A friend of mne is going to take up golf - I am going to the range with him on Monday to show him a few basics and get him booked up for some lessons.
he has asked me about what set to get and I have told him I would have a look around and see what I can get. Usual beginners rules are in my head - no need for long irons, a hybrid, forgiving driver and a sw. I'm also trying to get set, bag and shoes for about £450
I have a shortlist that I am keeping an eye and would appreciate any feedback
Drivers - budget £80
Taylor Made R580xd
Cleveland Launcher (Interested to know what people think of the 460ti)
Hybrid - 21 or 23 degree - Budget £50
Cleveland Halo
Cobra Baffler
Adams Idea
Irons Budget £150
Mizuno MX15, MX17 or MX20
Cobra 3100 I/H
Wedge - Budget £30
Cleveland 588 (found a nice gunmetal one for £30 in decent nick)
Putter £30
I'll just get him to try a few - probably head towards a Ping Anser or a mallett of some sort if he prefers those.
That leaves £50 each for a bag and a pair of shoes and £10 for a few balls.
So what else should I look at and should I try and sqeeze a 4wood or similar in there too?
Thanks in advance
