What are the best golf balls to buy?

Depends on his style of play. If he likes more control and spin, he'll want a softer ball, preferbly a 3-piece ball or even a 4 piece ball. The Callaway HX Blue series are a good example of this type of ball. They run about $35 a dozen, give or take.\n\nFor distance, a beginer would do well with a 2 piece ball with a hard cover. Generally these types of balls run $15 - $25 a dozen depending on brand and type. The Callaway HX hot is a 3 piece distance ball that runs $25 a dozen.\n\nThe cream of the crop (like the Titelist Pro V1-x or Callaway HX Tour) run about $45 - $55 a dozen. The Pro V1's is the number one golf ball among the elite golfers and professionals. The number 2 ball on the tour would be the Callaway. These ball combine the best of distance and control.\n\nFor the average user though, just use the Maxfli Noodles or Top Flite 3000. They're decent balls and don't run an arm and a leg. The best thing is if you lose one in the woods or the water, you don't get all bent out of shape over losing a $5 golf ball.\n\nHope this helps.

I ordered clubs from both sites below including Nike blades and driver and some Titleist. I also bought Nike staff bag from Edwin Watts, although that I found other site offered cheaper price, I asked them to match the price by emailling them and they reduced the price to match. I ordered from them because they ship cheaper. Otherwise, would recommend you to visit lots of golf shop. Once a set is on sale, they could be really cheap. Play blade is better, because not many people use them, and usually they have overstocked and go on sale a lot. You just need to improve your swing to hit blade (which anyone should anyway).

Whatever you're comfortable with. There are cavity back irons, muscleback irons or combo irons. Since you're a beginner, cavity backs would be most wise for you. musclebacks are more for experienced players and combo irons are good for mid to low handicappers. You'll want to stay away from long irons and replace them with hybrid clubs instead. easier to hit and more versatile than regular irons. Probably forget a driver and stick with a 3 and 5 wood instead which will help your confidence a little. You'll probably be able to hit your 3 wood further than your driver if you notice. As far as brands go, cheap route would be to get a starter set from any sporting goods store or walmart or kmart. They're cheap and usually come with all the clubs you'll need to get started. from there you'll be able to see which ones you hate the most and which you like the best. If you're into brand name then I would either go with Callaway or Taylor Made. Each offer unique clubs both regular and hybrid that would make your game a little easier. But for now, i'd either get a starter set or a nice used set from 2nd Swing, Play It Again Sports or Hit 'Em Again.

There are several good ones. I personally like the Titleist SoLo and the Nike SuperSoft. A lot of people like the Maxfli Noodle. All of these have a soft feel and good distance.

Check ebay, you can find anything on there. And they ship all over the world. Good Luck!\n\nhttp://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=core+secrets+ball\n\nthe eighth one down I think is just the ball, and it's a good price too.

One of the best bargain for women's clubs are the Adams Idea set for women.  These are as good as the top brands but at a fraction of the price.  However, these are still not as cheap as those $200 sets.\n\nAnother option is the Callaway GES.  These have been discontinued, but they are truly excellent for female beginners.  You should still be able to find a set either online or in some stores.  They are extremely forgiving and will help beginners stay interested in the game rather than getting frustrated and quitting.  I would highly recommend the GES based on personal experience.\n\nThe Adams set comes with short irons, long hybrid irons, and woods.\n\nThe GES comes with 3 irons, 3 woods, a putter, and a bag.\n\nHope this is helpful!

Have you hit it, before buying it? The best club in the world may not be the best club for you depending on swing speed, body type etc. \n\nI would highly recommend going to a golf store with a hitting cage or to a range that offers demos and hitting the club before you buy it. \n\nAsk a salesperson and if they are worth their salt they will help fit you with the proper club for your game. Then you can have the option of buying it there, or if that option is too expensive, buying it elsewhere.

Any top end driver will perform well. It is more important to get the correct specs for you. See a club fitter (Henry-Griffitts the best by far) and hit a variety of lofts and shafts until you are making a balanced and free, compensation free golf swing and achieving the ball flight you and your coach desire. DO NOT ever buy a club with out hitting on a range where you can see ball flight.

You should try Luxilon Big Banger Alu Power (with or without Rough - the textured version).  It's the new craze right now and it's being used by a lot of top pros (Federer on his mains, Safin, Hewitt on his mains, Agassi, Dementieva)  It's good because it is partially made out of polyester, which is normally very durable.  Other polyesters may feel a little boardy, but this string is a bit softer as long as you follow their stringing instructions. (10 lbs. less, I believe)  It also has a lot of spin on the ball because the strings practically don't move when you hit with them.  This adds to how much you can bite into the ball to produce that spin.\nWell, hope you have fun.

There is an ebay type web site called www.golfclubexchange.com.  New and used gear of every type.\n\nAs far as quality brands to look for, Mizuno MX series are a nice oversized cast cavity back with a decent offset to assist a high handicapper with keeping the ball in play.  Nicklaus golf has some less expensive sticks that hit well too.\n\nMostly you just need to get into the shops and swing everything that you can get your hands on.  you'll find one or two brands that feel better than all the others and those are what you need to buy.  So much of the game of golf is mental, so finding a set of clubs that feel good and look good at address will definately take strokes off of your score.  \n\nDo Not!!! skimp on your putter.  I have so many friends who will spent $400 on a new driver, but have a $30  putter in their bag.  Putting is the key to lowering your handicap.  Don't be afraid to spend some dough on a quality putter.\n\nGood luck,  and enjoy the game

PartyCrasher:\n\nThese answers are well thought out. But I would recommend a bit different set makeup for you. \n\nIrons: 5-Sand Wedge (56 degree SW).\n\nMake sure to get a cavity backed set, something with offset. If you tell the people at the golf store that you're looking for a forgiving set of irons that's cavity backed and offset, they'll be able to help you. \n\nWoods and hybrids:\n\nGet an 18 degree 5 wood, a 21 degree 7 wood, and two hybrid clubs (these are a cross between a wood and iron) Hybrids: 22 and 25 degree. These are much easier to hit and much more forgiving than long irons. They will make the game easier for you starting out. \n\nGet at least a 13 degree driver, with as big a head as possible, to make it easier to hit. Make sure you get it from a major manufacturer, the off brands may look the same, but their quality control is terrble. \n\nAny 34 or 35 inch putter that looks good to you, one that looks like a Ping Anser is a good choice. Almost all the major manufacturers have a design that copies the original Ping putter. \n\nThis leaves you with thirteen clubs. You can add one more later because the limit is 14, but I would start with this and see how it goes. This set will not be cheap, you will probably spend over 1000.00 easily. \n\nYou might want to see what irons and woods you like at the golf store and then check ebay and see if you can get them used. Just make sure they're not too beat up!! \n\nThe January 2006 issue of Golf Magazine has an article that I referenced for this recommendation, pick it up and use it as a guide to begin your club purchases! \n\nHave fun!!!

Get yourself a 15-pack of Top Flite XL2000's or Pinnacles.  When it comes to new balls for a beginner, that's the best bang for you buck.
