What’s an appropriate set for a 15-year-old who’s enthusiastic about learning but realizes he could quickly outgrow whatever he buys? (I’ve diligently attempted to research this point, but most of what’s available assumes you know what you want, and the “advice” provided is limited to recommending places to get it.) ---

Unless I misunderstand the question, the answer is buy a cheap set from walmart. Man’s sized, that is. Physically, you won’t really outgrow a set of golf clubs if you buy a full sized set, and if you have no growth irregularities. Talent-wise, if you do outgrow them, then you will have the wherewithal to buy new ones for yourself. ---
