I made the correct decision to see you when I was starting to play golf around 2003. Great advice! Your expertise has allowed me to continue to play the game I obsessed with after a permanent injury on my right arm. Many thanks. Keep it up with your great work.
Beginners should buy blades. You can’t learn face contact with a Super game improvement iron. Modern blades are also more forgiving than SGI irons, they just don’t have the face speed.
I’m not sure I’d agree that any blades are forgiving and certainly not even close to as forgiving as an SGI but I do agree that juniors should not necessarily learn with overly forgiving heads as it helps then learn to get good strike.
Looking forward to your bag on a budget video...if I wanted to buy second hand clubs would you still welcome me for a fitting with this goal in mind? Of course the big stores offer free fittings to sell you new but I'd happily pay for a fitting with yourselves so I can educate myself on the sort of specs I would be after. I'd just prefer to be open about it but worried that you may be alienated if you knew there wouldn't be a sale at the end of it. Thanks
Thank you. That is absolutely not a problem at all, we can help you find the best options and then we can mud any tweaks for you to them as well (loft and lid alterations, grip change and swingweighting). As you say as long as we know what your situation is and what you want to get from the fitting we can advise from there
If I had to start golf again, I would run with a half set optimized for 80-90mph club speed. Go used, but splurge on the putter you like the best. 12 degree driver, 5-wood, 5-hybrid, 8i, PW, a high-bounce digger 54, and a low-bounce sweeper 54 as a bonus. Put them all in a Sun Mountain 2.5 and bob's your uncle. Figure out the game with your cheap used half-set before you sink more money into it.
Good advice there, some players may need different lofts or club combinations but definitely start small (in terms of amount of clubs) and build up from there
@@Evan_Rodgers Gotta use what makes you happy. I'm not saying splurge as in buy a $400 putter, but I'd rather use a $100 putter that I love than a $2 putter I hate. Best part about putters is you can spend literally all day in the big box store playing with them until you find what you like best.
would love to see a video about junior clubs, shafts, balls etc. I have a 10 year old and would like to understand. what could be the right clubs for juniors specially as they are growing fast,
Thanks for watching and great suggestion. We use the US Kids clubs as their head weights are progressed (lighter than standard heads) which is very important

Thanks Peter. Have a great Xmas Andre you in 2025!
And see you!

Nice advice for beginner golfers. How does one know when it’s time to stop playing the beginner clubs and move up to better clubs? Cheers
When there is a pattern of consistent inconsistency if that makes sense? Open the note it can be attributed to equipment handicapping improvement

It’s a waste of money for a beginner to splurge on a putter. Beginners are as bad if not worse at putting than swinging
