There is no size when you buy standars clubs off the shelf. Just juniors, ladies and mens. If you are an averaged size male then just get mens. MRH means mens right handed. I would 100% reccommend trying them out, even if you go down american golf and tried out a few different clubs to see which ones you felt most comfortable with then looked for the best price online.

4 iron Hybrid through to Sand wedge. MRH is Mens right handed. the degrees part means they have various wedges with differing angles.

If your in B. Hill go to the 9 hole Oak barn shop and ask them what you should be buying.

I'v been playing Golf for 18 Months/ 2 years, when i first started I brought a cheap set to start off, then after about 3 months i brought a brand new set of Callaway Irons.

these sets are really beginners sets nothing special but will get you out on the golf course, I would avoid the RAM sets at JJB if that's what your looking at.

If you want a set look at sets between £200-£250 the cheaper ones are really poor, i still have the driver from my set and hit this as well as any driver iv tried since.

The one thing in these sets are the putters are shit and the 3 woods are only really decent off the tee.

Slazenger Golf Big Ezee Graphite Irons 4 Hybrid RH, Slazenger, Irons - JJB Sports

here were the clubs that i were looking at, i was looking to buy a driver(s) seperatatly along with a putter

 

[Munkfish]

How old are you as they are graphite shafts and they are for older players or ladies with slower swings.

Brand new is nice but a good pair of second hand clubs will be better. have you tried Used golf equipment - Golfbidder: The Official PGA Golf Club Exchange

 

[BHA Swiifty]

late teens, around 5ft 9/10 but i would rather try them out rather than buy online

 

[Munkfish]

as mentioned before go and try them in american golf and then look for the best price online.

by the way my younger brother about the same age as you now uses my old irons, hits around 89/90 with them around mid sussex uses a 3 wood and the irons.

Clubs don't matter when you first start so any will do

My advice is buy a second hand set of clubs - cavity back with a regular shaft - talk to your local pro - he will advise you. At the same time book a course of lessons and develop an understanding of how to use them properly. Ignore the crap about Bubba not having lessons, that's bullshit, he was shown how to hit a ball....he just didn't go rough the whole coach academy stuff that the other pros did.

Most golf clubs have pro shops that stock new and used clubs and the pros are specifically trained to teach & advise...that's how they earn their money.

Definitely try some out, and definitely see if you can get some second hand from a pro shop somewhere. Golf clubs are really varied and it will depend on your swing speed and address position along with a lot of other factors to find which ones suit you.

Plenty of golf clubs around and they all have pro shops, so give them a call and do some shopping.

I wouldnt get clubs from jjb... irons last years... id get a decent set for about £300...

You want steel shaft... REGULAR FLEX (not stiff) these are for low handicappers with fast club head speed (a fast swing)

You want something that has a good cavity... (not bladed) Ping make some nice forgiving clubs...

Best advice I can give you is go and see a Professional at a golf club. Michael Henning's team at Mid Sussex are very good.

The worst thing you could do is see a professional salesman in a discount store.

I will second Brighton Boy,

Second hand is the way forward. As said before most pro shops take trade in so shift them on quite cheaply.

Irons, you want a good make if you can, but not top end (tour) standard, as they usually are designed for golfers with fast swing speed and accurate ball striking. A mid range set of cavity backs (taylormade / calloway / Cleveland), but take the pros advice. Don't be tempted by top of the range, like mizuno etc as they will not help you.

Get a set with growing room. Also as they won't be fitted (i.e. club lenght, lie, shaft etc), expect to replace them in a year or so (unless you get lucky!)
