My husband started getting into golf by going to the driving ranges. He wants a full golf club set for christmas but I dont know which brand is the best. I see alot of name brands but im just so confused. Some are hybrid, others are graphite. I dont know whichs ones better. Please let me know what is the best brand of golf clubs out there. Thanks.
I would love to get him a golf bag and a gift certificate so he can swing a few of them but I just dont know how much to put in the card, and there are some on ebay that come all together. I know that if you buy a club at a time, its going to be more right? I dont know. Im not familiar with this sport. Help!
Sun Mountain makes the best bags and makes them for most of the major compaintes like Ping and Titliest

Get him a gift certificate, maybe in a golf bag, for his clubs. He really needs to swing a few to see what he likes best.

any brand is good in the right hands. i’d recommend having him go get lessons before buying clubs to get a basic swing. then have that same teaching pro fit him to clubs. the endless variations of clubs (offset, non-offset, lie angles, club face angles, shaft stiffnesses, shaft lengths, etc.) makes it critical to get properly fitted.
but if you want some general rankings, golf digest rates clubs every year. personally, i’m partial to ping because they have a lot of different variations without having to have them custom made.

I started playing in January and Nike slingshots were recommended for me by my pro shop, I was fitted by the pro for my swing plane etc. I would say that getting a gift certificate is the best way to go and include a fitting with a qualified pro usually working at a driving range where he or she can watch your husbands swing and select the best clubs for him.

The best brands now are Callaway, Taylor Made, & Nike. These are the clubs people want for gifts. Steel shafts are better. Graphite used for seniors. Hybrid are fine. That just replaces the 3 and 4 irons with fairway irons, which most guys like. You get your best deals buying the whole set. And, guys like their bags to match their clubs.

I’d suggest getting a starter set first, somthing like Wilson Powersource. Found one in here, $140 (17 pcs, including woods, hybrids, irons, driver and putter)

He would possibly change his clubs later once he get a groove into his own swing style in about a year.
In addition, subscribe him for some golf lessons.

The best thing to do is to go to Golfsmith and Golf Galaxy’s web site (see below) to look at clubs and get an idea for prices. Good brands include Nike, Callaway, Cobra, Adams, Ping and others.
I would recommend either Cobra or Adams, they are very high quality but tend to be a bit less expensive. They are also very forgiving clubs for beginning golfers.
You can also get an idea as to how much to spend on a golf bag, don’t skimp here.
Then, get him a gift card for either Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith so that he can go there and be fitted for his clubs and be able to do a hands-on comparison of bags.

Let him pick out what he wants, no matter the brand. If he picks them he will be happy.

you cant buy him clubs, that is the worst thing you can do for a golfer, he has to test alot of clubs and pick out his own set that is the only way to ensure he will be happy, trust me on this one

The best are Mizuno, Callaway, Nike, Ping. For 14 clubs of this caliber you’ll need $2000.
The best thing would be a certificate for a club fitting.
