I am a beginner golfer with probably less than 30 games under my belt. I am sick of borrowing/renting bags and am going to buy a complete set, and feel like I shouldn't have to spend a whole lot more than $200.00.
The 2 main brands I continue to run into in this price range are Hippo & Acuity.
Here is what I have learned from the web:
Acuity is a DiksSportingGoods brand. It sounds like IF they don't lose their heads they are a really club to start out with. (But I have read a lot of reviews saying they lost their heads)
Hippo is a brand from england with a decent history in the game, I have not read about as many incidents of breakage with Hippo, but I have heard a little more dis-satisfaction with the performance.
Any input or recommendations for other good beginner clubs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hippo has been getting a better reputation and moving up in the golf world lately. Their Hex 2 line was well regarded as a value brand.
I've heard of no such progress with Acuity. In fact, I heard many saying that Slazenger would see a drop in quality (when it was recently purchased to be a house brand by "Richard's" Sporting Goods).
I haven't swung either brand myself.
