As a PGA teaching professional I recommend clubs to students all of the time. The decisions would be easy if there was one solution for everyone, but there isn't. Every golfer doesn't need clubs from the top manufacturers and I have found that the component golf companies provide a great alternative.

When suggesting golf clubs to a student I look at the needs of each individual. What is their skill level? Do they need a full set? What is their budget? Are they looking for a certain brand? In the past, the hardest golfer to suggest clubs for was the beginner, or high handicapper, that doesn't need a full set of clubs, and is on a budget. It was hard to find quality clubs that satisfy these needs. Until I found a couple of component companies that make great quality clubs at real reasonable prices. 

The company that I have used most is Hireko Golf . I find them to be the perfect solution for the beginner, high handicapper, or budget golfer. You can go online to their site, order just the clubs you wan,t and customize them to fit you. Hireko  allows you to select; brand of shaft, flex and length, brand of grip and size of grip, and the lie angle of your irons. Another company that offers the same options in Pinemeadow Golf .

Just today I gave a beginner adult clinic. I had a gentleman that didn't have clubs and asked my advise. He has special needs because he is about six foot five inches and didn't want to spend a lot of money. So I suggested clubs from Hireko . The set make up that I chose was a driver, a 4 wood, a 4 hybrid, a 6 & 8 iron, a pw and sw. The driver and 4 wood we ordered regular length, the hybrid we ordered +1/2", the irons we ordered +1/2" and 2 degrees upright, and the putter was ordered at 35.5". He is getting a set of clubs that suit his needs and when he improves we can fill in the gaps.

If you are looking for clubs to suit your needs don't be afraid of the component club companies, they may offer just what you want.
