Also, hybrids are GREAT. I LOVE my hybrid 3 and 4--I hit them long and high and straight.

I agree that some technology is good. I learned to play with blades but that was back in the day when most people played with blades. The hybrids are probably the best piece of technology in terms of clubs to come along since cavity backs first appeared. Unlike most of the stuff out there, these do make a difference to the average player's game.
I also concur that if given a choice between spending an extra $500 on clubs or spending that same money on a few lessons, a beginner will get more out of lessons than the clubs.
