I am going to start playing golf often. I used to play recreationaly in the old days when I was young and poor. I can pretty much afford whatever I want now and plan to buy all new equipment and start playing very regularly. I currently have graphite clubs, nothing fancy. I am considering what to purchase and leaning right now towards the Callaway X-20 irons (graphite) and that's about it. Any advice is happily accepted.

I don't care what BRAND you get...

BUT GET FIT PROPERLY FIRST!!

The sooner you get fit, the better your life will be. The reason most people don't keep a set longer than 2.5 years is because they buy clubs that LOOK good instead of clubs that work FOR them.

Callaway X-20 is an excellent choice in irons, add to that the X series fairway woods, and the FT-7 driver and your loaded for bear. Throw in a Gap Wedge/Sand Wedge/Lob Wedge and your ready to take on all comers. Good Luck to you, and may all your putts be little ones.

I was watching a guy on the range today and he was hitting an ft-7. IT sounded like he was hitting a metal baseball bat. Is this good or bad?

thanks for the responses. I appreciate the help.

I second the motion, before you buy the X20 iron set, get fitted, based on lie angle and club length.

And then try hit the Woods, your driver and fairway wood, and some hybrids. Test them or Do it yourself bro.

X-20 is one of the Best irons I have tested but out of my budget. hehe. And since you have it, go for it.

I asked the guy at ****'s Sporting Goods about custom length clubs and he said that for me, 5'11", I don't need custom. Does that sound right?

I am 5'11" but I have slightly longer arms so my clubs are 1/2" shorter. That is what proper fitting will get you. Naturally you will fall into the "average" golfer ranking unless you are a midget or some kind of beanpole, but it is still good to get fitted properly..

No, everyone should get fit for a set of clubs. Go to a Pro Shop that does fittings. It doesn't cost any extra, plus you may get a free lesson from the Pro.
