    Great beginners set

  • +2

    That putter included is $300 on its own.

  • How does a beginner go about picking stiff, flex, graphite or steel?
    Also, I guess this doesn't come with a bag - any recommendations?

    • +3

      If you can swing a club with average speed, regular flex steel shafts would be a good starting point. Woods will generally always have graphite shafts, but in irons that is usually reserved for ladies / older players who can't generate much speed.

      As for bags - whatever suits your budget. It just holds clubs!

    • Bag depends on how you'll be playing too. If you will be hiring motorised carts or with a handpull cart, there is a cart bag that suits that. If you're fine to carry your clubs, you want one with backpack straps and usually a stand that flips out when you stop (called a stand bag. I got my brother a Titleist one recently for $150 odd)

    • +1

      On Shaft Stiffness:
      Generally, as a beginner, you shouldn't be swinging so hard that you'd require a stiff set of shafts.

      On Shaft Type:
      Generally, steel is accurate at the cost of distance while graphite has distance at the cost of accuracy.

    • Irons go steel, unless you are an elderly / very very soft swinging person. The graphite will bend too much when you swing around and will be harder to control the ball

    • As suggested by newtz, graphite shafts are regarded as being a better option for people who can't generate a lot of head speed. I'm on the margin (and getting older) so I went for graphite shafts (woods).

      Dreid mentioned the 5 hybrid wood - and yes, I find that I use it a lot. It is good. And the putter included in the set is rather nice.

      If there was one club that I'd add to the set, it would be a decent 3 or 4 iron as an alternative to the 5 hybrid. I've added that from a Facebook Marketplace listing.

      Facebook Marketplace is also where you can pick up a decent bag - but what you get might be determined by whether you play a lot (and will more likely use a trolley). I've gone for a bag with 10+ 'slots'. Bigger, heavier - but easy to use from a trolley (or mechanised cart). Otherwise a 'stand' bag as haydent suggests.

    • +3

      try marketplace, they are often given out as prizes for tournaments and come up pretty cheap. Don't buy the Callaway one at Costco, way overpriced and poor quality. My recommendation is a Stand/Carry Bag as they are light and make practicing easy.

    • Height plays a role, because physics. If you're really tall like me (195cm) stiff shafts will suit you better. That being said you'll also need longer clubs so an off the rack set won't be ideal.

      • I'm 189. Think I just scrape in for normal clubs?

        • Depends how strong you are & your swing speed. If you just play a few times per year / on lads weekends these are fine, but anyone intending to play regularly and improve their game should strongly consider getting fitted for the appropriate shaft length, flex and club head lie angle.

    • Safe bet would be regular flex steel for men, ladies flex graphite for women.

      If you're a bloke over 45 consider "A" or senior flex shafts in graphite, if you're younger than that, play any sort of sport, or maybe if you're a chippy or something - i.e. are generally somewhat fit/athletic - get stiff flex in steel.

  • +5

    I've had these clubs for 3+ years now, and they perform great for a casual player. Very forgiving, but plenty of distance. The 5h club is an absolute weapon off the fairway.

    • +1

      I've had mine for a couple of years and that 5 hybrid is the best club ever made. It just goes straight.

      • Wish I could say that!

        But yes, it is pretty easy to send the ball in the direction you intend - and if you hit it half well, it produces a lovely looking flight path - even if it often pulls the shot up a bit shorter than I'd be hoping for!

  • Why do they never have a left handed set 😭

    • +2

      "Left Handed Regular Flex Steel Iron Shafts - $699"

    • They're on sale too mate. Glad to see some love for us lefties

      • +1

        Oh they are. That's fantastic!

    • You need to visit the leftorium

  • They are great clubs, highly recommend them. Excellent beginners club, and much easier to hit than the 20-year-old clubs you're considering buying on Marketplace.
    As you play a bit more you will likely need to purchase some wedges to fill in the loft gaps.

  • Bought these a few years ago. Great set!

  • Is this good for someone 6 foot 4?

  • I'd love to 'invest' more into this sport….p790 2023 seems too high end and I don't think I'm there yet.

    Whats the transition to that or should i just commit to it ?

    I'm currently using a hand me down Wilson set.
    Thanks in advance

    • What is your handicap? If you are plateauing on score, maybe better clubs might help.

      When I was young I got to a handicap of 13 off of random hand me down clubs and ones I bought from op shops. So you have to get pretty far along id say before you need a nice set of clubs.

      Or if you are going to play multiple times a week, then maybe treat yourself to a nice set

      • Thanks. Nothing worth mentioning haha.

        Sounds like more time and practice is the go for me ! I failed on the ozb mission statement.

        • I would say that looking back I would have loved at least a consistent set of clubs to play with. I had such a mixed bag of clubs that the difference between my irons was quite a lot in both, age, style, club head size, shaft types etc. So I had to individually tailor how I would strike the ball for each club and there were definitely ones I hated because its quality was POS compared to the rest (looking at you 1980s three iron)

    • Depends where you are at. If you just started recently and still learning, dont waste money on new clubs just yet. No point buying anything if your swing is going to change and it is more important to get more consistent ball striking. An old club hit well probably won't lose as much as you think. The off centre hits might not be as bad but depends how old you wilsons are amd how you are hitting them. If you slice, you will still slice with new clubs.
      These may not be any better than the wilsons.
      Spend the money on lessons and then go straight to something you want later.
      I went from 20 year old wilsons to Srixon ZX5. I should have waited longer until after more practice and lessons but the price was too good to pass. A more game improvement iron like zx4, Qi or AI smoke would be better for me atm but i dont think this set would have been any better apart from maybe few extra metres which is irrelevant.

      • Thanks. Thats what i needed to hear . I'll disappoint ozb principles and work on my game :)

        • If anything, get a decent driver depending on what you have already. Doesnt need to be expensive. Coach said my old irons werent too bad and advised not to purchase until later but said the woods in sets usually arent too good and it was good i got something better. I only got the Wilson D9 driver on sale last year and another coach said he'd play it.

  • +1

    would be great to start and learn golf, daunting with time commitment and being generally shit at it

    • +1

      Just start at the range and have fun. As you find comfidence and consistency you get to enjoy and have a greater continuous goal.

      Alternatively, get straight on a course and figure it out and have fun - try not to lose balls, and thats a win!

    • +2

      if you have a group of three others around same skill level or starting together makes it so much less daunting and so much more fun. You get to be shit all together and slowly improve together. Half the fun is how bad your shots are.

      • Added bonus you get to piss off everyone who can break 100 stuck behind you.

        • We've never had that issue luckily, we play quickly and politely - letting any obviously quicker or smaller groups through. We normally hit the group in front of us on busy public Melbourne golf courses.

  • +1

    3, 4, 5 irons not included??

    • +2

      Nope. Includes 3 wood and 5 hybrid. Beginners should avoid low irons while learning

    • +2

      Beginners don't need those clubs

      • Are you serious? You short a drive on a par 5 but it manages to land on the fairway you'll want take 3 iron. Otherwise it might take two hits with a hybrid 5 (although I've never played with a hybrid club before).

        • +1

          You get a 3 wood in this set for par 5's. Very few beginners hitting 100+ are going to be able to cleanly hit a 3 iron.

          • +1

            @Grannular: Hmm… I'm NOT finding it easier to hit a 3 wood (from a graphite shafted Callaway ex-Costco). Vastly prefer a 3-4 iron if I'm beyond range with the Hybrid 5…

            • @lostincanberra: Pretty much. On the fairway I struggle with woods in both accuracy and range. A 3 iron isn't a ton better for me but at least I feel I have a bit more control over it

    • The 6i is 26 degrees. It's pretty much a 4/5i

  • Would something like the Mizuno BR-D2 Carry Bag be good for this set and for a minimalist, lightweight setup.

    Or any recommendation on a lightweight carry bag?

  • +2

    That's some nice pricing on these types of clubs. Could grab yourself a cheap no name bag off ebay etc or a cheap branded bag off FB market place or something. I reckon some will sell that putter off straight away, sells they pretty well, especially in good nick (being new in this case).

  • IN THE HOLE !!11!

  • Anyone know if these are available from Costco in New Zealand?

    • +1

      Quick Google brings up a FB group post for NZ Westgate Costco stocking these

  • I'm 187cm tall.. would these be fine?

  • +2

    Something to keep in mind is if you buy these, and don’t like them, you can take them back and get a full refund.

    • +1

      Plus, Callaway offer a 12 month replacement warranty on them. If they break you email the photo and details, they send you new ones. I haven't personally done this, but read of others in Australia successfully doing it.

  • These are amazing clubs. I am a beginner golfer and bought these at full price almost a year ago. Have not played heaps but feel comfortable when playing. Driver and Putter are nice and easy to use. Irons need my own game improving, but really great. Easy to hit. Will be adding a gap wedge soon. The Pitching wedge is nice, just need something slightly in between. I Cannot tell you how good these are!! Stand bags are the way to go for these as they are a perfect amount of clubs to fit one. EG: https://www.drummondgolf.com.au/tour-edge-hot-launch-5-stand…

  • These or some Wilsons? Amazon has Wilson Golf Profile SGI Complete Package Set for $650 including a bag. I used to play regularly, but it's been several years and I'm just getting back into it. My old set was Wilson.

    • These 100%. I tried a Wilsons set at a local golf shop and the putter felt heavy to me. Just for the putter alone, its worth it.

      • +3

        Heavier putter is better than light putter promote smoother stroke…

        • All depends on the player… For me the Callaway putter was a way better feel. I don't regret buying the Callaway.

    • I bought this set for $365 on sale Oct last year: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08V5F9FNK

      I know nothing about golf but a complete set for $365 was too good to pass up. You'd struggle to get a shitty old set from the Op shop for that much.

  • how competitive would a golf shop be on these e.g price match or better ?

    • Depends on the store. These sets are exclusive to Costco as Callaway made the set for them. Drummond are normally pretty good at matching similar. I did this with a golf bag.

  • +1

    Did they just go back to $899? Incognito still shows $699. Weird.

    • No. I refreshed it is still $699.00 interestingly it was for a moment.

  • +1

    I have a set of Taylor Made bubble graphite shafts from 20 years ago sitting in the shed.

    You reckon this set of steel shaft Callaways is an upgrade?
    Also, are Big Bertha's still a thing?

    I remember seeing a Callaway Big Bertha in someone's bag was very impressive at one point :)

  • Would the women's set suit my wife? She completed like 10 lessons and wants to go further into the sport.

  • Would these be any better than my current 2006 model Callaway Big Bertha set (Graphite shafts) ?

  • Could be a decent upgrade from my 2006 TaylorMade R5 XL irons.

  • The listing doesn't tell us how long any of these Clubs are. Isn't that a huge part of knowing if they'll be a good fit for you?
