Since I still love the game, I finally decided that I wanted to invest in a nicer set of clubs. I went to a pro shop and got measured. The man who ended up helping me suggested I try women’s clubs. So I tried a few different brands and immediately fell in love with Callaway. The slightly shorter club (I figured out that men’s clubs are too long for me) plus the technology that Callaway uses made every shot feel effortless. The only problem was the price tag. Most higher end golf club brands sell mostly iron sets. Then you have to invest in drivers and a putter yourself. Callaway irons for women run around $500+, add on to it $200 per driver plus a putter and things start to add up.

So I searched the internet and found Callaway’s latest GEM set. I think I can confidently say that for women there is not a better deal on the market. You get a COMPLETE set of Callaway golf clubs for about $600 bucks. And don’t think that you’re getting less than stellar clubs either. Yes, there are only 8 clubs plus a putter. But here’s the thing: if they’re the right clubs, that’s all women NEED. With my RAM set I NEVER used my 4 or 5 iron when playing. They don’t give a lot of lift (like I would opt for the 6 on a fairway) and I can hit much farther just using my 5 wood off a tee. This set basically strips away all the superfluous clubs and gives women the ones that they will actually play with. I took this set out to play for the first time today and I used every single club. A first in my playing history.

So I highly recommend this set. Obviously, if you are a professional you would have different requirements. But if you are like me and you’re just a novice-intermediate player who enjoys the game, get this set of clubs.

One more side note: my only qualm about buying these clubs was that they only come in that blue color. I’m not a very “frilly” person and I was worried that they might be a little too baby blue looking. But they’re not. The clubs are a beautiful darker blue and the case looks like more of a true blue in real life compared to how it’s photographed.

I am a regular golfer who usually hits in the low 90s except those exceptionally hard courses which makes you lose your ball per every slice.

This club has replaced my 3 iron and I regularly hit it around 185-195 yards with great deal of accuracy. Just as with 3 iron, you can hit the ball in a thick grass without worrying about “thinning” the ball as you would with a wood.

If you, like many golfers, have problems with your 3 iron, and almost never use it, try this gem of a hybrid. You will probably be happy that you did.

If I were to be critical of any aspect of this set I’d refer to the the 3 and 5 woods, the 3 & 4 hybrids, and the lack of a sand or lob wedge. Also, there are no head covers included. I’ve found that in my game that I rarely use either the 3 or the 5 woods, but that may be attributable to my skill level and the courses that I frequent. I’d never played with hybrids until I purchased this set and personally I’ve had trouble getting used to them. They’re great from the fairway, but I can’t discern any difference in loft or distance between the 3 or 4. One hybrid would probably be enough, so I might swap the other with a regular 3-iron. Finally, I’ve found that I use the p-wedge more than any other club except for my putter, whether it be from the box at a par 3 hole, within certain sight of the green, or even out of a trap. The addition of a lobber or a sand wedge would help a lot with getting more loft within lower yardages of the green.

After reviewing the previous paragraph I realize it seems like a lot of negatives, but I’ll reiterate that this set is great for starters or intermediate players. Even after playing quite a bit the clubs show very little signs of wear. The Winn grips look and feel fantastic. And, since I’ve been playing with this set my game has improved. Some of it has been more practice, but I love the feel of these clubs, I’ve enjoyed experimenting with the hybrids, and it’s caused me to explore additional clubs and accessories in hopes of shaving a few strokes.

Finally, as the previous reviewer suggested, look around for a deal. I actually got my set brand new for $150 and I’m confident that I’d be hard pressed to find the same value and quality in similarly priced clubs from knock-offs or lesser known brands.

It has optimum pocket set-up for carrying just enough and it’s easy to grab things from any out of them. There’s a water bottle slot, scorecard slot, marker and pencil slots, an outside ball silo for 3 balls and a lot more without being gaudy looking. What’s great is the new grab handle on the top of the bag just on the back of the putter well (a very nice feature too) that allows for a very convenient place to grab the bag as it slides off your shoulder to set it down. It’s like Titleist or Sun Mountain’s, which looked handy to use, but works even better! The top, besides the putter well, also has the coolest thing called the Woode top. It separates the wood shafts into 4 individual compartments (but not with those stupid plastic tubes) and then there are 3 big areas for the irons too.

It rates about as perfect of a score as any product can. I also have an OGIO Syncro cart bag that has so many of the same features. They are really well made, functional, and sharp looking. I think one would be foolish not to at least look at one before buying another bag. They’re excellent!!
