Expensive GOLF Clubs vs cheap box set clubs

Do you really need to spend thousands on expensive golf clubs... we put our Mid Handicap Golf Tester to work with the intentions of finding out what is better, saving money on cheap golf clubs or spending all your cash on brand new golf clubs and expensive golf balls. Yes this test also includes golf balls, do you need to buy Pro v1 golf balls when your equipment isn't expensive? or does the golf ball make more a difference? we find out all the answers here!

In future it would be interesting to just change one variable, so in this case, use different clubs, but the same type of ball. The way you've done it we aren't sure if it's the clubs, the balls, or a bit of both that are making the difference. Great video though!!

[RG-jasep]

eBay Pete really is swinging and playing well. His golf game has definitely improved, well done Pete!

[Tonychestnutz]

As an Amateur the ball is very much the most important part of your equipment, last time I bought the Kirkland balls from Costco they worked out at a bit more than a £1 per ball, unbeatable value in my New Year to all the Golf Mates & stay safe

[incognito]

Being a pauper I use very cheap clubs ...I've often wondered how much further I could hook and slice the ball out of bounds with decent clubs!!!!

I myself only started playing golf this time last year, and bought the V300 set from sports direct. Irons work amazingly for me, and as a student, the price couldn’t be better. I also enjoy using the hybrid, and have bought another, lower loft Slazenger Hybrid since, all working amazingly

[TW]

Those slazenger v300 irons are actually pretty decent, nice profile and almost no offset

[jonathaneddy]

Many thanks for the great video.The course record at Whitsand Bay Golf Club in Cornwall is 62, posted by Max Faulkener in 1947.You can just imagine the quality of the clubs & balls back then.

It amazes me the cast of characters you pulled together for your show over the years. It says a lot that you are able to surround yourself with so many strong personalities. Happy New Year - and looking forward to more Golf Mates in 2022!

[barneyd]

Yep - the V100 balls are horrendous. Actually, up until about 6 months ago (when Slazenger changed them) the V300s were really good value and way softer and nicer to play with, particularly if you are a learner and lose a lot of balls!

[bradleyrounds]

Always enjoy Pete's equipment reviews. Speaks to most of us here in golfmates land.

[jimgavin]

I believe you play with 1. What you can afford. 2. What your ability allows. Golf is an extremely expensive sport if you want it to be, or equally inexpensive. Ability will make a difference, however, I couldn’t justify paying 1000’s for clubs (I play off 11) when I think money better spent on lessons. The test showed there wasn’t much between the clubs, as Pete said, the shots were down to him, not the equipment.
I see players with expensive clubs and not a clue what to do with them. What is it they say? All the gear and no idea.
I play with Ping g400 irons, and at £500 I still had to think about it.
Give me a set of clubs and some balls and I’m happy.

[robertadams]

Really like this-- getting back to your roots Liam. When you started this channel 4 years ago you did this sort of thing a lot; its what got me hooked on GolfMates. Cheers from Texas

[gordongidney]

Many thanks Pete, it is great to see a genuine ‘proper’ golfer we can relate to rather than the big banging pros that we cannot aspire to be.

[keiko]

Love Pete’s golf swing . None of this straight lead arm nonsense, well done

[barracatcher]

Still using my titleist 710 AP2 irons 5-pw. KBS C-taper lite 110 stiff. 2’ up.
21 degree titleist 909 hybrid. Voodoo stiff.
Epic flash sub zero driver. Diamana whiteboard 70g s x5ct
Epic flash 3+ wood. Project x 7B3 6.5 tip stiff.
Epic flash sub zero 5 wood. Project x 8A4 7.0 tip x-stiff.
Callaway jaws wedges 52/56/60. Dynamic gold wedge flex
Mizuno Mcraft ll putter 33’ and a Scotty Cameron Newport 1.5 as backup.
Vice Pro or Snell MTB black are my balls of choice.
Good to see Pete striking the ball well. Great vid guys.

[scottydog]

I have Wilson D200 irons but i have uniflex shafts. Callaway Razr Driver and 3 wood.

[MARTINDOWDS]

The M2 seems to be the Driver that holds its money well, many think its the best driver by Taylor Made.
iStill have my Bridgestone super whooper driver and Nike forged blade irons, 20+ years old and never felt better using anything made since them. distance and accuracy, they still out perform newer clubs.
Ebay is striking the ball well at the moment so perfect time for this test.
i truely think a player needs to get to a certain level before clubs start making adifference to their game. the best times i had was between 14 and 9 on my handicap. anything since( play off 8) is all a bit to serious to get my handicap even lower. takes a little fun away i find.

[ianredford]

Great video but I agree with Lee M in the comments below about using the same golf ball for a proper comparison of the clubs. Keep up the great work.

[alanhendry]

Ģreat video, interesting how yourself and Pete thought the Slazenger irons play alright but the Driver not so well.
