You can find a combination of both. Try Adams GT500s (4-LW). You can get these for under 200.00. You can probably find some Wilsons, or Spauldings for a little cheaper. Basically, you want to go with reputable names in the golf industry. You’ll see a lot of knock off brands that might try to trick you, stay away from them. Since this will be your first set of golf clubs, maybe check your paper or internet for some used set of quality clubs. When you are just learning, you could have a 1000.00 set of clubs and still won’t hit good. Well good luck!
