Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This review is for the RIGHT hand Callaway Men't Strata Set - I'm sure there is no difference for lefties. I'm an experienced golfer that plays with fairly high-end equipment that seems to get partially upgraded every season or two whether I plan to, or not. It's not uncommon for me to spend $1,000-$1,400 annually on upgrading equipment. Recently, I attended a 5 day golf clinic (all day, 5 days) more aimed at beginning golfers to work on some fundamentals since there are a couple things about my swing that I'm not happy with.One of the adult male beginners had this set of clubs he'd just purchased after using loaners on the range for about a month. I wasn't familiar with them, and had no idea what they cost him. My assumption from just looking at them was that they were a boxed set in the $700-$900 range probably competing with the Adam's brand. I had no idea these clubs could be had for around $200. I was partnered up with this guy for a 9 hole scramble on the second day of camp. For kicks, I asked if I could hit his driver. I hit a very low spin 240 yard drive right down the fairway with one practice swing - this is a normal drive for me distance-wise. I was impressed - again, still not knowing the price tag. For the rest of the round, I hit his clubs. They were fine... they really were. I thought the putter was a little light, and the woods were a little light at the club head (but honestly, they just felt like the Ping G30's to me... hit like 'em too). I don't think using his clubs for that round cost me a single stroke - in fact, I think I probably lost a couple strokes because all 5 of my drives were essentially straight. The irons and hybrids carried well... no issues at all. I've messed around with starter clubs before, and years ago (many), I burned through a few sets myself. The quality of these clubs surpasses other starter sets I've played. I'm surprised that these clubs can be had for around $200. It seems to me that they're quite the bargain at that price.
