Callaway Golf Men's Strata Complete Set

Let me first start off by saying that for the price and what you are buying; you cant beat it. I ordered mine when they were $200 and I played my first course yesterday with them. This is my review as a beginner keep in mind:Look and Feel:Visually, these clubs are simple and do not have a lot of flare to them but that is something I like. There is no Callaway branding on them and the bag simply has Strata on the side. Not a problem for me, but I know that was a complaint among avid golfers. The clubs I received are sturdy and feel okay in the grip. The grips are comprised of this rubber like material and I found initially as I was testing them out at the driving range, my grip would slip as my hands got clammy. Wearing a glove fixed this issue when I played on the course but it is something to keep in mind when you buy them.Use on the Course:The driver I have problems with but that is most likely due to that I am a beginner. The irons are pretty standard and work as intended. The 5 Hybrid club really shines though and I found that after driving, this was my go to to get the ball on the green. The putter is okay, I have used others that feel better to me as I used them. This obviously is preference based and others may find the putter to be great. I will probably upgrade the putter.Overall:Overall, I highly recommend these clubs as a great starter set. The driver and 5H are forgiving for the beginner which is great so that the beginner, like me, can improve their game without much cost to the game on the course. For the money, you cannot escape the great value that come with these clubs. As a beginner to the game, I give the clubs a 5/5 and highly recommend.

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

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.

It’s a great starter set but if I had to do it again I would have started with the Calloway Edge instead little better value for the money. These clubs work great to start but I’ve found I have replaced almost every club with an upgrade..If you plan on golfing more than 3 times a year step up your game to a higher Calloway club!

Excellent value for mid tier clubs...very nice all around

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.

Great beginner set! Worth the money.

I decided to get back into the game and haven't had a new set since high school. So I did some research for quality, affordable golf clubs. These met all my requirements and some. They felt great the first time I took them to the range. I can see myself improving my game with these clubs.
