Golf Nut, I have been playing golf for about 14 months and am looking at golf clubs, a new set of irons in particular. I am trying to decide between a new set of Adams and a used set of Callaways. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Well, I am not a spokesperson for any particular set of irons or golf clubs for that matter. All I can tell you is what I prefer from what I know. I personally play Callaway irons. I have had their golf clubs in my bag for a number of years now. I like them and I recommend them many times to people.
The main thing that I look at in golf clubs is not so much the technology or the particular brand name. I look for how comfortable the specific clubs make me feel over the golf ball. One of the things that I liked immediately about Callaway golf clubs and still do to this do is that they are oversized enough to be forgiving, but not so big that they distract me. Some oversize golf clubs are so big, I get messed up just looking at the club head.
The Callaway clubs also really felt comfortable when I hit some golf balls with them. I swung several brands when I was looking and none felt as good as the Calllaways. In my opinion, it many times comes down to that personal preference about what makes you feel comfortable. Comfort equals good tempo equals better golf swing.
Now for any of you out there looking for or considering used Callaway clubs let me send you to a good web site. Visit the Callaway preowned site at: the-golf-nut.com/recommends/callawaypreowned They give a warrant on their used clubs and also sell some brands other than Calllaway.
Now you didn’t ask this, but I wondered if you question might also have to do with should I spend the difference on the new versus the used. Well this is a little tougher. You say that you have been playing about 14 months and are shooting in the low 90’s. For someone shooting those scores I would be comfortable saying spend the money on new golf clubs if you have the cash. If someone was still shooting above 100, I would recommend saving the money by purchasing the used clubs until your scores come down a little. Just my humble opinion on that.
Well until next time, good golfing!
