- £300 vs £3,000 Golf Clubs: what are the differences? With so many cheap and expensive options in the market today, is it worth splashing out on a set of custom-fit golf clubs? Or are you better off saving with a budget set?

I have Wilson’s I can hit every shot perfect low draw high draw fade low fade only issue is I don’t no when they are coming I play all right shots just not in the right order
I think these are cheaper Wilson clubs than other Wilson options.
@@aidanwatson3499 ya Wilson does have tour Level options as well.
Yeah I love my power fades and draws lol
There are Wilsons and there are Wilson Staff. Big difference
🤣🤣🤣
Anyone that has seen the vid on ricks channel with James on knows its the player. he went under par using a Slazenger half set
I started playing golf last year and bought a cheap package set to begin with, and like others have now started to upgrade the set as its not as good as I would like it to be. I do think that choosing from the second hand market is really tough though if you don't know what you are looking for and I think that stores like golf bidder could offer a second had pre-selected "Starter bundle" that might really help those of us who want to try it.
you can noticeably tell he wanted his set to win.
These kind of videos are so fun to watch no matter what... If you love golf like we all do who watch these videos if any thing give us a break from this crazy world we all live in.. I say kuddos to you brother !!!! Great platform period!!!
Did you adjust for the fact those shafts were more light weight? Or did you take your standard strength swing knowing they were lighter and bend the shaft on impact like a pretzel? For a beginner or a senior player these clubs would perform much better than this showcase lets on and I'd bet good money on it. Also, I don't feel some of the points made in this video matter for the person this set is aimed at. Bulky club head size? Who cares? Can't hit 300yds on a drive? Who cares? The whole point of this set is to teach you how to get the ball in the air and do it straight, not go out and shoot scratch golf.
I personally think the mindset of this particular video was way off. I know you're capable of hitting a ball VERY well, but you are not the demographic for this set of clubs. A 16 yr old who wants a nice looking set for their first clubs is. A 75 yr old playing executive golf on shorter courses is. (A skiny weak 37 yr old like myself with an 85 mph club head speed is lol) You've got to take that into account in the future. Not everyone is a PGA Golf Pro who can ball strike like a monster, shape shots and flop a 60 degree wedge into the hole from 35 yards.
As an owner of a set of Wilson golf clubs (£350 with bag) I can assure you that buying better clubs is not going to make me a better player. I kinda agree with Pete's sentiment (kind of...) but focus on practice and lessons before thinking you can buy yourself into a low handicap
I've got a similar box set that's the core of my bag; I've just been upgrading as I realize I need to (or, as I find a deal to jump on). That's one major advantage of a box set -- you're set to play golf immediately, and can take your time upgrading if you like.
And, yes, money spent on lessons for beginners is going to pay more dividends than money spent on gear. It's a poor mason that blames his chisel, as they say.
While this is 100% true, you also should not underestimate what a good club fitting can do for you.
I could put together a very good set of second hand clubs from eBay for £350, I think ultimately that was the point of the video, they're not even really worth the relatively low price
825 quid for a putter...I'd want it hand delivered by bryson personally and have him do some cleaning while he was here
But if it works it's worth every penny
Looked like you were trying to lose with the Wilson's tbh
Big fan of Pete's but not a big fan of the attitude in this video. Constantly belittling the WIlson clubs and talking about how bad they are. Surely the message in this video should be that golf is accessible and anyone can play using the equipment they can afford. Instead the message has been don't bother if you have these clubs or they are all you can afford
You totally missed the point. For 300 quid you can build a quality second hand set from places like ebay and golfbidder, and they will look and feel so much better than the wilsons. The majority of my bag is made up of second hand stuff, titleist 690cb irons 3-pw ive had for ten years that were 72 quid in the golfbidder auction! 3 vokeys that were about 50 each. My titlesi 970d driver and ping g25 3 wood were freebies from friend who upgraded. My clubs are great and cost me buttons.
Jacob falling and Pete hitting the golf cart with that shot gave me the best laugh. LOL
These are fun videos. I'd never consider a box set like that, but it's fun to see how you make videos about them.
Great videos Rick. send a few of the drivers to the US!
Well. . . The Wilsons aren’t anywhere near as bad as they’re made out to be here mind
Is the Wilson putter going in your bag? Best I’ve seen you put for a while!
Peter Finch: “Have you ever seen two more distinctly average golf shots in your life?”
Me: “Every time I play”
Coming back to golf I got a set of Wilson profiles. They got me back into the game.
I've since upgraded every club bar the 3 wood that came with it which is now my go to 5 wood
I'm a big fan of the solo match play when I can do it. I usually play "smart" golf vs "hero" golf so the "smart" ball almost never sees the driver off the tee and plays "proper" golf while the "hero" ball goes for every green from the tee box regardless of yardage and always has a gap to hit through.
Love it, when you heading back down to Carden Park? Would love to just come watch some time. You’re the whole reason I started playing golf after I stumbled across your channel during lockdown 1.0
Doing a video comparing a few beginner sets would be very helpful! Getting a new set this month and I just have no idea which sets are best
Well, with the last sentence I agree. But I was a bit disappointed by your performance with your very special putter. Of course you win with your special clubs, what else. I like your swing! Keep it up !!
Law of Diminishing Returns applies here. Also, would the expensive clubs make an average golfer that much better? They may save a few strokes but overall, but I’d say that it’s relative to the experience of the golfer.
i got those same Wilsons, they come in steel shafts as well, and they're actually pretty good, the finish on the driver is a bit meh, and the grips are a bit squiffy but I've only been playing 5 weeks now and my 6 iron is going 180 yards
Brilliant video. Have exactly the same issue with guitar students buying poor quality new instruments that are hard to play even as a professional. Much better getting a equipment 2nd hand in the same price range.
This video is very helpful i bought the Wilson set in steel about 8 months ago I am awaiting new titleist t300 to come and have completely more on from the wood in the set can’t not hit a thin with them
Playing off the golf cart for a layup was brilliant!! Haha
Why does Wilson only get reviewed as the cheap box set (against a fully custom fit set) or a blades set, both of which the average golfer won't or can't use. Dont think youtube reviewers are giving Wilson a fair shout when they pit them in videos.
Box sets are perfect for beginners. And I do mean perfect. They come with everything you need to get started. Considering you're probably taking 110-130 shots to get round 18 holes, you just need something that gets you started and you will hit them sweet once in a while and that's all you want. Once you feel you're improving just at being able to hit the ball, let alone worrying massively if it's going straight, then you might consider upgrading.
Box sets have a place in golf, but not for a pro like Pete, so it's no surprise he hated them.
Great video, Pete. I think that warm weather is getting to you! I bought a set of Strata starter clubs three years ago. Perfect clubs as I was learning the game. But, now I do want more. Just got fitted for some PING G425's. I hope the difference is a drastic as it seems in your video. :) Great content, Finchy. Merry Christmans.
some people only have £300 to spend Pete, If Golf bidder can do me a set of irons woods, rescue Putter and Bag for £300 then I would be very very surprised, plus you may of missed it but people are really finding it tough, it will soon cost £300 just to fill a car up with Petrol
Just plodding along with my slazengers 😂 Broke 90 first time last week. Just had a very positive lesson, 110mph club head speed with driver and have been taught a new swing technique which, after my first attempt at, was told by my instructor if I can learn to swing that way all the time, I should get to single figure handicap 😳 Given me a lot of confidence but still wanting a club upgrade! Right now tho, £500 seems as attainable as £50,000 😂
Peter, beautiful putter, the difference between my gem and yours, a tei3 face 34" Newport 2 and your arm lock putter
I like your irritation. I also agree with you. I used to play with those kinds of sets and they typically have the worst shafts ever… like rubber bands.
idk MAN for the average person, i don't think they would score any different between a $3000 set and a $300 set.
IDK I just watch a guy go below par with a 75 dollar half set of clubs....im thinking my money may be better spent on lessons than pricey clubs
Own bag bias! forcing wilson to concede a hole due to laziness, and then not giving the 3k bag a penalty stroke for dinging his own cart
I play with a mixed set of clubs that I bought from the local thrift store...I continue to stop in and buy whatever new they might have...at $3 per club I can afford to be disappointed, but I've just broken 85 playing twice a week and the bottom line is it' not the clubs, it's my skill level that matters...practice is more important than having a bunch of fitted, overpriced clubs.
Must agree with Alex Rob, but then again god you have some fun! love it
dude plays on pace with clubs 10x the price, and is dogging them? thats not a biased opinion at all
I feel like the biggest conclusion of this video was don’t spend $3000 on golf clubs. Lol. Thanks for the video Pete your content is always amazing.
Swing slower take more club and take it seriously and you don’t need $3000 set of clubs ridiculous
I've had a set of Wilson Deep Red's for about 8 years now & I love them, but the one time I used a TaylorMade SIM Max driver for a round I can't tell you how stark the difference was. I wanted to marry that driver 😆
"As soon as you get any level of better, you're going to want something better."
Can confirm; I bought a PowerBilt box set last year to get into golf, and I've been slowly replacing it, piece by piece, as I found gap holes (big gap between 150 and 200 for me with the 3w and 5h, and the lack of wedges meant I needed to add wedges to the mix for short shots) or other issues (I'm tall; I needed a longer-shafted driver and 3 wood than the set had). The main advantage of an inexpensive set like this is that it'll allow you to get out on the course tomorrow and play. Maybe not great -- I'd guess the average golfer won't lose as many strokes as Peter did, but certainly some -- but you CAN play them. Contrast with a rank beginner looking at the second-hand market, which can be bewildering.
Box sets are good for going to the driving range and learning to swing a club. They're good for a fun round. And you can upgrade as it comes. My next big buy is going to be new irons, but I'll wait on that until the grips start to go, as "honey, it was either $100 for new grips, or a bit more for new, fitted irons."
You holed more putts in this video with the Wilson than you have with that Sik in the last 3 months. Bag it.
State-of-the-art, top-dollar clubs might save the average recreational golfer a handful of strokes per round. More strokes to be saved by practicing your short game, and exercising better course management. If you have some cash to spend... go get a lesson or two from your local pro. Club upgrades can be had pretty cheaply if you're willing to hit discount/secondhand shops and garage sales. I recently picked up a used Biggest Big Bertha 9 degree driver for $20 and a very nice Cleveland sand wedge for $8.
Did you actually putt better with the Wilson holing some great medium range putts?
£825 for a putter!
Sweet Jesus Pete 😅
Mad isn’t it 😅
Maybe a little bit unfair.
Yes at your level, spending the money is worth every penny. But to be fair a 300 quid set is for the beginner just to get them going.
It would be interesting to see how I mod / high handicap player got on with something custom fitted vs a cheap starter set mind
id get rid of that arm lock. u putted better with the other new one
Subconscious bias may have been a factor, perhaps?
I have a set of these exact clubs but with steel shafts. Cost £439 from American golf. Played yesterday shooting 6 over par. I’ll take that any day 🤷🏻♂️. Driver shaft is a bit whippy but hey, I’m no PGA pro. 👍🏻
same, the steel shafts make a massive difference
I wanna see a tour pro play pete with a cheap set while Pete has his clubs and see what happens
What set are the Wilson's?
I started playing again in May and bought a set of these but with the steel shafts.
Only issue I have with them is that the bag is falling apart already😡
I am already saving for upgrades though to be fair.
Like Pete said, go for a nice set of 2nd hand clubs.
@@JenkoJaxter Dont know where to start with that! Think I will invest the money into some lessons and look at different clubs in the summer👍
Another on form video. Feel a bit sorry for Wilson. We ALL can't afford a bag of clubs worth £3000. So in fairness not really a fair fight.
i picked them up to get me back into it. Not played in nearly four years and second game shot +18 and they are majorly better than my old clubs in terms of consistency. I can feel the irons are shorter than when I use my mates clubs, and the driver (for me) will not carry past 249 no matter what. With my mates driver I can easily hit 270+. That said I paid £300 for these which is one quarter of the cost my replacement set over the next year will cost. I'll have more lessons and drop my handicap first then upgrade afterwards.
Would love to see Pete vs James Robinson and the Ultras! 🤜⚡🤛
Pete, I have the Wilson Profile XD with senior shafts $299 and have been playing them for 4 years. My H.I. is 15.8( I'm 68, 69 next month) I shot 72 twice this year and shoot low 80's I did replace the driver last year with a Mizuno ST190 HL when the Wilson cracked and added a 52º Vokey SM8 and replaced the blade putter with a Tommy Armour Impact 3 also I replaced the bag last year when it wore through. I play 70 to 80 rounds a year while I agree they are not the best they will work.
Nice video! In the budget category, I think the best deal going is the Callaway Edge, which is re-issue of the old Callaway X2Hot (the irons at least, but I think the woods might be as well), and the older Odyssey Pro 1 White Hot putter. 10 pemium clubs (driver, 3W, 5H, 6i-SW)
400£ plus VAT. Combined with the Coscto wedges (best deal of the year at about 120£) you are looking at 650£ about with bag for 13 clubs. Just saying....
Yeah, I got a full set of XRs for the same price too.
The benifit was that I could pick which clubs I preferred (hybrids/Woods, putter shape etc)
The con is it takes patience to find the right ones at the right price and you'll likely need a regrip since I've ended up with 5 different grip brands and shapes.
I understand. Good points overall.
I was thinking of budget options that have quality. Callaway just re-issued older tech at a good price. The Costco wedges are the deal.of the year. Period.
@@christianvachon2235 if I hadn't picked up the XRs my second was the Callaway Edge, I just wasn't a fan of the green colour. If the gold version had been out at that time, I would have bought them for sure.
I umderstand. Looks can make a big difference.
Best value is second hand eBay and fb marketplace. Can build a bag full of big brands for £400 quite easily
i bought those wilson clubs about a year ago when i started playing. 1 year later and im down to 29 in hcp. and now i can really feel that the clubs are making me stay at 29, can recommend for a beginner. but now im gonna change for something diffrent to hunt down my hcp. great videos peter!
shot par w these wilsons and i havent played in years
Yeah a friend got a set and I was way more consistent than with my old bag of hand me downs. I actually feel like I enjoy the game and am consistent now so consider it money well spent. That said I can see where I will be upgrading, but no rush. @@chancelorpalmz
I feel these are 2 extremes. 3000 vs 300.
I bet there is pro golfers who doesn't have 3000 worth of golf clubs.
I think it's important to notice that when pxg came out they were some of the most expensive clubs in tthe world and ended up being some of the sorts clubs made.
The price tag never guarantees the golf course score. Buy what feels right.
Oh man that shot where you hit the cart and it goes back into the rough... That's what you get for insulting the clubs in the scene before lol.
The only "fair" test would be a high handicap golfer playing the same two sets. He/she wouldn't have your tremendous swing speeds, negating the effects of the much better shafts your clubs have. An even better test would be to have a $300 box set against a set of more expensive clubs off the shelf/rack with the same basic shaft's - regular/stiff or senior. My final thought is that no beginner cares much about cosmetics or sounds.
That all said I really did enjoy the video and wish you an upcoming Merry Christmas.
Not the ending message I hoped for considering I have a very similar set of Wilsons :p
Hey Pete, loving the videos and jealous of where you are playing/filming. Was supposed to be there myself till chronic tendonitis has kept me off the course for 3 months. Looking to get fitted for Mizuno's or Titleist's in the NY with graphite shafts so I can play again. Clubs wise you have to get fitted to play your best and for me these two are the best brands for irons.
Peter, thank you for the review. But I wonder if it is OK to upgrade from US Kids Set to this Wilson Ultra XD set? My kids are 13 and 15 and they go to a golf school from time to time but nothing professional, they have still high handicaps. They've just overgrown the US Kids stuff. What do you recommend? Thanks!
Second hand, pre owned, used stuff, call it what you like. I call it the cheap way to buy pro line clubs which are ridiculously expensive nowadays. Just watch out for uses wedged which could be shot out in the grooves. Peters SIM driver will be old news next year with Taylor Mades new Stealth driver! Hopefully prices will drop on the Sim's.
made the mistake last year of buying a cobra starter set...half way through the year the irons felt like junk and the shafts bent. bought a nice used set of taylor mades. took them to the range twice. on top of being consistant, they were sooooo much better.
Great video as always Pete! I would love to see you do a comparison like this. Instead of two sets have three sets of clubs. Yours, a stock cheap set, then the same cheap set but fitted to your specs. Curious if there would be more of a middle ground in performance. Love these cheap equipment vs name brand videos. It's always interesting to see what all that money does and doesn't help with.
I love the sim max2 but there is no way I could drop 400+ on a driver when my entire bag Wilson set was $325 lol
Maybe at the top top level it matters thst extra half of a percent. I'm a 10 handicapper. In my bag I have the callaway epic driver gbb second hand 100 pound. Callaway steelehad irons second hand 280 pound, titelist wedges costing me roughly 35 pounds each second hand and odyssey putter costing me 60 quid total 570 pound for my clubs. So my set has costs the 5th of the price of petes. And to be honest the steelheads are immense I tried some of the new irons and I don't feel like they are any better. Look at Phil mickleson he uses a 2016 model driver. It's not all about equipment and technology it doesn't always better your game. Technique and practice usually is the best way to improve your game
You might as well move to the UAE at this point🤣🤣
Just imagine waking up with perfect sunshine every day 😎
@@peterfinchgolf Not in the Middle of July you wouldnt be saying that lol
Not to laugh at his pain but, my name is frustration with those clubs had me chuckling
I use that 2 iron. You’re going to love it. I got it in a HZRDUS RDX Black 6.5X 100g shafts. You’ll be on cloud 9 with your new girlfriend.
No bias in this video at all…
VERY interesting for me.. I bought a Wilson box set when I first started 2 years ago.
I find the irons to be OK tbh. I'm no big-hitter but can carry the 6i 180yds so was a little surprised you went Hybrid for that par-3 at the end. My drives are around 270yds for comparison but usually with a good hook these days! lol.
Saying that, the first thing I did when I got my set was to get a 60 degree regular blade-y wedge.
Then upgraded my driver to the PXG 0211 and the 3W to the Cobra SZ as I think the shafts on the stock ones are waaaay too "whippy". I couldn't tell where the head was when going after a shot.
Irons will be next then a full set of wedges. I don't mind the putter tbh. I put some lead tape on the back of it and found the balance much better.
But saying that for someone getting into the game, they're a good, forgiving club so not bad. I bought my box set for £250 from Amazon so you got robbed mate!! lol
Think thats bad here i am a year later and they are £350 lol
You don’t spend the money for performance (although if you have the talent, you’ll get a performance upgrade).
You spend the money because it’s nice to have nice things.
A million dollar Rolls isn’t 10 times better than a 100k Merc. But it’s fucking nice.
OMG you hit the golf car
At your skill level this is not a fair comparison at all. You are obviously going to play better with a fitted set because it is designed for you, and it is what you are used to
Tbh I’m broke atm and wanted to get into playing golf so I’ve bought some second hand clubs online for £90 so im guessing they aren’t quite as good as these 3K + clubs 😂 but hopefully they do me :) I got a driver, 3 Wood, Hybrid not sure which I can’t see any number just says MD Golf?, irons 5-SW and a club just says 52 on it so that’s a gap wedge right? And a putter, they’re in decent nick so get me out playing anyway in a sport I couldn’t afford to play otherwise without cheap options, need a bag though.
So it helps if you hit the ball properly to review clubs.
Now just so I'm clear, is "Wilson" the same Wilson who was a Castaway on that deserted island with Tom Hanks several years ago? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Wilson actually got rescued first. I never really kept up with him after that. Great content and I'm cheering for you Pete. If you need a caddie let me know. I'll try and find you one. Lol. Cheers buddy.
There are Wilsons and there are Wilson Staff. Big difference. The emphasis needs to be less on Wilson here, dragging the brand down, and more on “box set”. Mr Finch, as you well know, Wilson make some incredible clubs under the Staff banner (Blades and CB irons in particular, but the new wedges also very good)
It's not a fair test. Regardless of the clubs, you are practiced and have played and allow for the 'way you play' you're irons. I'm sure if you hit 500 range balls with each Wilson you'd get to know the shape and flight of them. Yes the stats will Prob always favour the better club but if we just talking 'how playable' are they. Well you'd have to play a good few rounds with 2 seperate sets after you had 'got used' to the clubs. If you knew the shaft was weak and was going to draw you'd be aiming accordinly. 👍
Starting golf playing 2004 big berthas, then found a set of Henry Griffitts irons 2-sw for 100$. I would never play a beginner/super forgiving set of clubs again.. the feel is just garbage compared to quality forged irons.
Pete been packing on those COVID kilos sheesh
Wilson putter needs to go in the bag 🔥2 great putts
I like the idea of a reverse Formula 1 format... Where the guy who can conquer the course with the cheapest clubs, bag, balls and the worse swing is winner...
I believe that is iceplant that your camera man slipped in.
Very much enjoyed the video Pete. Can I ask why the videos all have background music? It’s actually quite off putting, especially when you are talking!
At: 6:46….lost Ball. „From Rough to Rough with W…..Sr…“.
But Wilson is one of the most underrated Brand! I love the Brand (nur Not the HD).
since these clubs are meant for a beginner golfer, do the a similar video with a high handicap golfer swinging the clubs. Would the high handicap golfer see a difference?
Right off the bat you are playing clubs that you have been fitted for so no point it doing a distance test. Hand a beginner an expensive set of clubs and I doubt they would be able to pick up on a lot of things a better player looks for.
It is all relative, money does not make you a better player, skill does.
These golf clubs are not meant for you either, Peter. The shaft is too weak for your swing hence the slice. It is a set for absolute beginners. I had these for a year until they couldn't keep up with me anymore. Then I got fitted on all the Taylor made clubs. Wilson has a great beginner's kit here!
I like how he is ragging on the Wilson's but for 10% the price you wouldn't think they should be in the conversation much less winning the odd hole.
The shafts alone give the Wilson clubs a huge disadvantage already. May try putting on some good shafts on those clubheads, Pete.
I'm rocking a set of Wilson Profile and handicap has dropped from 8 to 5 this year. Just the irons, driver and fairway clubs are crap
Pete , when are you going to have a round against (the real )Peter finch to find out , who is the REAL PETER FINCH !!!
Absolutely nothing wrong with these clubs.
3000, that’s it? Go get a full bag at club champion. I had my son fit. He kept his 3w and putter. 5k for the rest.
After realizing the Wilson just goes straight, why didn't you just aim straight at the targets?
