Tips & Warnings
If you are buying a first set of clubs, consider buying used or demos as a starter set.
While trying clubs out, hit clubs with different kinds of shaft flexes. Try steel shafts as well a graphite.
Consider buying clubs online. Remember to factor in shipping and handling costs as well as delivery time. Having the clubs sent directly to the recipient can save you time and postage.
On a per club basis, full sets generally cost less.
It's all right to have woods and irons from different manufacturers.
