Callaway Golf Men's Strata Intro Complete 9 Piece Set (Regular Flex, Right Hand, Steel), Gray

I recently purchased this set for my brother and had the chance to take it to the driving range before giving it to him. The set is a barebones one, but it exceeded my expectations with its great feel, straight hits, and forgiving nature.As an avid golfer (read: hacker) myself, I found the clubs to be impressive overall. They performed admirably on the driving range, providing consistently straight shots and a comfortable feel.While I have used higher-end putters like my own Odyssey and others' Camerons before, I found the included putter in this set to be decent but not exceptional. It's essential to manage expectations when comparing it to more premium options.This set is an excellent choice for beginners or those looking to upgrade from their first set without breaking the bank.If you're considering entering the world of golf and want a quality start, this set is a fantastic option. While I had access to a local shop with a wide selection of used clubs at reasonable prices, I believe this set would have been a strong contender if that weren't the case.As golfers improve their game, they can explore other club options and trade these in or pass them on. So, it may be a practical investment that can grow with them.In summary, I highly recommend the Strata set for anyone starting their golf journey. It's a reliable and affordable option that won't disappoint. Whether you're buying it as a gift or for yourself, these clubs are a great choice!

great starter kit good looking clubs with good looking bag that hold up to a beginner golfer needs

Just getting back into golf after being away for 15 years, and two shoulder surgeries. Wanted a decent intermediate set of clubs that didn't cost an arm and a leg especially since I wasn't sure how my repaired shoulder would hold up to swinging the clubs again.I found this set during amzins prime day and pulled the trigger on buying them with the very big discount and I am so happy I did.These clubs look fantastic, they feel great in your hands, and feel great when you swing them. We went to the range and gpt a super bucket (about 75 balls) and after a few tentative swings to see how it felt I started putting the hammer down and these clubs just performed great for me. I've never been a great or even good golfer, but I was hitting pretty straight and with decent distance. The balance and weight are on par with some of the top of the line (and price) of the big names put there. My friends are serious golfers and spend 1000's of dollars on their gear and they were taking swings with my clubs and they were all impressed. The color scheme on the bag and clubs is really nice looking. I didn't feel like an outsider loading up the clubs into the cart and driving the course. I will be filling out the bag with the clubs I need like a sand wedge and some of the heavier irons that did not come in the set. I will be buying the matching clubs for the set. If you are looking for a nice set, that is affordable, and durable I would recommend these.Likewise said I'm just a guy who wants to go smack some balls with my friends and have no real aspirations in golf except to have fun and improve a little bit each time I go.

AMAZING first set of clubs!! Shiny, sleek and quality clubs for a great price. I love the black and grey design. I swear I have the best looking clubs at the range every time!! I like looking good while I play and these clubs do the trick. Two thumbs up!

Amazing set for beginners. I started taking lessons in December and I wasn’t ready to commit to this sport, so I bought this set.For $500 including the bag, it’s a great value for money. Irons are great quality and forgiving but the only problem is the driver, that is too soft and light. I’m still terrible with it, but I’d probably buy a good used one in the next months once I get better.

This is a great buy for beginners. It was recommended by my son's golf coach. He's been coaching for 20 years now.

I recently purchased this set of Callaway golf clubs and have been very pleased with this set. While I have only been using them for about a month, I feel that my game has improved, in no small part, because of these clubs. This is the best set of golf clubs I have ever owned. For a struggling golfer like myself, I highly recommend the Callaway Strata Ultimate set.

To all the people complaining that this set isn't made by Callaway, do some research! A quick google search on these clubs will tell you they aren't made by Callaway, they are just distributed by Callaway.To those complaining about durability; for some of you, I'd suggest only hitting golf balls with the clubs... Or maybe don't try your best Happy Gilmore impression. It's pretty obvious from some photos that it wasn't a golf ball or average golf swing that caused that much damage.Consider what you're paying and what you're getting here. This is a BEGINNER'S SET! A driver alone is $400 and up from one of the "big 5" manufacturers, and that's not including a bag, set of irons, woods, and putter. Highly doubt many beginners are ready to drop $3k on a full set of PING clubs.Like with any product, you're going to have some bad and some good.All things considered this is a great set for the price.Driver: Good - Isn't going to last forever. If you're pushing pro swing speeds, you'll probably just destroy this driver after a few rounds or less. Otherwise, forgiving, well balanced, durable enough for the average player.3 wood/5h: Good - 5h does everything you need it to. 3 wood may have similar problems as driver.Irons: Amazing! - Very sturdy, forgiving, great ball flight.Putter: Good - Basic blade with ball alignment. Yes, the bottom gets scuffed. Sorry to burst your bubble, but clubs are going to show signs of wear when used...Bag/club covers: Great - lightweight, plenty of storage. Better than anyone is willing to give credit for. Covers aren't anything special, but good enough and aesthetically pleasing.
