I wondered how much more technology and benefit is there from the high end clubs than other cheaper sets like Lazarus. My current set of irons are some knock off brand and have served me well. Curious if there is that much difference in performance between something like Callaway's to those, especially for a "non professional" golfer.
I went with all hybrids this past winter and have not regretted it. My set (3-9 plus pitching wedge) are "Majek" Senior Men's Clubs, $329 (Amazon) for the set. At that price undoubtedly not marketed to the ultra-serious golfer but with my age and level of play I doubt my game would improve if I had spent more. I like them. It does take awhile to get used to swinging them (you will get worse before you get better). But as I've gotten acclimated to them my accuracy has improved (modestly) and distance pretty significantly.
