Answer by cdc
The clubs are old, but they are still decent for an average golfer. The only thing I would suggest is to ditch the 15* rescue, as your 3 wood is 15* also, and add a lob wedge, about 60*. The lob wedge can be your most versatile club in your bag if you know how to use it. Everything else should be ok if you are a mid to high handicapper.

do u have a driver? if not GET ONE! get rid of the 3, 4 irons replace them w/ 3,4 hybrids. whts a trimental????????? those rescues seem like 1 , 2 irons…. dont need them……. get a 5 wood
Your 15 degree Rescue is a 2 iron and your 18 Degree is a 3 iron and your 11 Degree is a Driver.
I would ditch the 3 iron since your 18 degree rescue is a 3 iron and add a lob wedge. Your 15 degree Rescue is close to your 3-wood and could be replaced with a 5-wood. The biggest change you could make would be to replace the old Orlimar Trimetal with a new Driver. They do cost a lot, but the technology has changed so much the change would make a big difference from the old Trimetal you now have.
If you are a beginning golfer the set you have would be a good set to start with. Learn to play the game before you spend money on expensive equipment.
I think your irons are King Cobra. Otherwise, the set looks fine, as long as the club’s shafts match your swing, i.e. Regular Flex.
I had pretty much the same set up as you, until i dropped my 3i for a lob wedge (60*). it helped my short game alot, but only because i put so much practice into my lob wedge. I would say drop your orlimar driver for something more conventional (assuming you are an average male with an average swing speed) maybe go with a 9.5 lofted driver and go with a stronger 3wood (13*) and drop the 15 degree rescue club. your 18* rescue should be able to compensate for your 3i and you will get more distance from the fairway with a stronger 3wood. Hope that makes sense. hahah…good luck
