THOUGHTS…Is it better to buy name brand golf clubs, generic size, or no name custom fit clubs?
I AM LOOKING TO GET A NEW SET OF IRONS THIS SEASON. AT 6′0″, 215 LBS FIT WITH A SWING SPEED OF ABOUT 80-90 MPH, I AM WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER A “MIDDLE-HANDICAPPER”. AFTER DEMOING SEVERAL CLUBS AND READING MANY REVIEWS, THE NIKE SLINGSHOTS ARE THE FRONT RUNNERS. HOWEVER, SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD GET MORE FOR MY MONEY IF I GOT CUSTOM FIT, NO NAME BRAND CLUBS. YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WELCOME. THANKS! (SORRY FOR THE CAPS, YAHOO THINKS IT IS RUDE!)
Either way you decide to go you should get the irons custom fit. For some reason the golf consumer believes that name-brand clubs off the rack are “better.” This is simply false.
If the average Joe could witness the hours of tweeking that go into a touring pro’s clubs, then they’d realize that it’s not the name on the clubhead, it the custom fitting that makes it all work.
To get everything just right, your swing has to be analyzed either with computer or by lots of experimentation or, preferably, by both.
A book that you may benefit greatly from is Tom Wishon’s “The Search for the Perfect Golf Club.” (See link 1)
See link 2 for a quick Q&A discussing custom clubfitting.
No, I do not work for nor am I associated with Wishon Golf in any way, shape, or form. I actually play a set of Golfworks irons, TaylorMade driver (a gift…would never have spent that much on a driver), and a SeeMore putter (like Payne Stewart’s).

looking for reviews on golf clubs and more .com?
“YOUR” club will depend on your skill level, height, speed of swing, and preferred type of golf ball.
If you improve, and your swing changes, then you have to start all over again. This is the premise behind the PING clubs. It will never become perfected as everyone will blame their clubs, balls, or something.
Ignore reviews. It is like asking what type of aluminum can do you prefer(ignoring contents). Whatever works for you is best!
You MUST TRY THEM OUT FIRST though. Variations in shaft material will alter dpending on your swing strength etc.
REMEMBER, it is ONLY MARKETING, and therefore Dollars $$$$$$$$. If you could buy the “right set” for $1,000,000, you’d be a billionaire in a week. Some like Pepsi….others swear on Coke.
YOU MUST CHOOSE !
