Just started to track my handicap on golfshake to see where I am as when I was a member two years ago I only played in about 3 comps. I've shot a 79 with my dunlops and loads of 80's. Two friends of mine have bought these as cheap clubs on my recommendation and play as well now as they've ever done. Sports direct have TP12's there new ish range for about £120 all in. Doing this too early in your progression may actually be detrimental as your swing will develop with more games and lessons.ĭepends how quick you want to improve but I'd not look at these as inferior clubs. What you may want to consider (as I am now) is investing in some irons later on which are custom fitted so you know that they are made to suit your game. I personally play aswell with these as I do with any other clubs so I would state categorically that these will not be detrimental to your improvement. I currently use Dunlop MXII which are about 5 years old.
So are they really that​ bad? should i be looking to change them asap? I play once or twice a week just for fun. Will carrying on using these clubs be detrimental to my progression? I obviously would love a decent branded set and often browse golf bidder for second hand stuff but funds are tight and i'm not sure it's necessary for me to have better clubs yet? They are steel shafted and no heads have flown off yet (fingers crossed) Now i knew my clubs were never going to be anything special but i thought they would be fine while learning to play and do me for at least 12 months however reading so much negativity towards Dunlop clubs i'm not so sure now? I'm striking the ball well with them, they seem to be quite forgiving but i have no comparisons as i've never used anything else. I'm now hooked! I've taken lessons and corrected most of my swing faults (which were plentiful!) As i got the impression my money would be best spent learning to play rather than buying expensive clubs. Went with a friend to the range a few times late last year and played my first ever round in Jan. They looked in mint condition used once maybe twice max!
Found a full set of Dunlop 65's local on ebay and won them for £40. So i've just recently got into golf, I got some cheap clubs off ebay as i wasn't sure i would get into it, and because i'm not highly paid.
