Hello out there, anyone on here into golf? I am looking to start playing, and was wondering whether the Wilson X31, would be a good setup to start out with? I need something that is a little lengthened.

If you’re just starting off, your clubs aren’t going to make much difference. I have been playing for years and just recently purchased new irons. My advice would be to buy a used set that you can spend some time learning how to swing, and then spend some more money as you get better.
Nah man, this is a Wall Street forum. Everyone here races cars, jumps out of airplanes, and flies into space on rockets. Golf is for the poors.
Pick up a used set from a golf store near you. You'll pay the same as the starter set and actually have a decent set of clubs
Second this.
You can also find some cheap sets on Amazon for like $300-$400 if you don't go used.
Get ready to hate golf for the first months. I took a similar plunge and it's a ridiculously frustrating (but fun) hobby before you get the hang of it.
Did u hire a trainer or just learn yourself
Took one lesson from a trainer right at the start, watched a lot of "learning to golf" youtube channels, and most of all just hit as many balls as I could.
idk if my strategy was good though. A trainer definitely isn't going to hurt.
My recommendation is to start out with an instructor - buy a package of 3 or 5 lessons. Then practice for a while, start building out the skills - then go back for more as you progress. I would spend 75%+ of your money/time on lessons and practice vs. golf clubs or anything else. Buy cheap balls that you don't care about losing. etc.
Online channels can be helpful - but they can also get in your head. There's only so many 'one powerful trick' or 'these five moves for more power' that you can do before you become a mechanical disaster. I suggest getting an instructor you like, focus on fundamentals and build a good base to work from.
Also recommend getting a second hand set of 'regular' clubs if at all possible - beginner sets can be hit or miss, a normal set that's a few years old and slightly used is great to start and lets you grow a bit without having to quickly replace clubs.
