I am thinking about buying a set of component clubs. I have advanced past the current clubs I have now and dont want to drop the money right now for some callaways. Which company produces the best quality component clubs??

it's really not a matter of which one is the best( that's a matter of one's opinion), it's which one you like the best, and the best way to find out is to try them out.

sorry, mis read your post. i agree with Glfrjack, look into some used sets first.

Not to steer you away from component clubs and local clubbuilders, but have you thought about looking for a good used set?

Do NOT get used clubs.

You need to find heads...shafts...grips...made for your swing.

Theres some GREAT companies out there and clubfitters who can custom make a set to work with your swing...not the other way around.

Let me know if you need more help.

I agree with Indacup.

A clubmaker will measure everything and custom fit a set to your game. You can even get a style that's similar to whatever you like in the big name clubs. Golfsmith & Golfworks both have heads that resemble (not copy) the major brand names.

All that can be done using used clubheads as well... just another option out there for him to consider.

component heads usually cost less than used heads and instead of wasting the time of buying used clubs, and spending moremoney on new shaft, grip, extensions, whatever, you can get that all done by a custom club builder for a great price. A lot of members dont know about components and have the idea that they are copies, but they aren't, and now adays, aren't a lot of oems component compaines offering differnt shafts? Go component, see a custom club builder and get a club fit to your game, not someone elses.

krirish: Since you mentioned that you'd like to get Callaway irons if not for the price, may I suggest you check out www.csggolf.com. Check out the Leyland LX2 irons if you like the X-16's by Callaway. They also have some models that compare with the X-18's and the Fusions. I have a set of LX2 irons I built 3 years ago, and they play about the same as some X-16's I tried out. Ball flight is long, straight, and high. Very forgiving clubs, and the only negative about the irons, and this is a matter of skill level, is that they are so foregiving that it's hard to work the ball left or right, it only wants to go straight. If working the ball isn't one of your needs or wants. then I'd highly recommend you go with the LX2 heads. If you compare them side by side with the X-16's, you will have a hard time telling them apart, and the price is unbeatable. I liked my set so much, I built a second set for my wife, and I wouldn't have done that if I didn't believe they were good quality components. Check them out and I think you will agree.

One other recommendation is the SV-3034 from Sun Valley Golf. It's an iron that resembles the Callaway Big Bertha and is made of 304 stainless which is fairly soft. I've hit a set of these and am planning on building a set soon.
