magpies Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) honma beres series, yamaha ud+2 or the new titleist type d (i think) series. Recently got the ud+2 for my friend who was a beginner. Driver go with Ping. Its hard to beat ping for forgiveness, fairway as well. The XXIO hybrids are excellent.

bluehat Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I find the Royal Collection hybrids very easy to hit Edited September 6, 2018 by bluehat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobmontana Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I have a couple of thoughts on this. 1. If the person who is wanting these sets is over 55 or 60 years old, I suggest finding some high end Honma .. perhaps even the BeZeal series. It would satisfy the forgiveness piece as well as the sense of satisfaction for owning a good expensive set of clubs where his playing buddies would talk in envy. 2. If this person is someone still pretty young and healthy, I'd say go with a middle of the ground GI set and spend thee rest of the money on lessons. I say this not because I did it that way... I actually took the wrong path in trying to do everything on my own and struggled greatly with it. Each 30 min occasional lesson I take now is worth every penny because I get analytical feedback which are useful in making adjustments in my swing. Should have done that years ago. For 2, so many options available. But for a set that could last for a long time to come, I suggest the following: Romaro Type R 2017 woods - Driver, 3W, 5W 4U Miura CB-2008 5-PW Labospec CB-247 W II 50 / 56 Odyssey 7 or Two Balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk24bk Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I fit the mold of what your mate is looking for. XXIO driver and fairways are really easy and forgiving. Hybrids are good. I would put XXIO above Ping or any other club for forgiveness. Not the longest but really easy to hit. Their shafts are like noodles so go up a flex or two Maruman Shuttle is very easy for fairways and hybrids. I have the XXiO X irons which are very good but they are very big. I have the Yamaha UD+2 irons which are very good. And I had the Titleist Type D irons which I did not like. They are oversized but I didn’t think they were easy to hit. I’m 45 with a driver swing speed of 90 and a handicap of 5. I’ve not hit the Honma irons so I can not comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted September 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Great feedback gents , taking it all in he uses ping equip now and the fwds are are way to sleek they shud not be an option for high cappers at all. The driver is ok but its got the convex fave which is horrendous for a high guy, slight misses off centre and the ball goes miles the wrong way. been suggesting xxioirons as i saw the entire range of ping irons and they do fi t the bill nicely but they just look cheap and nasty! xxio are enormous but they at least look classy. miura cb3001 are another im strongly suggesting, masive off set but a thinner base and a dent sole for really good turf interaction and limited slip off the deck. they are high on the pecking order. Faiirwoods i cant think of an easier set than the mfd prgrs they are like throwing darts. Driver im still in the dark. Ill go have good look tomorrow and check em all out. no idea at all yet.. zero . what about those fkkn horrendous pos tm things with sliding weights m1/2:3:45/6/7/8/9 28976574625274837 model on the base or the 900000000000 green callaways things , not for me but if they are ok for high cap ill go in, itll kill me to do so but if they are good then..... ???

marmaduk Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I would recommend Maruman Shuttle fairways. They are huge!....in a good way. I have found Ryoma to make a forgiving driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 prgr mfd 3 and 5 woods XXIO / ping irons , final choice driver still looking.. onoff 2009 type d is high on list, ryoma d1 10.5*, prgr egg 1. all in final selection. wedges wil be a continuation of irons to make it easier on the eye ute still looking but the fourteen ut 716 3i is firm favourite.

cuistot Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Stu, I play the PRGR 2016 Red Driver in 11.5 loft with stock SR shaft with good results. So well that I picked up the 3w and at 200yd out I am chomping to hit every time. PS..... found a stock SR Cally ERC 10.5 and everyting tiu say about it is gospel.

nobmontana Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I can attest to how well Cuistot has been hitting his drivers. Both the PRGR Red and the Cally ERC. He just walks up to the tee and just stripes it every time!! For a high capper I do think the PRGR Red is a more forgiving driver overall. Cally ERC head is smaller and deep as you well know but possibly slightly better sound and feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Easy choice. Yamaha UD+2 and PRGR Super Egg The 2 longest and most forgiving irons on the market JDM or USDM. Only consideration is it's look and size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
