Golf club recommendations for someone getting back into golf

I use to play a bit in high school and want to get back into it more but im out of the loop with the new tech. I am a beginner to intermediate player ( high 80s to 90s)

My current clubs from 14 yrs ago are the Tour edge V-blades which I hear is for more advanced players and is very unforgiving on the hands when hit badly. I am looking for something more forgiving on the hands (looking for longevity and dont want to hurt my hands long term) and that is suitable for my current level but also will let me grow into as I develop as a player. I hear graphite shafts is generally better if i want more forgiving clubs?

I apologize if this is not the place to ask. If you dont have any recommendations id appreciate if you can direct me where I can start to learn and research, because even back in high school I was never really into the tech (I just hit whatever was given to me) Much thanks!

Edit: Budget is flexible, but under $800-900 is strongly preferrable
