i love golf...been playing for about 8-9 yrs and at one point got down to consistently playing in the mid 80's. like everyone said, u can have the best set of clubs on the market, but if u can't hit straight they are not worth sh!t.
As for knockoffs, personally i'm against them. i'm not knocking the quality, most of them are solid clubs, but if u break one, finding a replacement will be tough. especially if u snap your favorite club over your knee...you're screwed.
my best advise is goto a range or a golfsmith store (if they are local to you) and hit a few balls with there demos. if u like a certain club, ask them if they have any used clubs in stock. most of the bigger chains and ranges will take trade ins when they sell a newer set. aside from that approach, look for some of the non flashy types. NIKE, callaway, ping and others are pricey cause they pay pros to play their clubs. TOUR EDGE is a solid club, that many players use, but since they dont pay pros to used them, they are not commonly known. look them up i think you'll be surprise withthe price of the complete set...woods and irons.
