- I gave myself the challenge to spend £100 in sports direct and walk out with a full set of golf clubs and then test them on the driving range to see how they did!

Bought a Sports Direct set 2 years ago to get back in the game, have served a purpose and now ready to move to the next level in clubs.
@Peter the Great “pairs”
SPORTS DIRECT IS FOR WANKERS!!!!
I've been a beginner for 20 years and these are the clubs I'll always use😂 but as long as they do a job then brilliant! Great review 👍
You can't beat a good old Donnay Slammer II. I got one for £10 and can outdrive my peer group with it including blokes with a £200 driver. I won a longest drive competition on a Stag day and it really pissed off the organiser. It's so good I bought a spare for when I break the first one.
Perfect for someone just starting out in golf,you will make someone happy
hit the nail on the head ! i had cheap irons to start playing a couple years ago and it helped me get hooked into the sport. The V300 balls at £20 for 48 are also great value, as a high handicapper I can feel barely no difference in hitting them compared to pro v1's and the like that i find .... added benefit is you relax and focus more, its only 41p if it goes swimming ....
You know what mate, I love watching this channel. You seem a top lad, independent views on clubs & modern golfer. Ripping that golf ball. Good job 👏
I took up golf at the age of 64 just over 8 months ago with an inexpensive set of clubs from another brand. The only clubs missing were wedges. Since starting I have bought 3 Slazenger wedges ( 56; 60; 64) for around £10 each. For very little outlay it has given me the chance to experience using wedges. They do the job and have made me appreciate the challenges wedges present to a novice golfer. On the course all of my inexpensive clubs have not stopped me being competitive with my far more experienced playing partners. Love the channel!
You'd be proud Simon. I picked up an Odyssey O-Works 2Ball Fang Tank putter with the Fusion RX insert and Super Stroke grip for $5! Oh and it came with a set of irons too! 😎
I've been out of golf for the last 10 years and really needed to upgrade mydriver and 3 wood which were 30years old at this point. As someone on a very small.budget I got the slazenger v300 driver and 3wood with r flex graphite shaft. Was half price so cost 40quid including delivery. Not used them yet but happy with the price until I can afford a Callaway epic flash haha.
I bloody love that you've done this. About 9 year ago I won 150 at work. I decided to take myself to sports direct and I bought myself a slazenger panther x package set that I still use to this day. Driver and 3 wood(3 wood got broke by a friend at driving range). 3/4 hybrid. All 3 woods have regular graphite shafts. 5-SW and a putter. I haven't played much golf in the last 9 years but I'm now giving it a proper go and whilst these have served a purpose, I honestly can't wait to get rid of them 😂 they are decent for the price, they will get you through the early days of learning to swing, but they don't give me any confidence what so ever and I think I need atleast a stiff shaft throughout. I hit the driver with a regular shaft 270+ yards consistently. So whilst I've definately had my fun with these, I cannot wait to upgrade my bag and see if there is any difference because ive only ever hit my 9 year old slazenger package set and I'm desperate to try something different. Can't wait you see how you get on with the track man.
ð TooDaddyFam ð look forward to see what you upgrade them too! Hopefully I have given you a few ideas over the last month or so. 👌👍🙌
@@SASGolf aw definately mate. I'd still be clueless if it weren't for your videos really appreciate the tip top advice.
Great vid buddy! Nice to see just a genuine down to earth golf pro review, just shows 90% skill and technique and 10% club imo
I've not even watched this yet but it reminds me of when I first wanted to get into golf I went to JJB and bought a set of slazenger irons for £80. I think they were b51's or something like that. i loved them to the extent I'd love to find a set of ebay to use again for a round or two just to see if they are as good as I remember or if I'm looking back through Rose tinted glasses. Since then I've had ping g5's and now using Mizuno Mp30's and playing off 8. Ah the memories ⛳
Nicely done mate, I'm looking forward to the content we have planned soon!!
James Wiltshire can’t wait as well pal 💪
A few years ago when I got into golf I started with this driver and rescue clubs as well as a second hand set of irons. Did me okay until I was able to afford better.
Keep smashing the very different (from the mainstream) Vlogs pal, breath of fresh-air.
Rob Small thanks rob that means a lot as I’m trying to keep it fresh as possible. 🙌
@@SASGolf on the right tracks matey, good luck in 2020
I inherited a bag my mate sold me some steel Slazenger irons for twenty quid and I just got three hybrids Slazenger for thirty quid , was a bit worried about it but never played a round enjoyed myself and this video has made me feel better about being a beginner with a cheap bag
Just here to say you did a great job on this video... top notch quality!
Thanks for watching guys and Can we get 1000 likes on this vid for my bank balance 😅😬💵🔥
Really great review! There's definitely a market for these for beginners and if you break one in the set, just go and buy another one for £10. Wish I could shape my 'premium' club shots as well as you can with these. Be great to be a good enough player to take these out on the course and shoot a 72 against others with their PXG's 😂
The thing I took away from this vid is that the beard is a fantastic addition to the get up!! Love a 64 degree lob wedge from sport direct! Good work mate!
Tom Perry haha I was only envious of yours, so had to get one myself 😉
Hi Tom, I bought one too last year,love the way it gets right up in the air! I use it when im tight against the edge of bunkers. Always in my bag.
Totally agree providing individual irons for purchase is a great idea/service. Also great to see cheaper brands getting a shout. Irons seem ok worth considering. Just bought 48 v300s to test!
All my clubs apart from my driver are of this standard. I'm just learning to swing the club so its ok for now. If I hit it anywhere as good as you I will be keeping them haha
I played with slazenger driver for 3 years and always found I decent for the money, these clubs would be perfect for my 14year old as I'm try to encourage him to start playing 🏌️♂️👍
Ryan Sloan 100 percent they would be great for him! Thanks pal.
Brilliant sports direct are great for winter balls tees and just fair golf attire, fair play for trying them out.
Had the full set of clubs for the last 12months as I have just started but yesterday went for a club fitting you can tell the difference but I have not lost out because I have had a great time learning with them
Back in the early 80’s as a 10 y/o I bought a 7 iron from a little sports shop. It was a Fila, cost £6. Smashed it around a footy field with found balls. Learnt how to improvise shots with it from flops to chip and runs. Great way to start the game. 👍
Thanks for making a video like this . With so much focus on the top name brands and cost, its nice to see someone think about the golfer that is just starting and may not want to drop 700-1400 on a set . Hope you will consider putting these clubs on the monitor just to see what the numbers are !
I have only been playing a couple of years and really started pushing myself this summer. The thing that excited me the most, happened last Saturday when my 14 year old son asked me to teach him how to play. We went and played 9 holes on a par 3 course, now he wants clubs and gear. Curious on how I should really approach teaching him and gear I should be looking for on a budget. Your videos, including this one have helped more than you will ever know. Do you have a video in the archives that is golf 101 for teaching children? Keep up the great content!
Bought my 7 year old son his first couple clubs from sports direct highly recommended for value for kids :)
Jon Stacey they sure are mate! Great for juniors. 👌
Would love you to take a look at Decathlon clubs, their balls are great
Richard Jourdain Definately, I have a half set from Decathlon and really love to play with them. I have a set of MIZUNO and a set of Ping but keep going back to my decathlon set. Would be really good to get an opinion on them from someone that knows what they are talking about.
@@skithewhitestuff I have a couple of their wedges and they are great
@@richardjourdain1574 no they're not!
@@thehop639 lol, I might of been over exaggerating a bit
It's not for me, I have my clubs but someone's gonna be very happy. Good on yer 👍 ☺. You certainly do it different and well
Here in the USA...you can head to the local Goodwill Store and sometimes find high end clubs for very reasonable prices....along with a bags, shoes and even new polo shirts that get donated. I picked up a nice Ogio bag and a push cart not too long ago for under $25 USD for both of them.
I went and bought a few clubs from sports direct about 9 months ago when I took up golf! The driver head cracked open the first week I had it but the 7 iron goes absolutely miles I've hit it over 220yards, get it on the launch monitor!
The only clubs in my bag NOT from sports direct are my putter, 7wood, 3wood and driver, the irons are dunlop bought from SD years ago, and i can still get around a golf course and enjoy it ! and at the end of the day, thats what its all about for me.
Hi simon, I think you should take on the £25 charity shop challenge!!! Before I took golf up as an actual hobby I bought all my clubs from charity shops, in fact I don't remember spending more than £15 on a full set!!
Steve Castle I wanna! Just tough finding charity shops near me that have any as I have looked. Will keep looking though. Thanks Steve!
Nice video... I bought a full set of Donnay clubs from Sports Direct for around £100 about 15 years ago... Still going strong..
I play with a bright yellow Dunlop hybrid, hand me down callaway irons, a Dunlop driver and a broken bike bag. It all looks like crap but i get a round of golf in for a tenner. The fact i drink a few tins of tennents on the way round just ands to my look.
Had a few sets in my time but the best set I've had are the Wilson x31s. You can find them on eBay for around £120 and are a few years old and very popular. There's also a lot of range in sizes and a ladiesb and junior I believe too
nothing wrong with those shots .. look bloody good value .. I'm going to bu some for my son.
Just about to take up golf at the age of 44 and having my first coaching session next week. Not buying clubs until I decide if it's something I want to get into, but enjoying lots of videos at the moment. Just wanted to point out that the parking of the car and van at 0:41 was pretty snug... 😳
Interesting , good to get individual clubs for young adult starting in golf . Glad you keep it real for learners .
We kitted out a friend of one of my many Grandsons earlier this year so that he could play golf with my Grandson. We looked at the clubs in Sports Direct but we eventually went into our local Decathlon store and bought the clubs there. The Decathlon clubs were more expensive but I was really impressed with the quality of their golf equipment.
PS I also bought myself a pair of their golf shoes and a pack of their premium golf balls and was Very impressed!
I bought the same clubs well pleased with them😀
Slazenger, Seve used them for a time. They used to make great clubs. Sadly we will say the same about Nike in a few years. You did hit some good ones there. How was the distance, which is what beginners worry about?
Seve played Slazenger long before Sports Direct bought them and turned them into a budget brand. They used to be one of the names in golf. James Bond had slazenger in Goldfinger!
Would like to see comparison against £100 of second hand clubs 👍 good stuff
Dale Penn : That’s what I was thinking Dale. But would that £100 budget include getting the clubs re-gripped?
I have 5,6,7,8,9,SW,PW, Hybrid, wood and driver V300's in my bad, at first they were tricky to hit but now they are insane
Excellent review and idea, been looking at upgrading my son’s junior clubs and was thinking about the Slazenger clubs from sports direct. He’s like going to the range with me but has recently said that his clubs seem to short for him. This review has really helped to make my mind up that these clubs would be ideal for his next step up. Would love to take them of your hands if possible if not I’ll still be getting some for him from my local store. ⛳️🏌🏻♂️👍🏻
I can always rely on you for quality content! I love the videos and I am a beginner in golf and I would love to have the chance of taking them clubs off yours hands 😀 really informative and keep up the good work!
Good review
Sports direct great for gloves
Ray Ford Hq saw those! They definitely are good value!
What a great vlog , not everyone knows if they will like golf , so it's perfect, my 12 year old grandson wants to try golf these would be perfect , please could you pop caleb in the draw ty Simon 👍👍
My son would love them. He's using my old Callaway irons and a mix of knock off hybrids and woods but they are like 12yrs old. He would be styling at his next First Tee session..
Great video. Growing a beard will definitely add 20 yards onto your long drive haha
Alan Walmsley haha that’s the theory! 😅
My mate had a girlfriend like those clubs years ago , he waited till it was dark before he took her out too lol .
“My mate” we know it was really you....😂
Rumbled
Was she a bad driver too, and did she have scratches on her face?
That's funny. Hee Hee. Thanks for that..
🤣 literally laughed out loud
Those ball flights!! 😋😍
I started with a £110 set of irons. 3 woods were £120 and a putter was £15. In 1988. So 100 notes in 2019 is a very cheap set. Ideal beginners set. Be interesting to see if there is a full set available for the £235 I spent.
I like the idea of how much per yard for a driver. Be very interesting to see if the latest gear is worth the money. Could find that the £450 driver is costing you £250 for 3 extra yards.
Would love these clubs for my brother just getting into golf!
Love the vids mate!
difficult to control the driver simon? you hit it spot on well from the flight it looked good. irons looked really good for the price i grew up with slazenger when they were quality can't be bad if SEVE has them in the bag or used to.lol. you need to review more budget/old brands that are still going. macgregor are still going try get your hands on the new mactec stuff looks quite nice.
Darren Payce yeah trying too mate, so many brands out there but I like the idea of the macgregor clubs, seen some good ones on eBay. Thanks mate.
SAS Golf macgregor even now still make some decent stuff simon may not be as quality as years ago but they know how to make a club that works if you can get them, great vid or vids to watch mate shows peps you dont need to spend wads when you can play for a cheap budget👍🏻
When I started to play golf I did exactly this. Went to Sports Direct and bought a £9.99 Dunlop 7 iron and a £14.99 Dunlop putter. I didn’t want to spend £100’s at American Golf at the time not knowing if I would even enjoy the game in the long run. The clubs served me well and I added an 8 and 9 iron and a wedge quite quickly. By the time I was ready to be let loose with a driver I went and brought premium clubs and retired the Dunlops which I donated to my local golf center for future learners of the game. I recommend anyone else considering to learn the game to start off similar. You’ll know when it’s the right time to upgrade.
I would like them to give to my son in law who only plays once a month and is still using his dad's old clubs. would make a nice surprise Xmas present. Enjoying the content 😁
AT LAST!!! I Watch so many pros on you tube and have asked them all to try these clubs. You're the only one brave enough. Bravo.
I have this set and totally agree with your initial assessment of the irons. I think they're fantastic and they helped me break 90 for the first time this year. I've now gifted them to my son as he's just taken the game up and I've upgraded to Taylormade R9tp. What a difference but I'll always have a soft spot for the V300 Slazengers
Went to a driving range a while back, thought it would be a piece of piss smashing the balls, oh my I was so wrong
As a beginners set they got me going but the driver shafts are on the week side
Beautiful swing!
Great video and advice I would say those irons definitely good bang for the buck I just won a set xx10 irons in a raffle. Also placed 2nd in my flight with 42pts
Got my ping eye black dot clubs from a flea market near me £18 fro 3-pw £10 re-grip . Work £100 on eBay last set I got from sports direct £38 broke the 7 and 9 iron on the driving range lol but cheap as a round of golf at decent course
I have a set of max-fli red dot, forged irons. Paid £60 with newish grips. True temper dinalight shafts. Just as good as my miura mc 102. (2008)
Probably '86/87
Waiting until it's dark to go down and hit them.
Love it😄😄😄
My first video to watch on channel and would love the clubs to try at golf.
Decent swing dude, god shots, nice video. Like you said, lumps of metal on the end of a shaft! Well wee bit more to it than that.
I have a 24° hybrid... I bought 17€ for testing purposes. Hard to hit, literally 😅 Interrested in an in depth irons test !
Hey big fan here! I have been watching since the days of the 30 day swing change. I remember I was very interested in the game then but I never got a chance at getting after it with work. I have recently got a new job and have had more free time, I am interested in how to get better at golf and I found myself watching your classic 30 day vids, I would love to have those clubs to get myself into the game.
Love the vids 🤙 keep it up!
Best of getting a second hand set of second hand irons from a good maker that's 5 6 years old been down this route thing to get back onto golf couldn't hit any of them from about 5 years ago. Got some cobra second hand irons hybrid and callaway driver for about 150 quid never looked back
I currently have this full set of slazenger v300s and would recommend them to anyone.i shoot low 80s consistently.ive had the clubs for two years and they hold up well.i used to spend a lot more on golf clubs but there's really no point, don't waste your money on high end clubs it makes no difference whatsoever. It's all about the person not the gear. First learn to hit a golf ball out the middle then go watch how OMP from the golfmates channel plays golf. You'll enjoy the game alot more.stay on the fairways!
Amazing incredible value. Guessing another £50 gets you a bag, trolley,balls, tees and a glove and maybe shoes?.
So 150 all in?
Just paid that for a round of golf in Portugal!!
Henwick Driving range, my local range LOL, good review of these clubs, got the V300 Putter, its OK for me but actually prefer the Benross I got afterwards, but for the money, then no complaints, it does what it says on the tin (so to speak)
Barry Skeates potentiality see you up there this winter then!
Really interesting comments Thank u
Bro, I’ve just taken up golf and would really appreciate the set, I payed £4 for my set and there in terrible condition makes me want to quit before I even got going. Thank you. Love all your videos 👍
Interesting :). Good video. Love your shopping or bargain results.
Slazenger golf is owned by Dick's Sporting Goods in the US. They are a bargain brand in the states also, but have never seen them that cheap. Mostly individual rescues, fairways, drivers, and boxed sets.
suzie correia got you, never new that. Thanks Suzie!
Great for beginners, but to be honest shop around and you will get a decent set for £100 on ebay. I sold a taylormade r7 driver, old great big burther 3 wood and a full set of taylormade 360 irons for £100. Now play mizuno mp53 irons and taylormade m2 2017 driver and these will stay in my bag until they break. All those cost me less than £300 Secondhand
welsh golfer yeah 100 percent if you know what to look for second hand is the way forward. It’s just difficult I guess if you after the game, you don’t know what to look for. Thanks pal. 💪
I re-started golf with a second hand set of these for £30, with a bag. Done me ok for 3month until I decided I wanted to play golf again.
I bought a Dunlop starter set from sports direct and shot an 82 after about 6 months haven’t got close to that since with a set of Taylor made 😂😂
Rather than buy the driver and hybrid new,you can pick up loads of used ,but once top of the range clubs for little cost . 100£ is probably only 5 rounds ,so if you really want to play ,probably better to buy a coaching course for beginners .Since you're wasting ANY money on clubs ,if you don't have a swing!
I plan on spending around £30 on a Slazenger Graphite 7 Iron and Slazenger 6 Wood. Got no interest in the full game, I'm purely a driving range guy and pretty much a beginner. Waiting on June 15th, END THE LOCKDOWN!
Great to chat this evening Simon. See you again soon!
I paid £15 for a Donnay Slammer II driver 12.5 degree over 10 years ago. It's great.
Would love your opinion of what some good older blades would be? Have been scouring eBay and any used sites I have come across a lot of Ben Hogan’s and Wilson staffs as well as miura Japanese forges irons. Let me what you think have my eyes on titelist 690 mb to 714 mb cheers !!!
Top vid, Great content as usual, cheers.
Love the credits at the end of episode 1 lolz
Nothing wrong with cheap clubs most I’ve spent is £38 fir full set of Texan power 2 I’ve had them 10 years still do a job
fantastic!!! cant wait to watch!!
john V thanks John! It’s one of my best I think!
You left some of your bad shots in the video? I guess I have to redefine my bad shots because yours were better than my best shots.
jporter504 lol, too true, my bad shots banana left, right, thin it chunk it!
The beard is looking AWESOME!!!
beautiful swing
Got similar slazenger half set for my son getting into golf at last ( another excuse to play )...the hybrid is shocking been binned already everything else is quite decent for the money no difference really to my made to measure clubs he enjoys using them but not looking forward to the question coming soon "dad can I get the same clubs as rory "
Richard Argent haha greats tory mate and that question won’t be too far around the corner 😅
0:41 that's a bit to close for comfort
I just recently paid £130 for a ping 4 hybrid. I don't hit it any better than my old 10 quid 5 rescue from a charity shop. Oh well you live and learn.
I liked this before I'd even watched it 😂
This is exactly where I got my first driver from, so, fond memories.....
Same😂
Newbury eh? You're just down the road
*yay*
