Which one should I choose? -cheap(<$100) clubset comparison

Hi,
First of all, I don't mind whether I am not having a full set of the same brand.
Looking for a good full set deal, I made the list for my final decision:

1. Dunlop Tour Special 12PC: $99.99
Designed for players looking for maximum playability and forgiveness.
Forged 460cc Titanium Matrix Driver
Forgiving 3 & 5 fairway woods
Easy to hit 3 iron Hybrid
Graphite shafts in woods and hybrid
Stainless steel 4-PW irons
Includes Free Sand Wedge

2. RAM Laser 11PC: $99.99
Designed for the mid handicap player who wants the benefits of game improvement and the latest in golf technology.
Cavity backed Titanium matrix irons.
Cavity back irons with copper weighted sole plate put more weight below the ball at impact resulting in a higher ball flight trajectory and increased forgivenss. Steel shafts.
Oversized forged Titanium 6061 woods with graphite shafts for explosive distance.
Tour wrap Ram grips improve feel and control in all conditions.

3. Wilson Ultra Overdrive 11PC: $99.99
I'd rather ditch this choice because it has zinc alloy irons and aluminum woods.

4. Dunlop DDH MF33 17PC: $199.99
Oversized Forged Ti-matrix Driver with Graphite shaft.
Two Forged Ti-matrix Fairway woods with Graphite shafts.
One Forged Ti-matrix Hybrid with Graphite shaft.
Six Stainless Steel Irons (5-PW) with lightweight steel shafts.
Package includes:
Putter(Steel shaft)
Four Head covers
DDH Stand Bag

All these sets are from SportMart(.ca). :)
I will add a putter and the bag for them(in case of 1-3). I have tried to find some descent reviews, but I totally failed. What I need to know is that which one is going to potentially improve my golf skills while giving me the pleasure of easily enjoying the game with friends.
Please don't blame my cheap mind because I am sure that these are all suitable for my level and situation.

Have a good one,

Bill

Either of the Dunlops would be a better choice than the other two listed. For starter sets they are not bad... the DDH set being the better of the two. You'll be ready to upgrade by Xmas :-)

Thanks, 1972Apex.
I was little bit worried about Dunlop clubs because some people say Wilson has been doing this business for a long time and Dunlop has not.
I hope I will need the upgrade anytime soon. :)

I have another question. I've found this set:
-----
TIGHT LIES BiMatrix Smooth Temp 10 degree driver.
RAM LX 400 Oversize with Flex-Matched 100% Graphite shafts.

Will this beat those two Dunlops mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.

Stick with the Dunlops....
If you want to spend $150-200 on used clubs you could find them on this forum in the classifieds and they would be a considerable upgrade.

The Dunlop Tour Special 12PC: $99.99 is the better deal of the two. Throw them in any old bag and play golf :cool
Looks like there's no putter in that set but you can probably get a better putter for free than the one that comes with the other starter sets (I have a couple you could have for free :-)).

Last weekend I took them and went to Rivière Beaudette with friends. :lmfao
(:shhh: I brought the full set of Dunlop first, but I never opened the box and exchanged it.)
One sad thing was that one of them played with Tommy Armour irons given by another friend. He didn't know I started to play golf. :wallbash

What I felt for the clubs so far is that it's little bit hard to fly the ball with the hybrid than traditional irons.
By the way, thanks for the putter, please give me the direction how to get the free one! :-)

Have a good one.
