i'm a beginner only practicing in the driving range.
i would like to by my own set now, but after having tried the two mentioned
above i can't say which one will be the best choice.
i found so different prices searching the net i can't say anymore if it's
only a matter of materials, quality or technologies.
any advice?
thanx for any answer.

Good advice:

Spend money early on lessons with a pro [they'll provide suitable loaner
equipment].
The BEST you can hope for now is to buy a set of generic, 'regular' clubs
which may
or may come close to fitting your physique, strength, tempo, etc.

For instance - do you know the effect of shaft bendpoints? offsets? pluses
and minuses
of graphite? grip styles & sizes? cavity backs vs. blades? head sizes?...

MANY current long time golfers have spent a lot of money on clubs that
either they
didn't really like all that much or weren't a good match for them and MANY
of us
spent far too little time trying to learn the game w/o proper, consistent
instruction.

Question: Would you suggest a child learn how to read before or after you
sent him
to a library to pick out books that were a match for his interests and
ability to read
& comprehend?

After learning how to play, you may be best served by having custom clubs
built for you
which is often cheaper than buying a mediocre set of regular 'Whatever'
brand clubs.

On the other hand, if you are about average height and weight than you will
have close to a good fit with off-the-shelf clubs. If you are much taller
or shorter than 6 feet then you really might want to get custom fit. There
is nothing at all wrong with the Pro Staff irons, although the woods are a
bit sucky. Can't say about the Mizunos. IMHO, I don't think beginners
don't need to worry about the arcanery of club fitting like shaft bendpoints
and such. Do spend money on lessons though if you can afford it. Better to
start off with a more or less correct swing than try to break bad habits
later. Splurge later on nicer clubs.

i think i probably didn't explain my golfing "skill" accurately, so
maybe i gave the idea not to be able to play at all.
altough NC, i have quite a good swing (my pro's word), powerful and
correct in its movements,which results in a quite long shot (for the
level i'm playing)
i've already participate in some of the club friendly rounds on the
course, not beeig so bad.
the problem with iron borrowed at the club is that i can't always find
the same, so i have to learn ofetn with different brand iron. and i
think u know what it means.
so, i think it's the moment to buy my own set

>lessons with a pro
i'm doing it, regularly

yeah, i have some knowledge on the topic

> After learning how to play, ...custom clubs built for you...
i know that too

thanks for the answer

i fit the normo-type characteristic, so i don't have any problem in having a custom made set

at the moment i don't need woods, and whem i'll need them i could buy another brand, ain't i? :-)

thanks for your answer
