Get a club that's easy to hit...ie, cavity backed, NOT tour blade style. I would imagine that the blade kinda club wouldn't be the ones at the discount stores, but just look at them to make sure.
Also, there are places around who make "knock off" clubs, like Big Bertha and Ping, for a fraction of the cost. They use a different metal to make the heads, and the shafts won't be graphite, and they won't last like the real deal, but most places will custom fit them, which is much more important to your game. For irons, a medium stiffness metal shaft will be fine.
I take a 2 degree upright club; I have Ping Zing 2 green dots...I went through the whole deal of consulting the pro, and getting measured etc. I still suck, of course, but there's no way now for me to blame it on my equipment lol.
When people ask me what my handicap is, I say "my swing". [:D]
