  • £300 vs £3,000 Golf Clubs: what are the differences? With so many cheap and expensive options in the market today, is it worth splashing out on a set of custom-fit golf clubs? Or are you better off saving with a budget set?

    As an owner of a set of Wilson golf clubs (£350 with bag) I can assure you that buying better clubs is not going to make me a better player. I kinda agree with Pete's sentiment (kind of...) but focus on practice and lessons before thinking you can buy yourself into a low handicap

      I've got a similar box set that's the core of my bag; I've just been upgrading as I realize I need to (or, as I find a deal to jump on). That's one major advantage of a box set -- you're set to play golf immediately, and can take your time upgrading if you like.
      And, yes, money spent on lessons for beginners is going to pay more dividends than money spent on gear. It's a poor mason that blames his chisel, as they say.

    I started playing golf last year and bought a cheap package set to begin with, and like others have now started to upgrade the set as its not as good as I would like it to be. I do think that choosing from the second hand market is really tough though if you don't know what you are looking for and I think that stores like golf bidder could offer a second had pre-selected "Starter bundle" that might really help those of us who want to try it.

    I'm a big fan of the solo match play when I can do it. I usually play "smart" golf vs "hero" golf so the "smart" ball almost never sees the driver off the tee and plays "proper" golf while the "hero" ball goes for every green from the tee box regardless of yardage and always has a gap to hit through.

Surely the message in this video should be that golf is accessible and anyone can play using the equipment they can afford. Instead the message has been don't bother if you have these clubs or they are all you can afford

      You totally missed the point. For 300 quid you can build a quality second hand set from places like ebay and golfbidder, and they will look and feel so much better than the wilsons. The majority of my bag is made up of second hand stuff, titleist 690cb irons 3-pw ive had for ten years that were 72 quid in the golfbidder auction! 3 vokeys that were about 50 each. My titlesi 970d driver and ping g25 3 wood were freebies from friend who upgraded. My clubs are great and cost me buttons.

    "As soon as you get any level of better, you're going to want something better."
    Can confirm; I bought a PowerBilt box set last year to get into golf, and I've been slowly replacing it, piece by piece, as I found gap holes (big gap between 150 and 200 for me with the 3w and 5h, and the lack of wedges meant I needed to add wedges to the mix for short shots) or other issues (I'm tall; I needed a longer-shafted driver and 3 wood than the set had). The main advantage of an inexpensive set like this is that it'll allow you to get out on the course tomorrow and play. Maybe not great -- I'd guess the average golfer won't lose as many strokes as Peter did, but certainly some -- but you CAN play them. Contrast with a rank beginner looking at the second-hand market, which can be bewildering.
    Box sets are good for going to the driving range and learning to swing a club. They're good for a fun round. And you can upgrade as it comes. My next big buy is going to be new irons, but I'll wait on that until the grips start to go, as "honey, it was either $100 for new grips, or a bit more for new, fitted irons."

    State-of-the-art, top-dollar clubs might save the average recreational golfer a handful of strokes per round. More strokes to be saved by practicing your short game, and exercising better course management. If you have some cash to spend... go get a lesson or two from your local pro. Club upgrades can be had pretty cheaply if you're willing to hit discount/secondhand shops and garage sales. I recently picked up a used Biggest Big Bertha 9 degree driver for $20 and a very nice Cleveland sand wedge for $8.

  • @FloridaManRacer
    @FloridaManRacer 2 роки тому +15

    Did you adjust for the fact those shafts were more light weight? Or did you take your standard strength swing knowing they were lighter and bend the shaft on impact like a pretzel? For a beginner or a senior player these clubs would perform much better than this showcase lets on and I'd bet good money on it. Also, I don't feel some of the points made in this video matter for the person this set is aimed at. Bulky club head size? Who cares? Can't hit 300yds on a drive? Who cares? The whole point of this set is to teach you how to get the ball in the air and do it straight, not go out and shoot scratch golf.
    I personally think the mindset of this particular video was way off. I know you're capable of hitting a ball VERY well, but you are not the demographic for this set of clubs. A 16 yr old who wants a nice looking set for their first clubs is. A 75 yr old playing executive golf on shorter courses is. (A skiny weak 37 yr old like myself with an 85 mph club head speed is lol) You've got to take that into account in the future. Not everyone is a PGA Golf Pro who can ball strike like a monster, shape shots and flop a 60 degree wedge into the hole from 35 yards.

    @ludwigslughole9403 2 роки тому +3

    Box sets are perfect for beginners. And I do mean perfect. They come with everything you need to get started. Considering you're probably taking 110-130 shots to get round 18 holes, you just need something that gets you started and you will hit them sweet once in a while and that's all you want. Once you feel you're improving just at being able to hit the ball, let alone worrying massively if it's going straight, then you might consider upgrading.
    Box sets have a place in golf, but not for a pro like Pete, so it's no surprise he hated them.

I play 70 to 80 rounds a year while I agree they are not the best they will work.

    There is a market place for all budgets and handicaps from the social player to golfers who really want to strike the ball more consistently. I have played for 20 years and enjoyed playing golf. I recently got fitted for clubs and realised that my clubs were 1/2 inch too short and causing inconsistent hits on the ball. It is very easy to spend money on clubs to play better and add yards to each club but it depends on budget and how serious you want to lower your handicap. Keep the videos coming love the content.

Some golfbidder items and searching for deals and I now have a G425 driver, Sim 2 Max OS 4-AW, Mizuno SW and a Taylormade Spider Putter.

Clubs wise you have to get fitted to play your best and for me these two are the best brands for irons.

    400£ plus VAT. Combined with the Coscto wedges (best deal of the year at about 120£) you are looking at 650£ about with bag for 13 clubs. Just saying....

    i picked them up to get me back into it. Not played in nearly four years and second game shot +18 and they are majorly better than my old clubs in terms of consistency. I can feel the irons are shorter than when I use my mates clubs, and the driver (for me) will not carry past 249 no matter what. With my mates driver I can easily hit 270+. That said I paid £300 for these which is one quarter of the cost my replacement set over the next year will cost. I'll have more lessons and drop my handicap first then upgrade afterwards.

    The only "fair" test would be a high handicap golfer playing the same two sets. He/she wouldn't have your tremendous swing speeds, negating the effects of the much better shafts your clubs have. An even better test would be to have a $300 box set against a set of more expensive clubs off the shelf/rack with the same basic shaft's - regular/stiff or senior. My final thought is that no beginner cares much about cosmetics or sounds.
    That all said I really did enjoy the video and wish you an upcoming Merry Christmas.

Callaway steelehad irons second hand 280 pound, titelist wedges costing me roughly 35 pounds each second hand and odyssey putter costing me 60 quid total 570 pound for my clubs. So my set has costs the 5th of the price of petes. And to be honest the steelheads are immense I tried some of the new irons and I don't feel like they are any better.

    The law of diminishing returns always applies. Yes, spending more will get you better quality, but the improvement will not be commensurate with the additional cost. This becomes more true the more you spend. Most important, you need to be good enough to get the best out of better kit. I've come to golf late in life (mid 60s) and have started with used, decent, but nothing special clubs, courtesy of eBay and the advice of a couple of golfing pals. My main sport (at which I am reasonably accomplished) is fly fishing. I own some very nice rods (Hardy and similar) but I didn't start out with them. I learned with more modest kit. When I did treat myself to high end rods, I appreciated and was able to use them properly. If you have, say, a couple of thousand to spend, spend a thousand on kit and the rest on lessons. You'll be better off in the long run.

    Own bag bias! forcing wilson to concede a hole due to laziness, and then not giving the 3k bag a penalty stroke for dinging his own cart

    i got those same Wilsons, they come in steel shafts as well, and they're actually pretty good, the finish on the driver is a bit meh, and the grips are a bit squiffy but I've only been playing 5 weeks now and my 6 iron is going 180 yards

    A.) can you do a 2-iron video with the UDI? I got one and I can see the potential that it will compliment my bag, but I’m struggling to get it to fly >200y with club speed around 100, and I’m pretty sure it’s my launch conditions/strike.
    B.) are these videos pre-putter fitting, or have you already settled on the Sik to stay in the bag? I was excited for the chance of you getting away from the arm lock, and that new stick you had fitted looked promising!
    3.) Great video as always!

    I like your irritation. I also agree with you. I used to play with those kinds of sets and they typically have the worst shafts ever… like rubber bands.

    The Wilson box set is for new golfers and it is like any sport, the better you get the more you dial in the equipment to optimise you performance. Given I'm crap maybe I should get one of these sets and get rid of my £2000 set now.

    The shafts alone give the Wilson clubs a huge disadvantage already. May try putting on some good shafts on those clubheads, Pete.

    Just to be fair to Wilson the Ultra XD clubs are not even mentioned on their website. Wilson actually does make some pretty nice clubs and I've personally hit some of them that I really liked. They're not cheap either. The Ultra XD line I'm guessing is a special cheapo package that is intended for the start up golfer's first season, just to get their feet wet and see if the sport interests them.

    Now just so I'm clear, is "Wilson" the same Wilson who was a Castaway on that deserted island with Tom Hanks several years ago? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Wilson actually got rescued first. I never really kept up with him after that. Great content and I'm cheering for you Pete. If you need a caddie let me know. I'll try and find you one. Lol. Cheers buddy.

  • @casualatwork
    @casualatwork 2 роки тому

    These golf clubs are not meant for you either, Peter. The shaft is too weak for your swing hence the slice. It is a set for absolute beginners. I had these for a year until they couldn't keep up with me anymore. Then I got fitted on all the Taylor made clubs. Wilson has a great beginner's kit here!

  • @karituominen8593
    @karituominen8593 2 роки тому

    I second that thought, get good second hand clubs rather than new crappy ones, though they do have a place for people who aren’t sure if they like the game or not. They’re easy to get and cheap, but that’s the only positive i find in them 😄

  • @baldwinbonney
    @baldwinbonney 2 роки тому

    Love the videos, Pete. Agree with the sentiment, but wonder how the comparison would go if you slowed your swing down to around 90-95 mph driver head speed. Would think the "men's shaft" might seem a bit more playable than the shafts you're using. Just guessing though...

  • @Jason-bq2tr
    @Jason-bq2tr 2 роки тому

    Hey Pete, love this video but would love to see you and an 18 handicapper test both sets. I imagine (I may wrong) that the Wilsons are probably more forgiving for the high handicapper.

  • @kensei21
    @kensei21 2 роки тому

    It's not a fair test. Regardless of the clubs, you are practiced and have played and allow for the 'way you play' you're irons. I'm sure if you hit 500 range balls with each Wilson you'd get to know the shape and flight of them. Yes the stats will Prob always favour the better club but if we just talking 'how playable' are they. Well you'd have to play a good few rounds with 2 seperate sets after you had 'got used' to the clubs. If you knew the shaft was weak and was going to draw you'd be aiming accordinly. 👍

  • @dawiezwiegelaar3264

    I feel these are 2 extremes. 3000 vs 300.
    I bet there is pro golfers who doesn't have 3000 worth of golf clubs.
    I think it's important to notice that when pxg came out they were some of the most expensive clubs in tthe world and ended up being some of the sorts clubs made.
    The price tag never guarantees the golf course score. Buy what feels right.

    I bought a full set of Callaway XRs from ebay for about £500 then added a putter and wedges also from ebay.
    Ive tried out Epics and Rogues (which at the time each club costed as much as my entire set), and I honestly seen no difference in performance.

  • @danwallis1984
    @danwallis1984 2 роки тому

    These cheap sets are aimed at beginners, but i think that what is more worthwile is a starter half set. Thats how i started years ago. 3W / 5/7/9/W/SW + putter
    Gets you going pretty cheaply and a beginner is never going to consistently hit a driver. Not having all of the clubs forces you to learn to hit knock down shots and PRACTICE. Then after a bunch of lessons and experience you can move up to a decent full set.
    Don't think i will ever go for a brand new set, as there are decent 2nd hand ones, 4-5 yrs old that would do just nicely unless you have money to spend.

  • @josephkidwell4496
    @josephkidwell4496 2 роки тому

    I have a Wilson tour distance 4 hybrid in my bag for when I need to hit a perfectly straight 200 yard shot. I have never hit a shot with it that had any sideways movement on it. It goes dead straight wherever the face is pointing…but it feels like I’m hitting a rock with a brick, even with pro V1s.

  • @cameronclark8052
