Hi i am returnbing ti playing golf againa and need some clubs. i am not a beginner (though not played for 5 years)and want some clubs that will grow with me to improve with the more i play - an improver if you will! Now i have no clubs anymore, and am unsure of what to get - i like the look of RAM Concept X & Wilson X31 packages, but am unsure if they are gonna last long enough for me to 'grow'. I also seen the RAM FX4 & Wizard II along with Wilson Deep Red II Distance Irons around £200. Whats the best way forward and do you have any recommendations. I have a Wilson thing as i play Wilson Tennis Racquests and had some Sam Sneads as a kid. In short i'm after an improver package that will last and am unsure whether to get a set or irons then add to it to end up with a good set along the road. i am looking at £200 initially at least.

Just to say, i am open to non Wilson/RAM advice - i dont know much about brands about at the minute!! Thanks and sorry for the spelling mistakes!!
Ps the X31 set is the 2005 (blue) set.

oh and i am simon stallard - i changed my name to show my nickname! Also the clubs will probably need to be as forgiving as they can be ! Thanks.

Simon, if you want improver irons how about the Mizuno MX17. they are easy to hit, very forgiving and going for £247 new at the moment.

ok i will search them out, thanks.they maybe a tad much though as i'll need bag & putter.
Any other suggestions anyone?!

The Wilson Fatshafts can be had very cheap - seen them for £100ish new on ebay. The steel shafts can be a bit on the heavy side, so maybe go for graphite?
Otherwise the Deep Red II's are a good choice

andrew thanks. the one thing i dont want to do is nuy a set that i will grow out of in 6 months - a year. Something that will last a bit (lot?) longer! anyone got any comments on the Wilson/RAM packages?

I've got some macgregor M455's. These are very forgiving and i swear by them.

I picked up a set for £250 a year ago but i dont know what youll pay now.

tiger beat me to it i have had macgregor m455's for about 6 mths they are so easy to use and very forgiving i dropped 6 shots of my handicap within 2 weeks of buying them and i beleive there are some good deals on them at the moment.

If you dont mind buying second hand - you msay want to consider a set of Callaway X12s or Cleveland TA7s on EBAY. You can buy them well within budget, they will grow with your game and you should get most of your money back if/when you sell them.

Otherwise the Deep reds are pretty decent irons.

it seems everyone is saying get irons over the sets - would i be right in thinking that?!
