Price range, brand, and types?
Playing at the right places is one thing. Having the right equipment is another. Is it all about pricing and the range or is it the brand? The answer is no! There are several names out there that design golf sets for beginners and it is not about the name or price but rather about the suitability for the golfer. We list out the best sets this year.
Wilson Golf Men’s Ultra Complete Package Set
The first impression when you see this golf set will most likely be its outlook. This set comes with a fairway wood, the 6 to 9 irons, a hybrid, a putter and a pitching wedge and a driver. At some point, it might not be as extensive as other sets but it has a stand bag that is self-activating with many compartments. For a beginner, teeing off is such a joy with its large spot while they have put in more sweet spots that are extra-large in the irons too. This set is perfect for beginners who are looking for something not overly expensive and is perfect if you are looking to improve your game.
Precise M3 Men’s Complete Golf Clubs
One thing for sure, this set is specially designed for the ‘taller’ golfers. If you are in that range, then this set will surely be perfect. The only flipside about this set would be the price which is slightly costlier than the other beginner sets. Having said that, it is still quite decently priced at the mid-range segment. The set comes with 9 clubs where you get the 6 to 9s, a fairway wood, putter, pitching wedge and a driver. In all fairness, this set is very well suited for beginners but would not have anything extra for the intermediate players. A good touch with this set is that they include 3 headcovers too.

The word around this set is forgiveness and that is just what you get a lot with the clubs here. There is a hybrid, pitching wedge, a putter, a 3-wood and the usual 6 to 9 irons. As mentioned, you get a lot of forgiveness and surely longer hits since they have put in a large sweet spot on the driver. The hybrid is a good addition to this set as it makes a very beginner feel at home almost immediately. The best thing about this set is the price point.
Pinemeadow PRE Men’s 16-Piece Complete Golf Set
Since they have called it a 16-piece set, this is as complete as it comes. The Pinemeadow PRE Men’s is a great set to start if you are going to take this game seriously. There is a 3-wood, a 3-hybrid, a pitching wedge, driver and a pre-mallet putter on top of the 4 to 9 irons. Highlight in this bag will surely be the hybrid which is ideal for the new golfer since you will most likely be looking to fine-tune your trajectory and swing control. The quality here is quite top-notch and is more evident for the price you are paying.
