golf equipment like beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or the buyer)
whatever you can sell them for is what they are worth.
one man might want a big bertha the other **** them.
might pay you $400 the other no more than $200
depends on who’s buying that day.
you can look at ebay for closed auction prices for an average price.
but like houses they have a lot of them for sale
that lot is worth around $300 on ebay it is old gear now.
Okay, You’ve got a driver (the Callaway), a putter, a 3-wood (the Cobra), and a hybrid (the Tight Lies, which replaces a three iron). look for another number on the club heads (9, 10, 10.5, 13, 15, 18, 21, etc.) and that will tell you the LOFT of each club. Loft generally means how high the club will hit the ball. Bigger numbers= higher.
First, in terms of what they’re worth. Not much, I’m afraid. They seem to be at least ten years old, and in golf equipment terms, they’re antiques. The only possible exceptions are the Hawk Eye, which under the right circumstances could be worth $25 or $30 bucks and the Ping bag, which depending on the type (stand-with collapsible legs or cart-no legs) and condition could be worth $15-20. Without pictures, it’s really just an estimate.
You obviously are missing a set of irons. Just starting out, a decent set of used clubs, 4 iron through pitching wedge should work. Look for older sets of Adams, Ping, Callaway, Nickent, Cobra, etc. Most can be had on the cheap and are decent quality.
Last words of advice: hit HARD, get lessons, practice, practice, practice.
it’s worth what you paid! you need some wedges 52 deg gap, 56 sand, 60-62 lob.
