Before I got these clubs, I sliced almost every time because I was using a 20-year-old driver without forgiveness. Given all of this, it was a no-brainer inclusion in our guide on the best golf club sets for beginners. This results in slightly less distance and forgiveness, but not to a point where it will noticeably affect your game. They were superior quality compared to other beginner sets and the sets of clubs came in 12, 14, and 16-piece options. The Strata Plus Set is a full set with a great combination of distance and forgiveness right out of the box.

The warranty is considered void if the item has been modified, altered or tampered with by a person not authorised by S247 PLC to provide service (not including standard periodic maintenance). This oversized fairway wood is very forgiving and has a more aerodynamic head shape for long, high flying shots. The topline is nice and thick to inspire confidence at address while the generous amount of offset should suit those who tend to slice their irons.Both hybrids were decent to hit off the tee, but out of the fairway or rough, the lack of extra flex meant they flew very low and were hard to launch. It’s on the cheaper side, so don’t expect fantastic waterproofing, and if you’re storing valuables in this bag (like your phone) then you might want to invest in a separate dry bag to keep them in. If you’re in a rush I would be very happy for any beginner student of mine to turn up with the sets above. A lightweight 460cc forged driver that has a large sweet spot, a titanium head, and provides more forgiveness to help you hit it farther off the tee.

He spent 10 years lecturing part-time at Leeds Beckett University and the University of Leeds in Biomechanics and Motor Control before becoming the Head of Golf for the University of Exeter. Graphite shafts make the overall weight of the clubs lighter compared to the steel shafts that come in the standard 12-piece set. It’s going to be fine for getting you playing golf, but it might be the club you think about swapping out first as you move from beginner golfer to intermediate. About this Review: This review is my honest opinion of the golf clubs, which I purchased with my own money in July of 2021. Please note the warranty does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, accidents, misuse, lack of maintenance, neglect, natural disaster, or other external causes; to damage caused by operating the equipment in a manner outside that described in the instructions.The good news is there’s plenty of storage space on the bag, with 2 zip pockets for balls and tees, and large compartments on each side. Dan has now tested and reviewed over 30 pairs of golf shoes since he joined Golf Monthly and is an expert in the field. The lightweight 460cc forged driver, fairway wood, hybrid, irons and putter make up a set that provides a great combination of distance, forgiveness and control, and is very easy to hit. I’ve been golfing with the Strata set for about 6 months ( twice a week ) never have had an issue with the set. Which should give you the confidence that you’ll be able to get it up in the air from the short stuff.

But as you’ve read this review, you know exactly what you’re getting, so there will be no surprises when you open the box. One of the nice things about the Strata sets is the ability to choose from a few different set makeups.These clubs will open up beginner and average players' games and start to shape them into higher-level handicap golfers. The distance isn’t quite up there with a premium driver, but we were still impressed with the range this driver had to offer. Now you have full course coverage from tee-to-green, giving you the confidence to hit good shots with every club in the bag.

So on my first 18 with these new clubs and lots of practice to get used to them, I stepped up to hole number 1. The 12 piece set has a steel shafted driver and fairway wood, whereas the 14 and 16 piece sets have graphite shafted woods and driver.

The wedges are not overly workable, so you won’t feel as though you can get spin and a lot of control, but you will get forgiveness. While the driver was also fairly whippy for a regular flex shaft, it was also a big bonus for the beginner with this set. The putter is a standard blade style putter that is forgiving and a good option for distance control.
