I would check on ebay for some new clubs you can find some pretty good deals.As for the driver you probley could find some Titleist and Nike drivers on ebay for around two hundred dollars.Sorry i'm not sure what irons and wedges you could find for three hundred dollars.How that helps you.

There are sets out there in your price range. I have no experience with most of them but I'm not really sure what you are looking for, your skill level and such. A quick search at the Golf Warehouse turned up these Tommy Armour irons for 50% off at $200. I have an old set of Armour 845s I still occasionally pull out and they hold up well so maybe this design would be something for you. Regardless, I'd try to find some clubs at a local store to see if they fit your eye and feel or not, before buying. Good luck.

I would look at the 905R and maybe the TEE driver. I love my 905R and sold my Hibore recently after it proved to be just too much shorter than either of the two above. The 905R is a rocket launcher, the longest driver I have tried and easy to hit also. I also owned the R7425 which was a solid driver but nothing special.

You could find some nike pro combo irons for around 200 bucks. then get some solus wedges, you can prolly pick up a set of 3 for around 120. Top it off with a Sasquatch for around 200 and that floats right in to your 500 mark. all this of course provided to you by your local ebay.

Go to the nearest golf store that has many of the club models and try them all out. Write down the names of the clubs you like (Irons, woods, wedges). Do not fall for just the big names and just the latest and greatest. The previous version (and probably more) of many clubs will provide you with what you truly need.

Then, go to Ebay, Golf Club Exchange, RockBottomGolf, or 3Balls Golf (to name a few sites) and purchase your clubs. You will save lots of money.

You may want to see www.rockbottomgolf.com their price on that Hibore just dropped.

I considered getting another one but I better quit while I am ahead.

Check rockbottomgolf.com for everything. They have some great deals on some adams stuff. The macgregor m565 irons they have for 249 are great. Their forged and oversized with not a lot of offset. You could get the adams Tom Watson wedges for a great price too. I dont know about putters but I would check ebay for that.

I agree with the irons at the very least here. I would differ in that you could get a set of tom watson wedges or an older model wedge from a quality company like mizuno for cheap. I got a tzoid pro SW for 15 and its my new go to club from 100 in. For driver Id say try em all out and find what you like. Oh and putter you can get many quality putters for cheap, just try em.

I have a Cleveland Launcher 460cc with the std flex shaft. They are about $200 now. I found it to be the best of many drivers I tested. I hit it just as good as the HiBore. The pro told me that the only thing different between these 2 drivers is the hibore has a little lower center of gravity to help hit higher shots.

I'll second rockbottomgolf.com as many others have mentioned. Also check out 3balls.com - between those two sites you can find pretty much everything you need for a good price.
