Callaway
4.3
(42)
"Callaway Strata sets are perfect beginner club sets."
"I built this set for my wife for under $900 from Callaway preowned and 2nd swing."
"Buy an entire set on Callaway preowned. It will arrive in great shape, backed by a warranty and a nice return window."
"Go with a higher end used Callaway set from 4-6 years ago and spend the same. Good used is better than cheap new."
"The callaway edge is a GREAT set , it’s value has no comparison tbh and is a set than you can use until you want to upgrade due level."
"I started with a hand me down Strata set and then upgraded to the Rogue set and I love them!"
"Callaway is a legit brand and these are solid clubs that any respectable golfer would be happy to rock."
"I second the Stratas. I have the 16 pc set and love them. They're really light and affordable."
"I’m a huge fan of Calloway Preowned (website). It’s a fabulous money saving option if you can hit/use any calloways and like them."
"The best bang for your buck is probably the Callaway Edge set at Costco."

Ping
4.1
(10)
"Ping's Rolling Travel Cover is the best."
"Once my boy got more serious we upgraded to the Ping Prodi G."
"Old ping G series"
"Find a used set of standard name brand (Ping, Calaway, etc.) in decent condition and have fun."
"Get some older big Ping game improvement irons like the G400s."
"I will check out the G425s. If they are solid and forgiving, that might be exactly what I need now."
"The best option for you is something like Ping G425 irons from 2021."
"Ping G10 or G15 you can find them cheap on ebay at this time of year."
"Yardages are consistent and fly high."
"My preloved Pings and Taylormades sold the fastest on FB marketplace."

"Get a fitting. Go somewhere that works with multiple brands and uses a launch monitor."
"Shameless plug (proud of my Dad) for http://www.deadsolidperfectgolfclubs.com"
"Give him the money and let him select. It’s way more complicated than just picking a club."
"Bring him down to your local shop and have him get fit for a new driver!"
"Golf clubs are kind of like shoes. You might know my size, but you really don’t know what hits home for me."
"I went to Golftec in Mequon for mine last year. Took a month or so to get the clubs."
"I did Golftec and had a good experience. The fitting itself was thorough."
"Look for good reviews on 'game improvement' or super game improvement irons."
"Check Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for used sets."
"The cheapest set you can find. Look for used clubs on the internet."

Wilson
4.0
(9)
"If you’re just starting out and want a brand new set I highly recommend it."
"You can get brand new Wilson sets with bag and all for cheap on Callaway pre owned."
"Wilson Golf has a $400-500 dollar set that many people think is a good deal."
"I got a used set Wilson set through FB and it ended up being really great, and have piecemealed my set and slowly upgraded from there."
"I got Wilson SGIs mainly because they were in petite. My instructor said they were a good starter set and you can always upgrade."
"Wilson profile"

TaylorMade
4.2
(6)
"More forgiving and longer."

"Planning to get a Taylormade Qi"
"If you want to stick with taylormade: Sim2max- 15k"

Mizuno
4.0
(5)
"Can’t go wrong with a mizuno. The hot metal line is super forgiving yet still feel awesome."
"Gaming the Mizuno mx-23 solid clubs and very affordable and forgiving."
"Really good bang for the buck at just under $1,000 new."
"They have the Mizuno shaft optimizer."
"Mizuno 221 blades with x100 shafts with a Newport 2 putter. That's top of the line gear but probably not for beginners."
#7
Top Flite
3.8
(5)
"These clubs are the move. If you get serious, you will learn what you love or hate."
"Top Flight Set is like $200 USD and you get driver 3 wood 5-9, a wedge (pitching I think?), a putter, and a bag. Best if you’re just starting"
"My wife got a Top Flite set for pretty cheap iirc. It worked fine for a true beginner."
"It's hard to beat the value of the starter Top Flite or Strata sets."
"Top flights really aren't bad clubs. The driver is heavy but with some practice you can reach out with one."
#8
PXG
3.6
(5)
"These are excellent clubs. Don’t let the PXG haters tell you otherwise."
"PXG is just as good as all the others. With that said, don't invest in new clubs as a beginner.. you can build a great set for around $500."
"The 0211 line is very affordable, especially if you qualify for the military / first responder discount."
"Player irons, game improvement, ect of your a first timer i always lean to the super game improvement irons or game improvement irons that offer a lot of forgiveness. I've hit some pxgs and yes a good market campaign but, they were forgiving."
"I’ve had 3 different sets of PXG’s and have been disappointed each time. All the models were supposed to be “ game improvement “, but I found them to be below average in distance and forgiveness."
