I'm thinking about getting a different set of clubs, something designed for medium to high handicap. I know past of my budget ought to go towards lessons. Part of my thought process for getting clubs also is pretty superficial - if I'm going to be playing at a CC, I don't want to have some sucky knock-offs. I remember being the kid with the shoes that looked like the good shoes, and the ribbing I got as a kid, so under these circumstances, getting a decent set of clubs might be a good idea (yeah, I know the status-symbol thing is stupid, but I didn't say I was going to get the most expensive set I could find).
I know the Callaway Big Bertha irons might not be too bad of a choice, but I'd appreciate some suggestions.

i'd worry more about your swing and technique than the brand of clubs.
you talk about getting mocked for having knockoffs, but i can tell you that it's just as funny to see a total hacker sporting a nice set of sticks.
