A opne year that can type as well as play golf ! When I was a kid my father cut my shafts down for me so the clubs fitted, but how short must your shafts be at that age ?!?

I bought that exact set of irons for my build. Golfed frequently when i was 14-17, now i'm back at it at 34 and these irons kick ass.

Watching this has assured me of my own budget bag, I had a similar philosophy having just started last year that the more important thing was the practice and that getting an expensive new set would only lead me to frustration of falsely feeling like they were supposed to do the work for me. My bag is built for $500 canadian (about 300 GBP) and in similar fashion the main money went into the irons. Taylormade R11 Driver ($90) Callaway XR16 3W ($50) Callaway X2 Hot iron set (PW-4I) ($280) Taylormade RAC HT 50 & 55 ($40) Taylormade RAC 60 ($30) Tour Edge Backdraft B2 ($20)

Such good advice, not just for beginners. I am a mid-handicapper returning to the game after a break, tried lots of clubs from golfbidder and ebay, sold them on again. Settled on Ping i15 irons, Ping Tour W wedges, Taylormade M2 hybrids & woods. I did spend big on a new Odyssey Stroke Lab putter though, which is working well for me.

This information is gold thank you, ah this is so helpful because yes I am a beginner and I am still learning to stand and how to cut is straight, I see zero point to spent 3k on a bag, because if I can't hit it straight, I am wasting money, learn to golf and then spend the money, and everyone that does 'what's in the bag' videos are pros that have been golfing since they were kids. I am 39 and I just picked up a club.

Great advice. You are so right about hitting balls into dark clouds with the sun behind-sheer joy !

Great video. Playing the exact irons at the moment. I bought them as a stop gap but I really like them! Your advice holds true for most beginners, BUY PING! great forgiving and hold their value! 10-15 handicapper next please :)

Excellent video. This is exactly what I was waiting for. Saves me piecing together all the beginner recommendations from your WITB videos. I just hope the eBay prices don’t shoot up now!

This video was so helpful for me as I'm starting out. Probably stopped some costly mistakes. Ended up with Taylormade R15 Driver (£72), Cobra F7 4 Wood (£75), Ping G25 3 Hybrid (£40), Ping G10 Irons (£145), Ping 52/56/60 Gorge Wedges (£95), and Odyssey 2 ball putter (£60) - delighted!

Cobra is so forgiving!!!!! Grip and rip

This is a great video, loads of advice. I will share it with anyone who is starting out

Great video Pal, honest & straight to the point. Made some really useful realisation points

Great video! I have the same Ping G irons and love them. Forgiving, very easy to hit, great balance and they look excellent. Absolutely no shame in using a hybrid on a tight par 4.

Such good advice. I'm sending the link to my brother who is thinking of getting into golf. Thanks Simon!

Anyone you know thinking about starting golf they need to listen to this man.. great vid.. not get better advise anywhere.

Off 5 but still got odd wedges all based on distance, amazed when see others having to think about what their 100 yrd club is!

Such a great vid, mate. Having “all the gear and no idea” holds true way too often in this sport, esp for hackers. Guilty myself tbh.

A bigger problem in golf is “reverse snobbery”... if people want to spend their hard earned money on their hobby that is their own business. It doesn’t matter their skill level

I love these videos. They give alot of good advice unlike some other channels pushing the expensive new irons on you. I started playing golf 14 months ago. All my clubs are secondhand of EBAY. 4-PW mizuno MP53 irons M2 2017 Driver M1 3 wood Mizuno T7 52 and 56 wedge Last week bought a secondhand spider tour, The only new club I bought was a 60* ben sayers lob wedge for £25. After playing a year I finally put 3 cards in last week and got a handicap of 10.2. You do not need to spend thousands to improve or enjoy golf.

I’m looking at buying those irons from 2nd hand swing. Is that a good website.

Good stuff Simon. Love the tip about proportional cost aligning to proportional usage. E.g. you will use your irons on pretty much every single hole, so about half or more of all shots is an iron. So half the budget on irons, etc. Putter is tricky, though. Say you are shooting beginner numbers (95-110), you'll be three-putting a lot, but you'll also be scrambling a lot, because you'll miss greens. Say average 36-45 puts, which is around a third of your shots, but that shouldn't mean a third of your budget...

Love these videos. Great job!

Thanks for a great video Simon!

Love the channel. Love your views on the used clubs. I currently play with ping i20 and love em. Keep it up.

Thanks for the info. Brand new to golf and trying to learn more about and what to buy.

I had built a very similar bag a few years back, basically all Ping. But, for some reason, picked up the $500 Costco Edge set and haven't even opened it yet. You are so right on the short clubs and the putter- most of the game is played there. The funny thing is- there are few sets of wedges out there. Nobody seems to review them or mention them when fauning over the lastest clubs.

Great video, I just bought used Cobra Forged Tec irons for only $250 already with Recoil ES780....and I love this immediately. Sold my Honmas and have extras to play for golf.....

Great video! Thanks for the explanation!

Great video Simon. I'm just getting back into golf after several years hiatus. I'm gaming my 2007 W/S fat shaft irons which are in good nick and I can hit them fairly well, but I've replaced the horrible package set 3 wood with a 2nd hand TM M5 Fairway which I use as my driver (adjustable 13-17 deg) and I'm enjoying my W/S South Side putter too. I paid £200 for these 2 clubs but I feel I've finally started to build a decent bag. On the lookout for Ping G15/20s or even a G10 set as my club regrips at £8 per club.

Great vid! Here's my 515£ bag, put together during spring 2020: Driver, Cobra F8, used 70£ 5-wood, Cobra F8, used 60£ Hybrid, Titleist 818 H1, used 65£ J4-PW, Maruman Conductor Power Forged, used 130£ 3x Vokey SM7, new (on sale) 150£ Putter, Ping Scottsdale, used 40£

So happy with the Ping G series irons in this video you sold me 👍Martin

I'm really new to golf, only have a couple rounds under my belt, but I personally love hitting Irons and was considering buying some as my first true set of clubs. I'm glad to see that my inclination wasn't an awful idea lol.

Yonex (random club that works) 58 degree £5 Ping Gsi Piper putter £50 Not a bad deal all in for under £200 and I score sub 90👌

Great video!

The intro to the video is exactly how I started this past summer I. Golf with my grandads clubs then getting a full set of Nike irons for $80 in mint condition then a m2

Hi Simon great video as usual. I'm getting back into golfing and starting to build a bag. Can you list the clubs you would recommend in this video inc hybrid size as there are a number with the same name all with different lofts.

Good advice mate, a good tip I think is to use your utility wood for some chip shots

First of all I would like to say that was outstanding honesty is the best policy when it comes to people playing the game of golf and you hit the nail on the head , I would love you to do a bag for a 15 handicap to single figure say 5 as I am about to buy new clubs as I have the Callaway X 20s ,Callaway alpha driver and Odyssey works Putter I look forward to your comment back I have subscribed to your channel as that is absolutely fantastic it’s about time people got the truth about branded irons wages drivers extremely well done buddy .

Hey mate awesome video and advice 👍 ive started golf with my mate byron around 2years ago but ive got mizuno mx15 lovely clubs what do you reckon about them?? Would love to see a video on that please 🙏

I'd recommend Callaway XRs or XR OS/16 £200-250 for the irons, the woods and hybrids are super easy to come by, maximum £70 for woods (get a 5 wood or a 7 Wood) and hybrids, the driver is about 80-100 Putter get an odyssey white hot or a two ball Wedges, there are plenty of wedge sets available, pick up and old set and just get them regripped.

Hi Si, great content. Can I ask for your opinion, I have a set of ping g410.4 hybrid which I hit 180y ish (carry). I hit both 5 and 6 iron roughly 165y carry. All reg shafts. My swing speed is approx 75mph (relatively slow). I am looking at ping g400 crossover #5 to replace the 5 iron to get a better gapping. To help with launch should I think of soft regular shaft.

I’ve came out $70 up from buying and selling clubs. This is what I have in my bag currently after 3 months. Driver: Cobra F9. (New) 3 Wood: Callaway Epic Flash Sub-Zero. (New) Driving Iron: Srixon ZU85. Irons: Mizuno JPX 900 Combo Set 4-Pw. (4-5 Hot Metal)(6-Pw Forged). Wedges: Taylormade Hi Toe. (52,56,60). Putter: Taylormade White Smoke. These videos have been great! Thanks for all of the advice.

Good show , Adams golf clubs would good , had them in the bag for a few years, disappointed they bump plus still using my YES putter ( bump as well ) if Nike cannot get a toe in the market who can ??

Got fitted 1.5 months ago went callaway rouge driver , seriously cheap now 220 quid with my club discount in my pro shop , was over double that when came out , being fitted sat for irons ( 10 ish handicap) got a grand max but going with whatever works my old yonex 20 years old had from new want something that is going to last a very long time

I always hear how easy Pings are to hit. I used to Wilson X31s and now have Callaway XR irons and the difference is huge. How would you compare Ping Gs and similar to XR? I’ld love to hear about how irons from different brands compare (when they are aimed at the same target market).

Great video, I just bought a new set to get back into the game (Played as a junior 15 yrs ago). Bought a 6-P Iron set for $219aud and a Driver, 5W, Chipper, Sand Wedge and putter at the second hand store 50m down the road for $10 each. I feel I've got a hole in the bag between the 5 wood(20 deg) and the 6i(27 deg) that I should fill with...something, No clue what, Though. Is it as simple as face degrees to fill it or am I making it too simple?

Great video yet again. Exactly what I need! Getting back into golf after not playing since i was younger. I still have my “malibu” irons i bought from Argos back in the day 🤣. I don’t know if I should upgrade yet or not. My short game is ok (used to play pitch and put a lot!) but off the tee I couldn’t hit the fairway if my life depended on it. Do I go for better irons or a more forgiving/ usable set of woods?

Callaway edge is a pretty good bet for this price point!

Love this video, similar to how I set up my current bag, but I'd like to upgrade to fitted driver and maybe irons, got fitted but they could only offer me £400-450 drivers, if I want Longer shafts in my irons or shorter shafts in my driver then how can I get them without spending a fortune? Is it possible to get a fitted driver and irons on a budget of under £500? I see you recommend Benross but that means American golf and they don't have the best reputation when it comes to fitting?

I have a video recommendation/request. I am currently using a 20 or so years old big Bertha driver from my brother. Looking to get a new driver (It's dented up a bit on top and stuff) but it's hard to find more modern drivers that have a smaller head. (Beside the mini drivers but all the big ones they are still easily 150-300). Could give some recommendations on smaller head drivers that hold up to modern day clubs that are under 100 or even 50. Thanks in advance!!!

Had a benross driver and hybrid in the bag. Unfortunately benross driver shaft snapped but the hybrid is my favourite club. Any suggestions for upgrading my driver? Been playing about a year and a half and currently having lessons

G2 please try my friend now I use MB but pings are great cb clubs very forgiving.

Currently looking to upgrade from my Box Set clubs from sports direct over 10 years ago. Any recommendations for decent game improvement irons that won't cost the earth?

What's put me off getting Ping second hand is the wide range of colours and lies. Would you go to a pro to get fitted for them then just try to find a set that matches on the second hand market?

do you have an opinion on what is the best intermediate iron set that is also budget

love this, i think my bag is a perfect example, fully inspired by your channel. still use my Slazenger Driver from my package set. TM Vsteel 3 wood . 25 quid Mizuno MX-15 irons 3-SW £130 RAM wedges, you know the ones. ive learned that much i already had them before your video about them, they were 45 quid. they're like 60 or 70 now Ping Zing USA putter 22.50 plus 11 quid on a new Pingman grip fitted by myself. £233.50 and i have a pretty decent new set of clubs. bye bye package set i also have a ping g400 crossover 3 iron-19dg...i paid 90 brand new for it, but after hitting it in the shop, i had to, they still go for 100 on ebay, so i could sell it right now and make a tiny profit BUT i love it. i now have plenty of options for the top of the bag depending how and where im playing. 3 wood. crossover. 3 iron. and i still have the hybrid from the package set. only need a driver and ill of replaced every club but im in no rush. see how often i play over the next few months and probably save up and buy one beginning of next year, once ive played a full year. 1st year playing golf and ive got 17 rounds in. shot a 86, 79 and 84 with my new bag the last few weeks. im fully addicted hahaha sidenote, this had 2770 views and 277 likes whilst watching.
