A final issue - albeit much less significant than the putter - is that the two hybrids in this set are fitted with steel shafts rather than traditional graphite. It is worth noting that we tested the men's version of the Strata set but we have also tested the Strata Ultimate Titanium Women's Set as well. Not by a lot, possibly by 5-10%, but that may turn your 200-yard drive into a 210 – 220 yard drive, so this is worth considering. But we can balance that out really with the fact that this is a ridiculously affordable set of golf clubs. Unlike drivers there’s generally a bit more variation when it comes to the size of 3 wood heads, and we’d say that the Strata 3 wood is on the larger side.

The Fairway woods are again oversized creating great forgiveness and create long, high flying shots. Along with the driver and 3-wood featured in the last two sets, the Tour set comes with an additional 5-wood and 4-hybrid.The 5-hybrid also provides you with a forgiving alternative to long irons, making these shots off the fairway and long par 3s a little easier. Although we can’t tell you that these will feel like the Apex or the Rogue ST irons, they certainly don’t feel like budget beginner golf clubs. The hybrids were decent to hit off the tee, but we struggled out of the fairway or rough due to the lack of flex. I can’t speak to how good they are, because I really don’t know enough and don’t have much to compare them to.

Precise face milling is designed for better accuracy and distance control to help you sink more putts.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. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. The clubs will travel different trajectories and distances when hit well, but to begin with, most beginner golfers won’t notice a consistent difference between their 6 and 7 iron.

Here are some things to consider about the performance differences between these sets, as well as whether or not either one would be a good option for your game. We were also hugely impressed with the putter - generous head size and soft grip gave a fantastic sense of feel. 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). The new 2024 Ventus features new Velocore + technology, but where will it fit in the brand's shaft lineup? This is obviously another cost saving measure and, while it doesn't hinder the experience as much as the putter, it's not ideal.Just few extra key strokes and a warning from my credit card company due to three transactions that had the same amount. Beginner golfers often want more clubs, but from my experience, you’ll not see too much difference in distance between your irons and hybrids until you reach a 24-20 handicap stage and can strike 8/10 shots well. It’s hard to carry these clubs quite as far as you can carry top of the line technology, and this likely has to do with clubhead design and cheaper materials in the shaft and clubhead.
