Play to confidence. Use clubs that give you confidence when looking down on them no matter what people say. I'm using old dci oversize black triangle from 25 years ago because I feel like I can hit them and that feeling is worth more than anything

All my clubs are second hand, with the exception of my wedges (Kirkland Signature, which I love).

Actually, I do have one other bought new. I picked up a Wilson D5 fairway wood as an end-of-stock special with a view to giving it to my son. Then I hit it, and thought "nope, he's not having it, it's mine!" 😏⛳

I love this video so much. I was a brand new golfer a little over a year ago and where I got it right was I bought an inexpensive set of blades that were beyond my skill level. I don’t have a distance ego so any driver pretty much suited me and my wedge and putting game have always been mysteriously strong. Now that I have practiced a ton, hitting something on the newer side seems a breeze and I’m really enjoying my time on the golf course. First round I shot was 132 and now shooting high 80s. I plan to keep at it and get that down while really having a lot of fun :)

Thanks Simon, was tempted by the pxg £205 driver but nothing wrong with my BenRoss tbh. Will definitely hold back

[philipsawyers]

Bloody good points. Lessons and techniques will bet new clubs all day long. Imagine how many lessons u get for £400

[jasonsteuer]

Wow very truthful and honest !!!! one point is yes learn the basics of how you manage your game first then worry about club adjustments !!! Newly subscribed wish I found you 20 years ago lol

been playing golf for little over 2months now and ur videos are a great help man

My first clubs were from Sports Direct at £60 for a full set. As soon as I got serious I was told I needed a 1/2 inch extra shaft length. I bought a set of Taylormade TP Muscle Cavity irons. Learned to hit those but they were hard so bought a set of second hand Mizuno 919 hot metal pros in the same specs off ebay and completely changed my game. Still got a hand-me-down ping G25, set of second hand Vokey wedges off eBay and a white hot Rossie from eBay I bought when I was drunk. Entire bag is £600 and each club is better than I can become.

Following step 5 is hard as a lefty, but great advice all around!

Ive just brought a package set from decathlon but with graphite shafts as its been months and the steel shaft version is still out of stock and i just wana start my golf journey.

On the shaft topic, I hit my bladed 7 iron 165 and still use a regular shaft, I prefer that softer feel when I swing with my irons personally

[wesleyfontaine]

Wanted to upgrade my sons irons from cleveland cg4 tour irons to cobra forged tec irons ..He stopped me said it would ruin his progress...was dumbstruck because I think I wanted soemthing new and shiny for me more than him...I think he was right...thanks Simon

[matrixdprinting]

I just purchased 3 Callaway big Bertha With ladies graphite shafts.... Lets just say. There beasts smaller shaft on the lower lofted clubs seems to work for me

[thegolfgiveaway]

Good advice as always Simon👍. As a new golfer I bought a cheap package set and the desire to buy “better” to fix my problems is strong…but then I realize after hitting a good shot 1/5 that the equipment is better than I am lol

[richardscott]

Great advice Simon I only buy pre-owned clubs. I bought a mixed set of Cobra irons F9 forged TEC an muscle backs for 300 U.S and I love them. That way when I sell them I'll make some money on the deal.

A good rule of thumb is to play the lightest, most flexible shaft that creates your desired ball flight. Park your ego, just because Scottie Scheffler can swing hard enough to flex a Ventus Black X-stiff shaft, doesn't mean you can. I played a pickup round at a local club. One of the guys the starter grouped with me was 55 and had been talked into buying some titanium shafts in his woods. I watched him hit low, weak pushes off the tee all day. I was late 20s and tried smoked his 3 wood 75 yards past him. He was not exactly pleased when I told him what the problem was.

[Mickkazzie]

Agreed! I will never change my box set putter. I feel so comfy and confident with it!

Love your videos mate. I just bought a PXG 0211 driver based on your video you posted recently. I haven't hit it before buying 🙃 Wish I had watched this video first 😅
