I build a perfect set of clubs for a HIGH HANDICAP golfer! 

This set would be good for Rick Shiels.

I love the set you built. Struggling a bit at golf and now i have a good idea of what the best clubs to get are. Love your videos and tips.

Great video, love everything you put out. Newer golfer here and pieced together from fair used clubs, mostly they are over 10 years old. Handicap about 25 and play 1 to 2 times a month. Looking to get better and this set looks like something that would help me get there. Starting lessons and plan on a fitting down the road when I feel a tad more consistent.

I just played some of the worst golf of my life yesterday, but fortunately it was a scramble. This set would have made my life a lot easier, or at least less miserable I think. I would love to get some lessons while using a set like this and grow with it. Given I've only been playing about a 1.5 years, I think this would be a great asset to my future golf experience. All the best, Peter. I sincerely wish nothing but success and happiness for you in your future golfing and personal endeavors.

Thank you Pete, so much info to chew on! Love that you selected a bag full of forgiveness!!

Love the look of this set. Been working on my golf this year, finally broke to 100 duck, and going to use the winter work on my game to play even better next year! Would love this set to do that

Lets make a less expensive option. Wedge- Kirkland wedges 52-56-60 $159 Balls- Kirkland 24 pack $25 Putter-Kirkland $150 Irons- Takomo 101’s $459 Hybrid- PXG 0211 $174 Fairway wood- PXG 0211 $174 Driver- PXG 0211 $190 These would cost half of what was shown on here and perform better for a high handicapped golfer.

As a beginner I am thankful for the experience you share; yes, I am looking for a set of clubs, and yes, currently I use hand-me-downs, remnants of the lost and found in the club and a new Srixon Driver ( just had to tread myself a bit :-) ) . But using your advice I get an idea of what to look out for!

Love all of your videos! Keep up the good job and continue bringing smiles to our faces

Thanks for sharing the thought process. My son-in-law is new to the game and I'm sharing this content with him. Good stuff, as always.

Thanks Pete! This will help me get some friends into golf that don't play much, but need their own sets of clubs

I think your content is actually useful and good to watch. Thank you Pete

Enjoyable video. Thank you for helping us folks that don’t play so often but came back to the game when Covid hit. Demeanor is nice to watch

i got the driver and irons you picked this summer...happy with both. im around a 19 and have had the same clubs for about 15 years, but hadnt played golf in the last 5 years until i picked it up again this summer. good video 👍

As a "senior" just setting out on my golfing journey, I found this a really interesting subject and will be taking into consideration the points made when selecting which clubs I need to put into my bag - I'm currently using second-hand clubs which I know I need to replace. Thanks.

I’ve been playing regularly for the last 2 and a half years and my handicap has come down from 19 to 8.2! I only take a half set out over winter and it works great. But I have adopted, what I call, the “Peter finch” swing to my iron play! You always look smooth and in control and that has helped my swing thought and overall game no end! Cheers mate and looking forward to Jacob kicking your ar…….looking forward to the match! 🫣🤙🏻

Great suggestion for a well curated half-set (including hybrids) for a beginner, and designed to promote easy walking ... the minimalist set approach fosters more creative golf shots when you don't have exact full-swing yardage, and less "analysis paralysis".

Sim2 max hybrid is my favourite club in the bag at the minute! So confidence inspiring

Cheers Pete, thats a huge help. Appreciate the vids, keep them rolling boys!

I have a mizuno driver and love the adjustability and it goes along way. Taylor made m2 three wood, titilist hybrid and this is my baby. 4-pw in the 922 forged. 50 and 55 degree in t22 wedges and these are the best things I have ever brought. Sm6 60 and a 2016 scotty Newport. Combine this with a Bridgestone xs and I’m really loving my golf atm

Another great video to help the average golfer out 👌, im trying to play at least twice a week so would love an upgrade in my kit 😁 love all your tips and tricks Pete awesome 👍

Never thought I’d pick up golf, but while I have been out of the country I have been playing on a Foresight Sim and I’m hooked!

Nice selection of clubs pete. I've been playing for about 18 years. I've managed to build up my bag over the past few years. Currently using cobra fly-z driver, titleist 913 3 wood, titleist 816 hybrid, ping g25 irons 4-sw, callaway 60° wedge and taylormade daddy long legs putter. It's a mix of brands but seems to work for me

Thanks for the content. I love watching set builds like this.

Peter finch definitely gives great explanations as well as great advice. I'd love a new set of forgiving clubs like this to improve my golf.

Hi I love the idea of building a bag a clubs for high handicapper, and taking their needs into account. I'm not sure about only playing with every other iron and price of the gear . Have enjoyed your channel for sometime now , thanks

I am new to golf, 1 year under my belt. I simply never thought to take half my irons out of the bag and get a hybrid. I hate my 4i 5i! I need to replace them!! Simplicity! Thank you!

I made my bag up from 20+ year old Ping Zing's my brother left behind. Added a used Ping G-410 driver and a new Bombtech 5-wood. I'm convinced it's time for a NEW set of Ping G-425's. Thanks for confirming the right pick!

Hey Pete, always love your videos. As a golfer for 10+ years, whenever I speak to friends and try to convince them into golf, they look at the price range and cannot comprehend spending 700-1000 for a set of clubs. Would he great if you (maybe in collaboration with golfbidder) would put together a series for golf set for 100,200,300 etc. Thanks for your content!

In dire need of a new set of clubs. Been looking around and this video is so so helpful. I currently have a Taylornade R9 driver (stiff), titleist 909 wood, Cobra s2 irons, a 69 degree wedge and odyssey #1 putter… all rather old clubs. Cheers mate for the great videos and tips!

really like that you put alternatives in the video at different price points. Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest, but that doesn't mean you cant find good clubs to use out on the course!

Hi Peter, I have recently gotten back into golf after a 23 year break mostly after watching your videos and Rick's, but my issue was living in Poland as I didn't think there were any courses to play at until I started to look and then I was shocked. I think you really should have a look at the courses here in Poland as some of them are amazing like the 'First Warsaw Golf', 'Krakow valley golf country club' and 'Sobienie Royal Golf & Country Club Sobienie-Jeziory', which are amazing courses. Poland, golf, there's a new thought. 😁😆

Finally! I great list - thank you! Really enjoying the cent! I’ve only recently started playing - still hitting 110-120s but been looking to buy my own having used a mates starter set that’s been put through the paces already Will need to start saving my pennies but good to be going out with mates who’ve been playing for years! Not after the most expensive but just clubs which are nice and forgiving!

Nice video. Always nice to see a full setup for a newer golfer like myself

I've been playing since mid June, I bought my clubs and bag second hand, I get out about once a week and down to the range the same. Love playing the game, got my handicap to 29. Clubs used. Taylormade m3 driver Callaway x2 hot 3 wood Taylormade aeroburner 5 Wood 4-lw Adams idea a70s irons Callaway jaws gap wedge Odyssey white ice putter. Currently saving for a new set of irons, not sure which ones yet. Been an avid follower since I took the game up, great videos, tips, trips and laughs. Keep up the good work.

I’ve never been able to use a hybrid but ended up getting fit for the stealth when wanting a driving iron and never looked back it’s super forgiving and so long! Great video also

I like the idea of limiting the number of irons like that. The new/casual golfer probably needs to prioritize clean/consistent contact over "to-the-yard" club selection, and even as they improve, knowing how to make an 8 iron go 150 as well as 120 is a very valuable skill.

I wish i saw this video before I bought my clubs! but now i have an idea what clubs to use now! thank you for the tips! and keep up with the videos!

I'm playing for 8 years now but only on public courses since i dont have a official handicap... Due to social anxiety, taking lessons with a group of ppl i dont know is a big step i havn't been able to take. But that doesn't take away my love for the game and i play as much as time/work/family allows me ;) Mostly my set still contains the clubs i started out with 8 years ago (a 10 piece Spalding starter set i picked up for 280 euro's) Due to not having a big budget i buy a club or 2 a year to upgrade my set. After getting 4 clubs to get to 14 in total and getting a new putter and 3 wood, the starter set wedges and irons are next to be replaced in the next few years. Looking foreward to the video of you playing against Jacob with hickory clubs... thats gonna be fun to watch! :D

Excellent choices. I have the Vokey SM9's as well (60°, 54°, 50°). TM Spider X putter, TM Stealth gamer, Takomo 101 irons, G425 max 3w and 7w.

You put together my dream beginner set. I tested the Callaway max rogue driver and LOVED it, I just couldn't justify the price. I ended up buying a used older model rogue from 2018. Send them to me I promise to used them and keep them clean. LOL Cheers!

Been using the Sunday Golf Loma for 2 years now and loving it

A really fun video Peter... I'm 62 now and have just returned to golf after an 18-year hiatus! I was once a 6 handicap (in the old USGA handicapping system) but now struggle greatly with my old Titleist DCI 962's (with stiff shafts), stiff shafted Callaway Big Bertha Warbird 3 and 5 woods and (old!) stiff, steel-shafted Cobra King Cobra 9˚ driver! I think the stiff shafts are too hard for me now. I've recently hit with a borrowed set regular flex, graphite shafted irons and hybrids really well. I'm also trying to find my old swing and morph it into a new swing since I've lost a lot of swing speed. It'll come back with due diligence. I can't believe I stopped playing in the first place since I've rediscovered how much I love golf! I love the videos you, Fryer, Carter and Shiels make too. Lately, I've enjoyed your instructional/playing videos most though...

Have had Taylormade for years, RAC’s in my early days (forgiving) and moving onto P790’s as I’ve progressed. M1, 3 & 5 wood with TM mill-G wedges

Love the videos as a new player they are invaluable so much information that I wouldn’t have come across otherwise

Great video and so much honest and very well explained why you chose them . Superb honest advice 👌 👏

I love that u did this. Too many channels just show new after new after new. Which ultimately means$$$$. I can tell u that I’ve only bought one club new ever. That being my putter. Speedzone cobra driver used. M2 3 wood used. GAPR 2 iron used Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons used ( all still in wrappers but the 7). Used wedges Taylormade 50 & 60 Callaway 56. Odyssey mallet putter. Free golf balls! Walk the dogs in the winter and pick up balls

Great set. I agree the wedges are a definite place to not skimp on. You use them so often. I've been golfing more now that my daughter is old enough to really enjoy playing golf with me, fun to teach her a game she can play forever.

LOL 😂 so proud of myself. Started golf more than a year ago...after using 30 years old used clubs decided to invest last winter using Black Friday deals and now playing with: -Inesis 500 3 hybrid (no driver yet as this flies straightish to 200 and gives me confidence) -jpx919 hot metal (leaving 5 iron at home) 500€ on black friday -Cleveland rtx 56 only -an old ping pal2 refurbished by me kept it from the old set and love it -playing Titleist tour soft as I bought 3 boxes a few months ago So proud of myself Pete as you mentioned almost everything except the wedge and the putter :) 7 clubs and walk around easily playing around 100 but working on my game hard. Btw thanks 🙏🙏🙏 for the swingquest channel. Helps a lot!

I’ve been playing golf for about 18 months now and looking to invest in these sort of clubs shortly. Thanks Pete

Interesting choices. I'm currently rebuilding my bag but doing it on smaller budget so this set would be perfect.

Love the idea of playing with a half set, 7, 8 or 9 clubs total. Makes the game more interesting, have to think about shots even more than usual, and highlights course management since you have to plan every shot. Great video and club choices.

Great content Pete. Totally agree on the half set. I alternate between even and odd clubs during late afternoon practice rounds and never seem to have an issue with club selection.

Hi, Pete from the USA! I’m a 15 handicap, senior(76year old) playing three to four times a week. My bag is a Sun Mountain. Clubs are Callaway Mavrik Max Driver, 5 wood,4,5,6 hybrids. 7-AW and a set 52&56 Cleveland Zip Core wedges. Putter is Taylor made Spider. I also added a Callaway 7 wood.

I am rocking the Kirkland putter, wedges, and callaway edge set from Costco, taylormade Rbz white head driver, wood, and hybrid. I’m a stage where I strike the ball somewhat decent , currently a 18 handicap. I started golf in 2021. I think for next year I’ll be coming back to this video so see what clubs I should buy!

Great video Peter, I think we would all benefit from having this set. Being able to manufacture some shots with limited clubs. Would love to have this set!

I 100% agreed with the driver you chose, as a 18-20 handicapper I've recently upgraded my driver from an old taylormade R5 to the callaway Max LS, super forgiving out of the toe and heel. I didn't plenty of research into what would potentially suit my game (natural fade/slicer) and will also be adaptable for the next 10 years as I hopefully improve. I then went and did a driver fitting to see what they recommended and made sure I had the correct shaft my my swing. Next on the list is my woods and then either irons or wedges.

Perfect video for me as a high handicapper! Just as I was looking for some new clubs😁

I'm a high handicap golfer. Been playing forever, but never really got serious about the game until the past year. I carry a bag that would be at home in an antique shop, but absolutely love just about every club in it. Ping G2 Black Dot irons and wedges, Ram Zebra putter, and original Tight Lies fairway woods. The one concession to the 21st century is a brand new Ping G425 Max driver, to replace my original Big Bertha. With regular league play and lots of range time, my game has improved significantly, and my impression is that it will be a very long time before these clubs hold me back. Total spend (irons/wedges are good used) is well under $1000. Favorite ball, at the moment, is the Supersoft. Rick's testing hasn't shown me any reason to spend twice as much for the Chromesoft or Pro V1.

Hi Pete, I’ve been golfing since I was 16, I’m now 65. Jeeze, you don’t half loose a ton of distance as you get older. Anyways, I’m rocking Taylormade P770 irons, 6-gw, fitted with UST recoil regular graphite shafts. My specialist wedges are SM9’s 56+62 degree, also UST graphite.My woods are all PXG Gen4. Driver, 5+7 Woods, and a 5 hybrid. My putter is a Scotty Cameron Phantom X8. Absolutely love my set up.

Interesting to see what setup you'd advise. Also looking forward to see it in action on the course in the next video. Great content!

I have only been playing for about 6 month and don't have a lot of knowledge about clubs so love love these videos. I currently am playing a hand me down set of 35 - 40 year old Wilson irons and no hybrids or woods and a 15 - 20 year old Jack Nicklaus q-4 driver and a no name putter. Not sure if new clubs would help my average score of 105 - 110 but I'm sure they couldn't hurt so thanks for the club selections.

Lefty beginner here, bought a Strata set to get me started instantly found out the driver and a 108mph swing don't mesh. Have changed it for a Mizuno st200(used) love it. Added Callaway x2 2h and 3h (both used) cut down 1in each. Absolutely love the strata irons to me they feel and hit just how I want them. And for wedges used Callaway jaws in 60 and 54 and strata pw. Really enjoying the game I spent my whole life wondering why people play lol.

Great video content. Totally agree on the club set up for a beginner. Would look great in my bag !!!

I have the stealth hybrid, only took me 4 years to realize I needed one. Absolutely hated it from the start. It is now my favorite club in the bag and has made me look very good on several par 5’s!

I definitely appreciate this as I’m trying to get back into the game. My biggest miss in the back is a club to gap the 4i and 3w or for when I get a bit uncomfortable with hitting the wood so I might keep my eyes open for a hybrid

Awesome video Pete…There’s a lot for people to unpack in this one! I started solely playing hickories two years ago; however, when competing in teams events or member-guests I’ll play a half set. Golf is hard…make 7 less decisions 😂

Have been building the bag from day one (7 years ago) have a mixer of new and second hand. Gone from 36+ to a consistent 15 handicap. Bag consists of: Taylor made M2 Driver Cobra king f9 5w Nike vapour 3h G410 4h Ping G25 irons 5-pw Kirkland wedges 52, 56 and 60 Cleveland Huntingdon beach putter Could definitely do with an upgrade to keep the momentum going as looking to start entering comps. Keep up the quality work Pete and team

Nice club set! Never had a set of my own and always rented clubs. Big fan of the channel and would love to own that set!

Great set for a regular golfer, hey, I'm a regular golfer!! Love your video's, always highly informational and entertaining!!

Just want to say I love your videos. I am just now getting into golf. I have found that it helps me with my ptsd. I haven’t gotten a set of clubs yet of my own but your videos gives me a lot of insight of clubs I should get. Thanks for the videos!

I agree about the half set concept. I travelled in Outback Oz this year and did not want to take my good clubs, in case they were damaged. I took a Cleveland Hibore Driver, a Wilson Fywood 19 hybrid, a Cobra F7 22-25 degree Hybrid, a six iron ( Milford Golf SL-7), a Tour Edge PW and a Tour Edge 56 ( both hybrid-iron design) and an WIlson arm lock putter. I tried to make a set with around 5-10 degree loft gaps ( 10, 19, 25, 29, 45 56) All purchased second hand from Facebook marketplace.

Looks like a great set of clubs. My concern as a high handicap golfer is knowing what clubs to leave out of my bag, I tend to put in as many clubs into the bag as I can fit. As for golf balls, I have never really found one that I consistently happy with. Please keep the videos coming!

You gotta love this guy. He never talks AT you. Always, TO you.

Loved this video, I’ve only just taken up the sport so clearly hesitating in big purchases until skills are better, I currently run a second hand set (Hippo hybrid) including hybrid 3 and 4 also added a second hand cobra driver which has seen improvements over the original set.

I love the concept of minimal bag minimal clubs because it give you more options to shape and control the ball!

Nice vid Pete, looking forward to what Jacob can do with the set ! As for myself, I currently have the following in the bag : DR - Titleist TS3 / 3W - Mizuno ST180 / 4H - Titleist 818H1 / 4I - Mizuno MP-20 HMB / 5-PW - Mizuno MP-20 MB / WG - 50F-54S-60M Titleist SM6 / PT - Scotty Cameron Newport 2 I'm a lefty, so that's why the irons split at the 4/5 irons, this is the SEL set, and the only MP-20s us lefties can get !

Cracking little video - and I agree with many of the comments here too. As a former high handicapper, there are lots of "little" things that I wish I knew, the main one being 'don't buy new'. so while I think these choices of club are really useful, I wouldn't recommend a HH buy new, instead look at similar clubs from 3/4 years ago (much like your Golfbidder videos). That said, as the perfect set for a HH - you can't go far wrong with those Pete! FWIW (11.5 Dr, 16.5 3W, 19h, 22h, 26h, 6/7/8/9/P, 50/56/60 | 19h>P are GI)

Just got back into golf this year after about a 10 year absence.. absolutely fell in love with the game again

I’ve been playing for about 12 months and am loving it. My son suggested I take it up and it’s been great having that fr/son time with him on the course. My bag: Driver - Taylormade Sim 2 Max Fairway & hybrid - Cobra LTDx Irons - Callaway Rogue ST Max Wedges - Cleveland RTX Zipcore Putter - Odyssey Double-wide Triple Track Balls - anything cheap but decent 😅

New golfer here- love your vids mate. You inspire me to get out there and get better. Cheers from Pakistan.

I’ve recently started playing with my halfset. Playing Odyssey Strokelab DW, Vokey SM8 54*, Mizuno JPX921 Forged PW, 8 and 6. Cobra Speedzone 21* hybrid and Driver. Actually improved my score with it. Didn’t really understand why but Matt Fryer put his finger on it in his last video. You start to think a lot more about what shot to try to manufacture so the usual swingthoughts go out the window without even thinking about it:) gonna keep the halfset until that become a routine, then maybe reintroduce more clubs one by one:)

I got a wilson SGI starter set, 6-SW. Swapped the irons after 6 months for some used Nike vapor fly pro. Got the taylormade spider putter. A titleist 60 degree Ping utility iron Ping G425 driver Cobra 3,5 woods Im currently at 20,3 hcp after 6 months of golfing. Cant wait for next season.

Brilliant... Looking forward to the match!

Nice picks, I recently did a half set challenge round my local for 9 holes. It was great fun and actually played some really good golf. In the bag was a Putter, Driver, 4 hybrid, 8 iron and LW. Best shot was a 120ish yard half back and through pitch with the 8 iron to 3 feet. It pitched just short and trickled up.

Love the Ping irons, not had the chance to play with a set yet, but they look great. I don't carry/use a driver due to my inconsistent swing with it, so I use a 3 wood or 5 wood off the tee on long holes, and a 3 iron on shorter par 4s.

I've gone Wilson D9 irons and just did a fitting where the new TSR2 worked best for me, so that's been pre-ordered. Still in the market for a new putter so appreciate this video, will check out the Odyssey

Hi Pete. I’m a 23 handicapper and play maybe once a month. Would love to play more but life as always gets in the way. I’ve built my bag from scratch in the mindset that I won’t need to upgrade again. Just need practice/lessons to improve. Driver - sim2 max 2 iron - Taylormade UDI Irons - cobra Radspeed Putter - titleist squareback 2 Wedges - Kirkland Signature

Sick video, definitley taking notes as a begginer. Keep up the great content🙌

This year I added the callaway st max and the stealth 19 degree. Last year I added the ping g425 irons. This video could not be more spot on

I use a full set of trident golf clubs I've had for about 15 years. Was never fitted. Am now 36 and looking to probably get my first full fitted set. Also taking a few lessons looking at my scores I'm probably about an 18 handicap. Great video some good points to take into consideration with a new set as currently I have irons up to 4, hybrid, 5w, 3w, and driver.

Great video, love watching content aimed at the high handicapper. Another similar video looking at the 2nd hand market would be good

Best suggestion is a half set of irons , I agree fully . Although I would not start with a four but 5 7 9 gw

Thank you for another good video :-) We are so many with high handicap and we need the help you are giving ;-) The jungle of clubs out there can be hard to sort out.

Very much agree on not needing a full set of irons. 4/6/8/W is just fine. Great video.

The ball point is a great one. I can assure that a pro v1 does indeed clatter off a tree just as well and a Srixon Ad333

I’m a very high handicapper. I carry a cobra draw driver, Cleveland Launcher irons, Vockey wedges and a Callaway Fusion 5 wood. Taylor Made Truss putter. This set up has helped my game but I still struggle. I wish I had the time and money for 20 or so lessons and time to practice. Guy Canada 🇨🇦

I haven’t added much to my bag in a long time. Finally called it quits on the big Bertha last year and upgraded to a Ping G425 but everything else is still 10-15 years old. Really would like a little more forgiveness In the bag as I don’t play much anymore due to life. Hoping to upgrade a little bit each year and see where it takes me! Like this idea, sheds some light on some options out there for sure, especially in the second hand market.

Love the vids Pete !! Clubs would be unreal and reckon they’d definitely improve my game and confidence 👍🏼

Hey Pete great video! I’m a new golfer without an official handicap but it would be in the 30s. My bag is an interesting one, as all of my clubs were bought second hand. Driver: Cobra F9 Fairway: Titleist 915F 3 wood Hybrid: Titleist 913H 5 hybrid Irons: 4-PW Nike VR Split Cavity Forged (definitely what I need to swap soonest, designed for a lower handicapper) Wedges: 52* Vokey Oil Can, 56&60* Taylormade R Series Tour Grind EF Spin Putter: TaylorMade Spyder Arc Bag: WinCraft Bucket III Ball: Vice Drive (or whatever I find looking for my tee shot)
