the professional’s bags (they’re getting paid to play them, remember)… but don’t avoid names like Bang, Alpha, Geek, Tom Wishon Golf Technologies, KZG, Integra, Infiniti, Swing Science, GolfWorks (Tricept, Distance Master, CER, KE4), Snake Eyes, Acer, Dynacraft, DTG (house and clone models), Inazone, Pinemeadow and GigaGolf… just to name a few.
Whatever you decide, get fitted for length, shaft flex, lie angle, grip size, swing weight (how heavy the head feels) and total weight. Unless you’re in the 10 percentile that fit into the off-the-rack “standard”, you’ll be doing yourself a disservice by not getting fitted.
You should really get fitted. I’m 16 and have been playing since i was 12 and just recently got a set of Taylor Made Burner 2.0 irons and got them fitted it made a huge difference. You should try going to a local golf store ( eg.Golf town) and try some different sets with the monitor then you can really get a feel for the difference in the clubs.Some stores like Golf Town will even let you play a game with the clubs on a course to see if they are really right for you.
-Go to a Golf Store and ask to try a couple different sets with the monitor .
-In the end it all comes down to the feel of the clubs, Eg. I love my burners but you might hate them.
Zack, get the set that fits you best. Custom fitted if possible. A lot of golf retailers now have the ability to give you feedback in house on how you swing each set. They can determine via swing analyzers not just how far you hit the ball but with what launch angle, spin rate, etc. Most will also be able to tell you if you need adjustments, such as longer or short shafts, adjustment in lie, etc.
Try several sets and see which one give you the best results.
Good Luck and Low Scores
I bought a fitted set of Ping G-10’s about four years ago. I added a g15 3 wood, a sand wedge and a utility wedge.
They work just fine although everything about me is standard except for my hands, which are small.
Pings are very forgiving. See if your local golf course has Ping demonstrators that come out to demo their clubs. I’ve also heard good things about Cleveland clubs.
Good luck.

There’s more to the club than a name brand. You need to go to a PGA Superstore or Golf Retailer. They’ll recommend a club based on you. There’s stiff shafts, flex shafts, graphite, steel, etc. If I were going to buy a standard set, i’d go with a topflite stiff shaft or semi stiff.
This store is a great club, the perfect product
