Dunlop is a great set of clubs for a beginner or high-handicapper. You aren't paying a ton of money for clubs that have technology that you can't benefit from, but you can go out and enjoy the game of golf without spending a ton of cash.

I started out with a set of no names that I bought at a yard sale, then moved into a set of Top Flites that I paid $200 for, which included everything except a putter. I used those clubs until I got to the point that I could benefit from a game improvement club from Nike, TaylorMade, or some other name brand company. If he's new to the game, or still isn't very good, be glad that he didn't spend many hundreds or even a couple thousand dollars on equipment.

DON"T LEAVE THEM IN YOUR TRUNK! The set in a box option is good for the leisure golfer for sure but don't leave them in your trunk on a hot day. Or at least make sure they cool off a little before playing with them. The manufacturer's of clubs like this utilize bargain components. The epoxy they use to mount the shafts is no different. I just saw two weeks ago some guy at a course fling his driver head straight down the first fairway. He left his clubs in his trunk and the glue loosened and before they had time to cool he played. The set he was playing was an Acuity set-in-a-box so buyer beware not to play rough with these types of clubs. But Dunlop is a little better than Acuity or any of that other stuff that's made by second branch brand manufacturers.

I bought a set and sold them a month later. The head is too heavy and the balance is worse than average clubs.

I would suggest you buy brand name clubs, they are more expensive but they are a good investment.
