Advantages: Easy to hit,easy to keep straight Disadvantages: Not long hitters
I first started playing golf when I was 10 years old but was forced to take a 20+ break due a back problem only returning to regular play two years ago.
I decided to pretty much start from scratch and took my time choosing a set of irons best suited to my 'back to basics' plan.
I picked Taylor Made burners because they have the largest legal club face and a very forgiving play action. I also picked steel shafts as once again they are easier to ... ...made and these are forged (not cast) with a hollow cut back giving a reasonable deep cut into the ball. The original Burners were a little light but the XD's have more wieght and a better feel in the swing. I think these clubs are perfect for serious new golfer looking to improve his game from a handicap above 20 down to about 16 over a period of about 18 months or so. They ARE easy to hit and keep straight,they ARE durable and will take a lot of ...

Advantages: Good Price. Accuracy. Disadvantages: Take some getting used to the distance
...look classy. They have got deep cavity heads with a nice red urethane insert in the head.
I hadn’t set out to get these irons but there was a promotion day down at my local driving range and they had reps from Titelist, Callaway, Ping and Wilson there. It was one of those days where all the range balls were free; you just had to try out the different clubs. Bargain.
I must have spent about 2 hours at the range that day, I tried all the different ... ...on tour who promotes Wilson deep red is Padraig Harrington. He uses his own customised set of Wilson clubs.
After a wait of about 2 - 3 weeks for my clubs to come "custom fit" from the Wilson factory, I finally got chance to try out the whole set.
The first thing that I noticed between these and my old set was the distances were completely different.
This alone took a good couple of months getting used to. So don't expect immediate results.
But ...

Advantages: Looks goos, Feels great and spins loads Disadvantages: None
Th Titleist Vokey Spin Milled is one of the best wedges on the market. The original design by Bob Vokey has not been changed much for years.
The wedge comes in a full range of lofts from 64" - 48" with all types of bounce on it. The wedge is cut using a CAD maching and has about 30% more groove area than conventional wedges so there is more space for the ball to deform in to. The edges of the grooves are more defined and 'sharper' so the friction ... ...I personally have a 58" and I love it. It is an oil can which i think looks better although it has been proven that rust has no noticable affect on the spin rate of the ball. With the oil can it must be cleaned well after use as the dirt and moitsure will make it rust loads. It spins so much as long as the grooves are clean and i use it for everything, pitching chipping from anywhere and bunker play. It has a reasonably heavy head which i think is ...
