   Amazon Customer – January 3, 2022

   I was looking for the first set of clubs for my five year old who has never played before. I admit I wondered if I could get by with a less expensive set and googled/read other reviews. I ultimately bought the set since reviews suggested it was higher quality and I would rather buy a higher quality set that he AND later his younger brother could use. I had a starter set as a kid and it was fine although one of the iron heads broke a year in. I think it is still expensive relative to potential alternatives but the build quality is what I would expect from callaway – just sized for a kid. I am also particularly happy with the putter and could even see myself using it in a pinch – it is made by odyssey. The bag is better than expected but not a standard size bag. It is sized for the clubs. My one complaint is that the straps aren’t that comfortable and are sized for an older child (maybe a normal 8 year old? my five year old is 85th percentile height/weight). Overall, would buy again. Amazon price was same as golf galaxy/dicks with faster shipping.

   HIIT Man Trainer – January 13, 2022

   This is a good set of clubs for a teen starting golf. The length of the irons are close to my my standard Titleist s Men’s irons, the putter is a 33” which is what I use (I am 5’9”), and the hybrid/wood/driver are too short for me. The carry bag is basically standard adult size but is very light.

   The clubs are good but there is no special tech used. The irons are cavity back game improvement irons, the hy/fw/drv are pretty standard. All the shafts are whippy as a Junior flex should be, but if your teen can crank it, get adult clubs and have them fitted by a pro. The mid-mallet putter appears to have an Odyssey White Hot insert, though it’s not branded as one. It has a nice feel and comes with a headcover that is not mentioned anywhere (see pic). The bag is cheap in both material and quality. My teen said the shoulder straps were uncomfortable compared to her old Ping bag.

   Other reviewers noted quality issues but I didn’t understand the extent until we got our set. The putter head was not aligned correctly and in a closed position so tendency is to pull the putts. The bag strap was also coming apart at the seams (see pic) and the foam cushioning is coming out. From this you can see the materials are sub par, and I will probably have to get another bag soon.

   The good news is I called Callaway and they are going to remedy the issues under warranty. This is one of the reasons to spend a little extra for a premium brand- great customer service. I’ve had good experiences with them on my own equipment in the past.

   If anything new happens I will update this review. Overall, I think it is still a good set for a younger teen who is just starting out, but not for an experienced player. Another set I would recommend is USKids TS3, but teens don’t want to use clubs that say “kids” on them.

   Exactly what you would expect from Calloway brand name product, level 2 for a 5-8 year old. My son is tall for 5 years old so it might not work for every 5 year old, and may not work for a tall 8 year old. Do not buy a cheaper no name brand, unless the golfer is really not interested and possibly will be used less than a couple times. If you are looking for a quality set to use a couple times a month at the range or on the course, do not skip on these. Great ball flight on the driver and wood, the irons seem to have an adult size surface on them but don’t feel heavy which is very forgiving. Quality bag, will not be disappointed for $300. Don’t forget to look at the “other” buying options. I bought “like new” which was a brand new bag with all the seals still on the clubs but had a scratch on the box it came in for $45 cheaper than brand new, which who cares about the box it comes in.

   When the delivery was received they were well protected. Three layers of packaging needed to be opened to get to the clubs and bag.
   Surprisingly, the Driver, Fairway Wood and Putter all came with their original protective covers. Fantastic! The kid couldn’t wait to carry them on her back for practice and said they weren’t heavy at all as she was so excited to carry them, hopefully she will be able to carry the Golf Set on her own for the whole 5 holes.

   My daughter is excited to use her new clubs, could possibly keep forever. I’m 5’7” and they feel comfortable for me. I got the largest size (62”+). All
   Clubs came individually wrapped, bag has snap-on cover to shield club heads, lightweight bag that’s easy to carry with backpack strap (I was surprised at how light it was, but it’s perfect for her and isn’t as heavy as adult bags, but still good size).
