$25 vs $2,000 Golf Clubs – Does Price Actually Matter?
In this golf comparison, I test cheap golf clubs under $25 against a full $2,000 premium golf set to see if expensive gear really makes a difference on the course. From driver distance to iron accuracy and feel around the greens, I put both sets through a full performance breakdown.
Whether you’re a beginner golfer trying to find budget clubs or a low-handicap player wondering if top-tier brands like Titleist, TaylorMade, or Callaway are worth the price, this video dives into real results.

This is me. I bought the cheapest golf clubs in the entire country. Now, you know, this deal actually is rusty. These might be over 90. Yeah, the cheapest. I paid $0 for the entire bag, and today I’ll be putting them up against my own set worth over $2,000. Are we wasting thousands of dollars on overpriced equipment? Will the cheap clubs be able to compete? So, I found this listing on Facebook Marketplace, and within minutes, I was in my car. One quick handshake later, and there were mine. But here’s the thing. Golf clubs are stupid expensive. So today, I’m playing nine holes to find out if these sketchy budget clubs are truly trash or are the big brands ripping us off. That’s better. should be nice. Yeah, it had a ton of spin on it, but I’ll tell you guys, it did not feel as if it was going to go directly at the flag. Like, for me, that kind of felt far right. So, with these clubs, it feels as if I’m throwing everything out to the right field. This isn’t a good feel for me since I like to fade the ball, so I like to come across it a little bit. So, this is a super new and weird feeling for me. No, it’s perfect now though. I might need some hearing aids after that one. I’m not joking. My ears were ringing. That driver sounds like a rifle going off. No joke. The amount of spin you get with these type of clubs, they’re not It’s not optimal, I’ll tell you that. Just like that. I mean, it’s a pitching wedge type of height, right? I barely swung on that one. Not because it was necessary, but because my ears were still ringing from the last time driving the ball. All right, so uh 80 yards further back than what I’m used to. But we’re in the fairway. That’s new to me. And that is left and is going really far actually. Dude, the these clubs are not predictable. I’ll tell you that. They are not predictable. They’re fun, not predictable. I mean, these aren’t that bad. The actual wedges aren’t that bad. Uh, everything else though feels just so wonky. Yeah. So, pitching and chipping are completely fine. Only thing that’s terrifying are the full shots. Same left and right. Oh, thank you. What? It’s dead center down the fairway. Who? What? Probably 4,000 5,000 spin, but it’ll work. These are the uh in between shots that are a little bit scary with these clubs, but leaked it out. Right. Go. Bunker. Well, if you pulled your socks up a little bit higher, maybe the ball would have gone straighter. No. So, I aimed right and the face didn’t close. Now, I’m in a tough position. Don’t get me wrong, the clubs work, but you will start to question your swing after a couple of shots. Wow, it broke Hank. It’s on the green. Okay, so an incredibly tricky putt. Now, this putter might be the worst putter I’ve ever tried. It is just awful. I can’t believe they went through production, marketing, all the segments. And then no one asked questions. My goodness, what a pot. That was my dear Lord, please don’t hook it into the left trees shot. Yeah. Yes, we have done that before. But here’s the thing. We have a thousand views or whatnot, so it doesn’t matter. Hopped. I’m going to go with that that pitching wedge of mine. Might call me crazy here. I have a decent lie. I can get it up and over that tree. Yeah, that’s nice. I was so scared of getting past the hole. Free clubs are not as good as one would hope. But here are all the perks for having very cheap clubs. They’re either free or dirt cheap. Your wallet stays happy. Every shop feels like an adventure. If you like to roll the dice, these clubs are for you. Rage as much as you want. Let your anger out. You’ve got nothing to lose here. They were free. Here are the cons. Beggars can’t be choosers. You get what you get. Usually, they’re old, used, and completely worn out. Low to no tech, so you can throw forgiveness out the window. Tetanis shot. I’m serious. There’s no such thing as free lunch. It took forever to find this deal. And it was 45 minutes away. Hence the $25. I know the tax man’s listening. Grips dry rotted, shafts rusty, grooves basically gone. And I’m pretty sure at some point something was living in the bag. Now for the $2,000 clubs. Now with these you can expect a top tier modern material, premium feel for every shot. They’re going to feel super stable. They can be forgiving, consistent, and built with tech that actually helps. With this budget, you can tailor them to your needs. Perfectly fitted for your swing, height, and tempo. You can be confident over the ball with a predictable flight in mind. Now, over to the cons. They’re expensive. Duh. When you miss, it hurts twice as much since you spend all of this money to play well. They’re high maintenance. Cleaning, head covers, travel anxiety, you name it. And they still won’t fix your bad swing. I’m sorry, guys. I am so excited to play my other clubs, though. Try it again right here. man. Yeah. So, uh, let’s end it on that. So, what do you guys think? Is it worth spending two grand on golf clubs? Comment down below and tell me what you guys are rocking. Also, if you like the video, make sure to subscribe. I’m trying to make 1,000 subs before Halloween. And with that, I’ll see you guys in the next
