This company was a pioneer in the late 1990s with their Tri-metal fairway woods. But the small company grew too quickly and fell on hard times. The genius behind the designs, Jesse Ortiz, is now working with Dave Pelz (the short game guru) building Bobby Jones wedges.

Orlimar is now owned by King Par, a value club company. This set of men's hybrids is priced pretty reasonably. I would recommend them for beginners and seniors for improving their game and making it more enjoyable. They are very forgiving and will help you get the ball airborne.

However, for a little bit more money, I would highly recommend the Adams Idea A7 Hybrid Set. Adams, like Orlimar, is a pioneer in their own right, launching the Tight Lies fairway woods in the mid '90s. These clubs have a superior feel and design and will give beginners some room to improve without having to go buy a brand new set of golf clubs in six months.

SWING BATTA BATTA, SWING!"

Listen up, baseball players: the shaft of these clubs were inspired by a baseball bat. Wilson makes the Demarini baseball bat, which is a high-tech bat that is used by 150 college baseball teams including the Oregon State Beavers, who won the College World Series in 2006 and 2007.

This technology fuses the two leading materials in golf clubs today, with graphite at the top (where you grip the club, giving you a better dampened feel and lightweight for increased swing speed) fused with steel at the tip to provide stability and less twisting on off-center hits.

I recommend these clubs to mid to high handicappers that are looking to take strokes off of their game immediately. This is a super, game-improving set of irons that you will be hard-pressed to find anything more advanced from a technology standpoint.

In addition to the cavity back irons (7 through PW), you also get Wilson's Fybrids. These are one of the best lines of hybrids on the market. You may not get as much distance as you get with some of the other hybrids that put a premium on distance, but what you give up on distance, you gain in playability.

Watch out Adams Golf -- here comes Wilson. If you want to compare, take a look at my review of the Adams Idea A7s. These are certainly going to be less expensive, but then again, they aren't made from a baseball bat!

These are Tommy Armour's Silver Scot Forged Cavity Backs, and they are a great-looking set of golf clubs.

Let's start with the faces. They have a forged cavity back design. The perimeter weighting gives you some forgiveness while the forged clubhead provides a good feel. What's more, the irons having a curved topline throughout the set which gives you more forgiveness for those mishits high on the face. And the faces are not huge and oversized, thus you have the ability to work the ball.

I would recommend these golf clubs to low to mid-range handicappers. As I mentioned, they are forgiving but still take some ball striking consistency to really appreciate the feel and workability of the forged faces.

My favorite thing about the set are the rifle shafts. They come with Precision Rifle Shafts that are frequency matched for each club and they are "flighted" which gives you different trajectories for each iron, thus giving you easier swinging long irons and spot-on short irons.

The one drawback to this set is the grips are too thin. I would have the set re-gripped as soon as I got them out of the box. But don't fret the extra money having them re-gripped, because these clubs are absolute steel.

They incorporate an inverted-core technology to expand the sweet spot, giving the irons a bigger and hotter clubface. The cavity back is very traditional looking, and I like the basic teardrop shape.

The 3-through-6 irons have a foam-filled chamber directly behind the clubface, allowing designers to construct a very thin (2.0 millimeter) face that is unsupported for high ball speeds.

My favorite thing about these irons is the stock shafts that TaylorMade constructs them with. It is a 90-gram KBS steel shaft with a progressive-thickness wall. This gives the iron an added stability.

I recommend these irons for mid-to-high handicappers who are looking for a traditional-looking cavity back iron that will give them some forgiveness and extra distance on those mishits.

However, these irons aren't for those players that like to work the ball. For irons that give you a more workability but still some forgiveness, I would recommend the Nike Victory Red Forged Split Cavity Irons. This is a beautiful set of irons designed for better players who still want a forgiving cavity back.

They're the most inexpensive irons I've seen that an actual PGA pro plays.

CCi stands for Composite Cavity Insert. The cavity back design makes the club a bit more forgiving than the typical blades the pros normally use. The insert enhances the feel, which to most pros' dismay, is lost with a standard cavity back.

In addition, these irons are constructed from 431 stainless steel which is 25% softer than the 17-4 that is more commonly used, and the tungsten weighted sole moves the center of gravity lower, giving these Nike tour quality wedges even more forgiveness.

Finally, the face is milled to give a more consistent distance and minimize shot dispersion.

I would recommend these clubs for any low handicapper. You really are getting the best of both worlds, with a forgiving cavity back type club built into a traditional clean-looking clubface. And workability is not a problem either, as they've thrown away the book that says you have to use a blade to work the ball. This is simply not the case -- workability is all about the distance between the heel and toe, NOT what's behind the clubface.

Before buying these, you might take a look at the Mizuno MP-58 Iron Set 3-PW as well. This is another tour-quality iron with a forgiving cavity back clubface. Just beware, the price of the Mizunos is considerably more than these bargain basement priced Nike CCi's.

I think Mizuno makes the most beautiful irons of all the major club makers. But buyer beware, these clubs are blades designed for exceptional players.

The MP-68 irons are Mizuno's latest and greatest tour quality clubs. It looks to be shaped from the classic MP-33 iron which is extremely popular. However, these irons have the most recent technology packed into this high performance blade. These bad boys have "3D muscle technology" which is the product of computer optimization. This moves the center of gravity location lower and deeper in the face than any other blade Mizuno has ever made. This, in addition, provides the MP-68 to have stronger lofts than previous blades.

The MP-68s have a "patented grain flow forged 1025E pure select mild carbon steel," which gives the club a soft but solid feel. They have modified U-grooves with provide a lot of spin on the ball and give you the ultimate in workability.

Finally, the MP-68s has a rolled leading edge and trailing edge. This gives the iron a better contact with the turf, and the flattened mid-sole gives you more accurate ball striking.

I would certainly recommend these clubs to any low handicapper (if you think you can handle them). However, if you are little intimidated, you might take a look at the MP-58s. This is a very similar design, but with its cavity back design it is more forgiving.

However, most golf club combo sets are cheap crap that you will outgrow in a few months. This is not the case with this set of TaylorMade Burner Irons. These are good quality golf clubs that I would highly recommend for those of you just starting out.

First of all, these clubs have a huge sweet spot. The large perimeter clubface will help give you some forgiveness on off-center hits. The sole of these clubs is wide and beveled. This brings the center of gravity low and deep which will help you get the ball up in the air quickly.

The best thing about these clubs, and why they are a little more expensive than your typical "Walmart Starter Kits," is the shafts. These are TaylorMade's well known Burner shafts. These shafts are very light and long. This promotes a higher swing speed, which obviously gives you more distance.

If you are starting out and feel like you might spend some time on this great game of golf, I would recommend spending the money for this TaylorMade Combo set. This is a high quality golf club, designed for the beginner, but good enough so that you won't have to go out and buy a new set as soon as you improve.

It comes with a 430 cc driver, an 18 degree 3 wood, a hybrid wood, 3 irons, a putter, and a backpack-style stand bag. This set is ideal for teens with the height range of 5'1" - 5'7".

This is an inexpensive set of golf clubs to get your teen going in our great sport of golf. All the technology in this set is designed for beginners. The graphite shafts of the driver and the woods are light and easy to swing. All the clubs are oversized with a big sweet spot. The irons are offset to help square the clubface, and of course all the teens enjoy throwing the backpack bag on their shoulders.

I would recommend this set only if you are unsure if your teen is going to like this sport, or if you just don't have the money to invest in a high quality set of clubs.

However, if your teens are already addicted to this game and you want a decent set of clubs to get started, check out the Adams Golf A2 Irons. These are very forgiving clubs that they will learn to hit very quickly. What's more is, these clubs are much higher quality and will continue to compliment their game as your kids progress.

I'm not going to lie to you. There's no practical way to get a decent set of clubs for a couple hundred dollars.

With this in mind, let's take a look at the Cougar XC-3 Men's Complete 12 Piece Golf Set. I have run across a lot of these -- let's call them "starter kits." This particular one has 12 pieces. It has a driver, a hybrid, five irons, and a putter. I'm not really going to waste a lot of time here elaborating on the design of these clubs. They are cheap, low-quality clubs that -- if you spend any time at all practicing -- you will grow out of in a matter of weeks.

If you are learning the game and you want a decent set of clubs to get started, check out the Adams Golf A2 Irons. These are very forgiving clubs that you will learn to hit very quickly. What's more is, they are of high quality and will continue to compliment your game as you progress.

Hey, what can I say? Golf is an expensive game, but it is the most rewarding game you will ever play.

Wow, I knew the airline industry was in trouble, but this is ridiculous. Hahaha! Get it? (I know -- lame.)

Okay kids, my problem with these starter kits is well-documented. They're garbage. If you want to get started in golf, I recommend you invest in some decent "sticks" that you won't grow out of in a few months.

Take a look at the Adams Golf A2 Irons. These are very forgiving clubs that you will learn to hit very quickly. Trust me; with these clubs and a little practice, you will get the ball airborne in no time. What's more is, they are of high quality and will continue to compliment your game as you progress.

Think of learning golf as like learning to fly an airplane. Just because you are a beginner, you don't want scrimp on your equipment. You'd still want to get in a quality aircraft that you can learn the basics and one that will compliment your skills as you progress. Who knows, one day you may even get good enough to fly a jumbo jet. (Just don't work for Delta. They've regressed to making cheap golf clubs.)
