Hey fellow golf enthusiasts, I’m new to the game and thinking about investing in Top Flite clubs as a beginner. I’ve heard mixed opinions about their performance and durability. Could anyone share their experience with Top Flite clubs for beginners? Are they forgiving enough for someone just starting out, or should I consider other brands known for easier learning curves?
Hey Mason! As a fellow golf enthusiast, I can tell you that Top Flite clubs are generally a good option for beginners due to their affordability and decent quality. They tend to be forgiving, which is great when you’re just starting out and working on your swing. However, some golfers feel that they lack the performance and durability of more premium brands. If you’re serious about improving your game, you might want to also consider brands like Callaway or Wilson, which are known for offering beginner-friendly clubs with a good balance of forgiveness and quality. Ultimately, trying out a few different sets to see what feels best for you can make a big difference.
Top Flite clubs are a popular beginner option because they’re affordable and forgiving on off-center hits (which happen a lot when you’re new). However, some recommend other beginner-friendly brands for better performance as you improve. Consider your budget and goals – Top Flite could be a good start, but explore other options online before you choose
No, it’s just one of those things where they’ve developed a really low perception within the industry that’s snowballed over time to seem worse than it actually is. They’re not great, mind you, but they’re not as terrible as all the jokes make them out to be. For beginner club sets, they’re probably on par with most other sets at their price point in terms of quality. As for balls, they are pretty cheap, but they do make a couple of decent value ones that aren’t their rock-bottom cost options.
At this point, they’re a house brand owned by Dick’s Sporting Goods, so you only see them there and at Golf Galaxy (also owned by DSG). House brands often get used for the name and intellectual property but don’t typically get a lot of money pumped into them. Wilson might be a slightly higher quality option since their parent company, Wilson/Staff, is still pretty respected in the industry. However, the difference in quality between the two is probably negligible.
Hello, Callaway Strata or Edge. I played both and would say edge ten times out of ten, but they sell out quickly at Costco.
