  Not a huge difference.
  Here’s an example, my brother who has Callaways is an “okay” golfer. I am a beginner and have the Walmart type brand. When we both started out, I was better than him using my Walmart brand. So, Callaways did not save his game. However, as he got better, he beat me.
  I don’t see Callaways shaving 5-10 strokes from your game. However, it might help you “a little bit”. For example, the stiffness of the shaft might be better on a Callaway than a Walmart brand. The head might be more responsive. The weight transfer may be better. However, the composition of the club may be the same.
  Just take this as an example, the drug Advil has the main ingredient of Naproxen. I could go out and buy the generic brand as long as its main ingredient was also Naproxen.
  It’s the brand name you’re paying for.
  However, keep this in mind. The “brand name” stuff is sometimes better than the “cheapys”. For example, I prefer a Nike or Adidas shoe over ones you find in Walmart or Target because I prefer the comforability and wear of the name brands. Plus, Nikes and Adidas’s are lighter than the Walmart kinds.
  That’s the difference between name brand and generic.
  View the small differences between them. Gauge the pros and cons.
  If they are so minor, than a generic brand is okay.

  it depends. i’ve never played with top flite clubs so i dont know their quality but if they aren’t very good and you have mastered the basics of the game you will but if either of the above is not true you wont notice an improvement.

  The difference is purely psychological.
  If you are an elite golfer (I’m talking professional), then you may be able to appreciate the difference in materials.
  Otherwise, your money is best spent on lessons.
  You’ll notice a much larger improvement with lessons and practice rather than spending a large portion of dough on “miracle clubs”

  It helps, but a lot depends on the person using them. All the equipment in the world cannot help if you haven’t mastered the basic of the game.

  Maybe. I currently own an Adams GT2 driver ($80), that I hit a slight fade with. It is 9 degrees, and I hit about 275 average drive. I once teed up with a Callaway X460. It was about 20 yards shorter, but was slightly straighter.

  It’s the player more than the club.

  I play with some of my Dad’s Callaway drivers, and you can really reach out and touch someone with those babies. Really expensive, but I think the drivers are worth the price.

  According to many articles I’ve read the difference is just in your mind. Many pros recommend to ignore brand’s names and focus on practice and swing mechanics. Do not seek an expensive top of the line brands, better spend your money on a good trainer.
