I've got Hippo gear - hardly pro-quality but then - neither am I!

Had them out for the first time in 2 years just recently - and I'm still crap.

Not got any pics of mine.

Got Taylor Made R7 driver 9.5 and a stiff shaft [still to much loft might look for a 7.5], Taylor Made Railor 3 Wood S300 shaft, Taylor Made Original Burner 5 wood S90 Shaft.

Ping Eye 2 Irons, 2-SW 1 inch longer than standard and stiff shafts.

Tad Moore SW and LW.

Ping Coushin 3 putter.

Ping Hoofer Bag, 2 pair water proofs, and about 4 pairs of shoes.

Had all the stuff for about 9years, Not found anything better than i have so dont bother. The only thing i change every year is the Driver as technology moves on alot with drivers. I am seriously tempted by the Mizuno MP30 irons though.

Also going to get ping to make me a Broom handle putter as i am a tall lad no one does one long enough off the shelf. Putting is my major down fall and the reason i cant get below a 9 handicap.

SPEND A LOT OF TIME CHOOSING A PUTTER!!! and good money if you have to!

It's the most important [because it'll be the most used!] club in your bag! There's no other club that by choosing wisely can SERIOUSLY take a shot off each hole if you're very comfortable with it!

Drivers for show, putting for dough

I've got an odyssey 2 ball that I still love after quite a few years! I know it's all preference though. A few guys I know use scotty camerons [they look fucking ridiculous] but the best golfer out of all of us uses a ping putter that looks like Noah may have used it on the deck of the ark it's so old But it's what works for him.

I actually said:

"if" is a small word with a big meaning.

"If" he finds a cheap/borrowed/begged/or stolen putter he likes then good for him. as I said above, the best golfer out of a load of us that play together uses the oldest putter I've seen without wood worm.

"If" he finds the only putter he feels exceptionally comfortable which is say, a Ł200 futura, then it's the only club [as a beginner] I personally think you should be spending the higher end on.

You can't take a shot off EVERY hole with an expensive driver no matter how good it makes you hit a shot.

Either way, it's all down to preference as I originally stated
