    Hi Dan,
    
    I believe that besides personal preferences, most answers will  point
    you to go to a reputable golf shop that has a wide selection of clubs
    but  most  important  is  that they have knowledgeble staff to take a
    look at  your  skills,  stance,  swing  and recommend a 2-3 different
    brands and then  let you try them for you to make the choice based on
    your feel of the clubs.
    
    In the GMA if your looking  for  brand  names,  and $400 will get you
    that, I would try Wayland Pro Shop  on Rt 27.  Good prices, selection
    and staff.  Many people feel that knock-offs are better value.  There
    are some names of people who build them in this notesfile.
    
    As for name brands, if you read some of the notes  here,  you'll  see
    mentioned many brands that different players like:
    
    Ping Zings
    Cleveland VAS
    Tommy Armour 845/855 (which I have and like)
    Titleist DCI
    Callaway
    
    Hope this helps
1963.2Tour EdtionsSHRMSG::LAROCCOMARKWed Nov 30 1994 18:3511
    I agree that you ought to visit Wayland CC and get an idea from the
    pros there on your next steps. If you happen to want the Top Flight
    Tour edition clubs (which I've played with for the past 2 yrs.) contact
    Golf Day in Chelsea. They are selling new 1992/1993 models for $300 for
    a complete set of irons, 3 through the sand wedge.
    
    These irons are super!!
    
    This reply is coming late but I thought I'd send it anyway. How'd
    things work out for you?
    
1963.3Yard SalesASABET::KELLY_MMon Jan 16 1995 16:494
    I know the kind of golfer that you are, so I would recommend that you
    go to yard sales and as a last resort try hitting from the other
    side or pick up a junior set from TOYS R US

1963.4Consider MASTER GRIPNOTAPC::MILLERFri Jan 20 1995 20:5014
    
    	An value you might want to look into is the set that is offered
    	by the mail order MASTERGRIP company.  They sell a set of GRAPHITE
    	shafted (True Temper Black Gold, about 2.5 degrees torque) for
    	$199 for a 3-PW. SW is about $30 extra.  Set of three metal head
    	woods with matching shafts is $149.  UPS delivery is about $5.
    	AND, they offer a 30 day money back guarantee.  I know several
    	golfers who tried them and have loved them.  The iron heads are a
    	modified PING EYE2 copy (perimeter weighted). Unless your in a
    	hurry for something right now, you might want to wait until spring
    	when you can take advantage of the 30 day money back guarantee.
