Callaway Golf XR Complete Set

Had a set of MacGregors for 25 years. I sucked with them, but had fun, so I kept playing with them. Since I hadn't played in the last 8-9 years I decided to donate them. Well, the golf bug kept biting me. We moved to a new house, and on a whim I posted on the neighborhood Facebook page asking if there was anyone who played and would want to get out. I figured if I drummed up enough interest, I would buy a new set. The response was so good I pulled the trigger and started shopping. I saw other sets that were beginner sets, but reviews weren't great. I came across these XR's, read the reviews that said they were designed for beginner to intermediate, and that the driver and woods were very forgiving, and lord knows I need alot of forgiving.The clubs are a bit pricey if you're used to $400-$500 sets. These were at $1600 with the sales tax.So, about the clubs... 12 clubs in the set, all left handed, all with regular flex graphite shafts, standard length. Driver (45.5" shaft), 3 wood (43" shaft), 4&5 hybrid, 6-9 irons, pitching and approach (gap) and sand wedge, and a mallet type Odyssey putter (the only club with a steel shaft). I'm 5'7" and the club lengths were perfect. It all comes in a very stylish looking stand bag, that included a rain cover and shoulder straps.Took them to a toptracer range that measures everything from ball speed to flight trajectory to distance, and you can see it all on a monitor like you see them do when you watch the pros on TV. Very cool.Took the driver out first, expecting to hit a nasty slice (I wanted to get it out of the way). My first shot was a rocket off the club. Straight, true, and LONG! It carried over 200 yards before hitting the ground and rolling an additional 40 yards. I thought it was a fluke, so I hit it again. Same result. In fact, I hit about 50 balls with the driver, and other than a few unplanned fades and draws, it was straight off the clubhead. 3 wood, same thing. Hybrids and irons, all straight. Didn't try the wedges and putter cause I didn't feel the need to. If they do what the other clubs did, my wife is going to be a golf widow very soon. I use a slower swing, but not a full swing, probably about ¾ and still got the results I did. I can't wait to get out on the course. Hopefully I get the same results.I highly, highly recommend this set!!! I'm glad I got them! If you can afford it in your budget, it's a no brainer. Don't get the new furniture or appliance. Work with your old one and get these clubs!UPDATE*Took them out on the course... GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY! Straight to slight fades and draws with the driver, straight launch with the 3 wood, irons and wedges are all phenomenal, putter is still a work in progress, but that's me more so than the putter. Hybrids are good off the tee, can't use them good yet in fairway shots. I bought a TaylorMade Stealth 4 iron to use when I'm in deep vegetation and want distance. Longest iron set comes with is a 6. Good at getting out of rough, but I wanted something to give me more distance without sending the ball into orbit, hence the 4 iron.All in all, great set! Haven't had any of the issues of breakage that I've seen some people complain about. My only nit is the driver is not adjustable, like I see they are online for sale. Does it matter? Absolutely not. My game has improved tremendously with these clubs, I highly highly recommend this set!!!

Best clubs ive ever purchased and worth it. I would recommend these to anyone that is serious about getting better.

It came missing the driver but gets five stars because they partially refunded me for the missing club and the rest of the clubs have been great!

The set was great, I’ve only used it once though and the extendable legs collapsed and can no longer bear the weight of the bag and clubs. For this price I think that’s crazy. Otherwise the clubs are great, the bag is nice but the extendable legs buckle under the weight.

Awesome clubs. I hit each club longer and with less effort. I subbed out the carry bag for a cart bag. But, just because I don’t carry. It’s a minor change.

The clubs are tremendous, but the bag feels a little cheap. Overall, the clubs are worth it. I don't have an issue with the product; it's only the seller. I have been in a month-long battle just trying to get the clubs I ordered and paid for. The description says complete set, and it only came with half the clubs listed in the description. When I contacted them, they asked me to send them a picture of the box I received. After I sent them a picture of the box, they told me they couldn't determine if the box had been tampered with and said to contact Callaway as they ship it directly from them. Callaway says to contact Amazon, but Amazon tells me to contact the shipper, and the shipper tells me to contact Callaway. I received these clubs on Sep. 18th and am still waiting for the ordered items or a refund. If you want to buy these, save yourself and order directly from the Callaway website or in a physical store.

GREAT SET! WELL WORTHE THE $$$$.
