Problem is I don’t know if a deal is too good to be true

Decent clubs, shite clubs, or too good to be true?

I know a few people that have bought those cheaper "sets" and the clubs seem to be cheaply made. I know one guy that broke the head off the driver the first day. Replaced it and broke it again.

You would probably be better off getting quality used gear. Get with one of your golfing buddies and line up a budget to buy everything off of a used site.

TITLEIST IRON SET

Something like this then add a bag, driver, and putter.

Try to get the ancillary stuff from one of your golfing buddies. I could donate 100 tees and 20 used golf balls from my bag and not even notice they are gone.

The Strata set isn't counterfeit lol. Most of the frauds are higher end clubs, and even then you can spot the fake if you know what to look for.

Personally I'd go through Callaway Pre-owned and buy different pieces than a box set

That's the set I have. I have zero complaints.

You're WAY too young to ask that question. LOL.

I'm a PGA Life Member with a lot of years of teaching and club fitting. If you'd like to email me I' d be happy to give you some ideas about getting some clubs that would fit you. eaglevend@gmail.com

There have been a lot of good thoughts from the other posters. The only I'd say right now is don't get one of those package sets; the shafts are cheap and the head materials are as well.
