In this video PGA Golf Professional Rick Shiels puts the Callaway Golf EDGE golf clubs to the test on the golf course and compares the driver to the brand new Callaway Mavrik driver.
You have probably heard of the TaylorMade Golf SIM driver, the Titleist Golf TS1 driver, the Titleist Golf Pro V1, the Cobra Golf SZ driver but have you ever heard of the Callaway Golf EDGE package set?
You won't see any golfers on The European Tour or The PGA Tour using the Callaway EDGE golf clubs. However in this video you will find out how good they actually are considering they are so much cheaper than other clubs on the market.

Hi I'm Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This UA-cam channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes "gimmicky" golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.

In February of 2020 I stumbled across a used (like new) set being sold on the Callaway website of their Edge club set. I took a chance and purchased them to replace my older Big Bertha clubs. Upon arrival the clubs appeared not to be "like new" but seemed to be entirely new! I played with them about twice a week since that time and they have worked very well for me until this past week when my driver head started to separate and was unusable. I was disappointed but discovered that there was a 12 month warranty on these used clubs. I called Callaway today but learned they had no Edge drivers available to replace my broken stick. However, Callaway impressed me again by agreeing to replace the driver with a "good" condition Epic Flash Sub Zero driver that, when new, cost more than my entire Edge set. Their customer support and service have made me a Callaway guy for life!
Very similar experience with calaway when I broke my rouge driver about a month ago they replaced it with the new rouge st seeing how they didn’t have my driver to replace hands down some of the best costumer service out
That's how customer service should be, all other companies should take note.... Fantastic result well done pal 👌🏽
I love when companies are like this
Wow if they replaced something broken for free or even 40.00s I would be happy. Customer service is dead an that is incredible to hear this.
It’s actually brilliant marketing. Lots of people want to pick up a cheap set to start with, like for a first golf tournament. This gets you into the Callaway ecosystem. Not everyone but some will either slowly upgrade to their more expensive clubs or will replace the entire set with more expensive ones. Plus selling them at the big C takes some of the the fear of going to a golf shop when in your mind you think you suck and don’t belong there.
I've been using this set for about 6 months and I love them. Perfect for me (weekend golfer) who just wanted a solid modern set of clubs.

My lovely wife bought me this years Callaway Edge 10pc set for Father's Day. After nearly two decades since I last swung a golf club, I took this set to the driving range and course and they were amazing! So much value in this set for the casual golfer. @Rick - I'm watching this video from over a year and a half ago and I would say this review still holds true today. With the pandemic, golf clubs have been hard to come by at a reasonable price.
Hi Rick I recently got back into golf after many years. My son (12yo) wanted to play and we’ve had a great summer at local course. Your videos have been fantastic - especially the series of 5 on swing basics. They made a huge difference. I just bought a set of Calloway edge clubs on your recommendation. Wow - they are amazing and have given me better shots and more confidence. In a year I suspect they’ll pay for themselves in lost balls avoided! Thanks again for all the great videos. Your channel is superb and you’re a natural at this UA-cam business. Happy golfing snd thanks again. All the best.
It's almost as if golf clubs are overpriced...
Almost? 🤣
You think this is overpriced look up the newest drivers from any company..
Jarek07 he means all other clubs are over priced
I mean, you can get last year's clubs brand new for around that price off season, so maybe?
What far worse is the snake oil bull crap golf retail stores and manufactures spew to buy the latest and greatest
We need a pro tournament where everybody is playing a set of clubs like this
Stock golf series
Like the IROC races, every player plays the same retail set of clubs, same ball.
That would be fun, lol
that's honestly a good idea. or a Tin Cup golf tournament where every player has to use a 7 iron on every shot
Reminds me of the old plastic ball only bowling tournaments.
Hi, I’m very new and just getting into golf. I just want to say thank you for this video, as I feel very clueless on what clubs to get for my journey of learning the ropes! I will keep an eye out for this set, even second hand! All the best!
I didn’t win these unfortunately Rick! But I’ve saved up and I’m getting my self some tomorrow! Thanks for the great review!
Not been to range yet!
Where did you get them at?
@@ianrobinson892 Costco
@@Jbooth96 How are they?
@@Star-fk7py good for the money! Putter is class, driver goes a bit high but you expect that, irons are solid
I bought this set on a whim 2 years ago. This was one of my biggest impulse buys, I couldn't find a single review on them once I got them home. I was worried lol. But 2 years later of playing once a week, I have no complaints and no plans to upgrade.
Charles McBride i did same as you 18 months ago. Been playing with them ever since. Never had a problem with them. They do a good job
Very good investment for both of you
Charles McBride same😂😂
Noah Elliott how you finding them?
I was looking at these OVER AND OVER again. Nobody told me to go get them or try them... EVERYEONE insisted that I go buy a set etc... I eventually WON a free set of Titleist AP1 full irons at a golf outing. However, if I saw this last year... I would have bought them asap....
So you’re telling me it’s the golfer not the golf clubs
say it isn't so. what the hell did i take out a new mortgage for then.
It's always the archer and not the arrow.
@@aaronmcleod594 Debatable... If you've cut it in half or lost a few feathers.
It really is a catch 22 50/50 type thing. Put expensive clubs in a casual players hands and they will probably shoot worse than they do with their Strata's or whatever cheaper club set they own. Now, put a set of Strata's in a Tour pro's hands, he will be able to play well but nowhere near as well as he would have played with his personal set of clubs. So, it is the clubs and not the player? Or is it the player and not the clubs? Answer is, it's a 50/50 mix of both.
Depends on if you a pro or if you an average joe....
You do fantastic reviews, very thorough and I appreciate how you actually play with the clubs. Thank you
Great call Rick! My wife just bought these for me and I love them! I gained 20-30 yards per club and very few shots hit the sweet spot. Very forgiving and they feel great! Thanks again for the awesome review.😊👍🏌🏼♂️
Should have picked up some kirkland signature balls while youre at the "mystery" store
Frank Wang lol!!! I almost bought these once instead spent 1000 bucks for ping g700s! And still had to buy driver, hybrids, putter etc! But I did try the Kirkland balls so I saved big bucks there!

This is how we get young people into golf-make some quality and affordable clubs!
Selfishly I want less people in golf. Better tee times and faster play.
Tucson Jim there needs to be a real solution. I walked off two courses last year because it was taking 30 minutes to play a hole. The new rules do nothing to help the regular golfer.
Never understood why people want to play Golf so quickly...for me part of playing golf is being with my buddies who I don't get to see often, have a couple brews on a nice Sunday.. then maybe catch the game...I mean really WHAT IS THE RUSH...I don't want to go back home, my kids are a pain in the ass..I'd play a 4 HR round if I could..
As a younger golfer (20 y/o) I can confidently say that young golfers want the newest and the most expensive clubs haha. Its not so much the performance, but the bragging rights of “oh look at my $500 driver” when ur playing a highschool/ college match.
@@djp3525 The new rules, such as leaving the flagstick in the cup, are ridiculous and really have done little to speed up the game on the local munis.
Thank you Rick for this video!! Finally was able to tind these in lefty for my Pop (took about a year lol) returning his M2 irons for this beautiful set which I know will improve his drastically due to the wood and hybrid combo. Thank you again, you're a gem
Dear Rick, 2 years ago...as a "new to the game" player...I had a 2nd hand, mixed bag. Just starting to enjoy the game, but frustrated with the clubs I had. I watched this video and bought the Edge set..and the bag. Thanks so much for the review. I am currently fighting for "par golfer" ..and honestly only a stroke(or few..) from that. These clubs are forgiving, and encourage new players like myself. Best purchase I've made. Thanks again!
lol you are not scratch after 2 years
@@Supermoneygang12 I think that's the joke...
@@Frostychild11 this is an entirely sincere comment
I can't think of anything that would grow the game better than simplifying smart affordable sets of golf clubs for people to just buy and go play. Not cheap, just essential quality sets. I love the utility and simplicity of this set!
Hi Rick.
Loved your review on the Callaway Costco clubs. I've played with Callaway for over 15 years, l think these clubs are great for the weekend golfer. Mid to high handicap. Costco have sold out of the clubs so lll wait till the new year.
Brilliant review as always. Keep doing what you do as its a honest opinion in my view. Keep up the good work..Bobby
I've watched this video loads of times, and today I finally got the set. Was insanely surprised to see them in my local costco, cannot wait to try them out.
I got some about 2 years ago. And I really like them
I’ve got this set already and been playing with them for 18 months. So glad you’ve finally reviewed them. They’ve been a really good set for me and still going strong Rick
Same here!
Rick, LOVE your channel (Never miss it) and really loved this video. I just purchased a complete "Box" set of Tour Edge Hot Launch -3's, that came with Driver, 3 and 5 woods, 4 and 5 Hybrid, 6 iron thru SW a bag and putter, and I absolutely love them. They were $799.99 US (£607), so easy to hit, and I now play with confidence again. Keep sending the love to us "financially challenged" golfers, by showing "Bang for your buck" clubs, for those of us who can't afford the latest greatest £500+ drivers. (Love the used club challenges as well)
Rick thanks so much for keeping this simple- the game, clubs, fundamentals, etc…
Golf has a stigma of being expensive, stuffy or just intimidating. There’s a lot to soak in but you help us all, beginning, intermediate, etc join and feel comfortable.
Love the club reviews and instructions! Cheers! 🍻
well said friend
These where my first clubs . Perfect starter set . I’ve used them for three seasons now and I’ve only just recently replaced the irons and the big stick . I use the 3 wood religiously . I hit it perfectly straight and about 260 every time . For course management I rarely bring out the big stick , that’s how true the 3 hits
I hit that 3 consistently every time. Completely agree with the course management. No need for the big stick. Incredible starter set
When y'all say big stick your talking about the driver, yeah?
@@brandonenke2680 yup
You had to replace your clubs after three years? What happened to them?
The fact that he doesn't just dismiss the cheap clubs and gives them a chance is great, even if they are for people just getting started they don't seem too bad
Cheap? Shit I play with a $200 top flite set I bought 10 years ago lol 😆😂🤣
@@user-rk8zw1hb2c top flite makes golf clubs?! 😂
@@Villle89 not anymore
For the weekend warrior they are perfect.
@@monkeyballs512 they still make clubs. I’m thinking of buying some soon
Glad you reviewed these ... I always see this set at Costco and wondered how they faired ... thank you
RICK!
I've had the set for 3 months...simply amazing! I hadn't seen a course in almost 10 years, and I was playing hand me down, hand me downs. Figured it was time to get a set for myself. Needless to say, these kept up with weekday players shooting Mizuno and Big Berthas! Not bad for a weekend chap!
Went to Costco to get the 2021 versions and they had quite a few in stock! So glad I did as they are a peach to play with! The bag has doubled in price too but it’s still a good quality piece! Really enjoying playing with them!
I got a set also a few days ago but all they had was the stiff flex I might need the reg flex

Done done and done 🤞🏻
Watching this a second time; Callaway must have the left and right hands doing separate things! How can they justify the Mavriks prices and then flog the edges? At a 1/4 of the prices. Madness
Did it 👍🤞
Stop by my local Costco today and there are absolutely no clubs available. Ordering them online through their website and they will provide options for stiff shafts.
You’re the man Rick thank you.
Steven Aguilera not seeing where the offer the options, it just says regular shaft on all of them on the Costco website
Just found you on UA-cam 👏 I've been waiting for someone to do this because I have always been curious on all these clubs you see on the net. Keep up the great work and honesty
Very good analysis. My guess is if you had the time to play several full rounds with the less expensive set you would adjust to the differences and the performance would be even closer to your preferred set of clubs. Nicely done.
And that rings even more true for a beginner. Most beginners are going to need a regular shaft and the extra loft on the driver. Whereas Rick is used to a stiffer shaft and less loft.
These are actually incredible for the price! this year will be my first full season of golf and I couldn't be more excited about it!
I bought this exact set, about 8 months ago and have been very pleased. I couldn’t justify getting fitted and spending thousands just to get started, as I haven’t played golf in over 8 years prior to buying this set. I might get a new driver in the future and or a different putter but I definitely don’t need to. This set allowed me to focus and on my technique and striking consistency taking out the guess work of draw versus fade versus etc etc. Sir thank you for doing this video! It confirmed exactly what I wanted to know!
I agree that if its the difference between buying clubs and starting to golf or not it is an absolute amazing offer and great set of starter clubs. That being said if you can afford it getting fitted is the single most important thing a beginner or novice level golfer can do. A good club fitting will help out a new golfer far more than it will a pro or scratch golfer as the pros can adjust their swing to whatever they are using. Whereas the novice golfer will gain loads from a club that has been fitted to their swing. Not to mention using a club that does not fit your swing can cause loads of headaches on the course. Where as being fitted snd using a club that suites you could potentially save a handful of strokes each round. And when starting out or if you have not been golfing long. A handful of strokes in a round is a huuuuuuge deal. And last but not least getting fitted and using clubs that suit your swing will allow you to gain confidence and become a far more consistent golfer much sooner than trying;g to adjust your swing to something that doesn’t necessarily fit you perfectly and will cause you to create bad habits in your swing that may become very hard to get rid of in the future because your trying to compensate. However that being said again i agree these clubs are great and if they work for you or anyone else then that is absolutely great. All im trying to say is don’t underestimate the value of a good club fitting.
After watching this and every other review of these clubs I managed to find a set in stock. I certainly haven't been disapointed! What great clubs, just want to add a 3 hybrid and some extra wedges and im done! Since getting back into golf in the summer and getting these clubs ive dropped about 10-12 shots a round from my score, might upgrade the driver to the Rogue ST Max in the future when they go on sale but I am very very pleased with the set! Thanks for the review!
I am new to the game and have decided to pick up this set. I have loved your videos. It helps keep the spark for the game alive. I can't wait to be on the course with my own clubs and your advice in my head.
I didn’t know Costco was in the UK. Have seen these clubs at Costco in the USA and have always been curious about how they were. Thanks for the video Rick!
The clubs Rick bought are the old X2 hot lineup with a different Callaway plastic insert that is labeled Edge. Great clubs, got them at Costco as my starter set.
Great review. Learning a lot from your videos. Going golfing for the first time in a couple days and your videos have me more excited than ever. Thank you.
I found my frst video of you earlier today and this will be the second time I will get to see you doing something that I see you love, GOLF. Thank you for all the info. At 83 even though I know that it would be better for me to play with cavity back clubs that are more forgiving, I still can't seem to give up on my set of PRGR irons with the pro edges. I still have my 2wood from the mid 1950s. I might try those Callaway Edges that you are showing next month when I am back in The United States to see and play with my brother (at 82 the sissy is hitting from the old man tees now). Texas here I come.
wondering if these would get me back into golf, which I am about do after over two years of being
incapacitated with leg problems, still keep the show going Rick spent hours watching
Was just thinking that, I'v been off the course for a few years myself and had to get rid of my clubs. I like the Callaway brand. Interesting..
I’m a bit late to the party but yeah I played golf when I was younger and I haven’t touched a club in maybe 7/8 years and I want to get back into it but I just don’t know if I can still play 🤔
It seems that most people on here are arguing "new tech v old tech" and while certainly that plays a large part of the cost difference, you also have to take into account the sheer buying power of the mystery shop. When the mystery shop approaches a manufacture and asks them to produce a run of say 50,000 sets of a 2 year old design with a new name, the manufacture will cut their margins to the bone, hence, low prices.
I just wanna say thank you for posting this video because with this I was able to get my dad into golf and he bought this exact set in bag from the same store that you bought them from.
Great set for someone who likes to be out on the course on the weekends with the boys, or perfect for someone who is still unsure about committing fully to golf.
I have this set! Thrilled to see that you made a video about them because I too was blown away to find a Callaway set for that cheap. Will play with these until I can justify getting more expensive clubs
Been waiting for a review of these! Finally! Great stuff, and really shows just how out-of-hand these golf prices have become.
Thanks Rick,your videos answer the questions the average golfer asks, as I do. A lot of golf gear hype produced by the manufacturers and people buy into it and for mid/high handicappers not worth it
Epic videos as always Rick. They have really helped me push my game forwards. Rob
I bought the callaway xtreme set at costco 5 or 6 years ago and still love them. I use them all the time and have had no issues with them. I can say I’m not surprised at all with the quality of their entry level sets
Great review and a real eye opener on the profit margins being enjoyed by the top equipment manufacturers. However boxed sets are set up for standard or neutral swing plane. Taller, shorter or older golfer with more upright swing planes will need custom fitting by a Pro to get the best performance from the equipment. For the standard golfer these box sets look amazing value.
Hey Rick, I’ve just taken up golf (aged 58) and my wife bought these for me as a starter set, they feel amazing - just wish I could play better!
Bought these at the beginning of the pandemic as my first set of clubs. Decided to learn golf to make the year interesting. The set has been great as I progress from an extreme beginner to a somewhat component beginner. Drivers probably the weakest point of the set and I was still able to smash over 300 yard drives with it at the range. (I know not the skill to focus on to learn, but God it's fun at the end of a session).
Where was the store where you got them?
There’s nothing wrong with learning to drive the ball well.
Thank you for always being incredibly honest and not being just like every “joe blow” decency is the key and you’ve got it. 🙏🙏🙏
Well! I have been watching your videos for little over a month now. I ordered this Exact set a week ago and I just received them this morning. 😊 I am very excited to get myself into the game. I may or may not have been driving my wife crazy talking about Golf. Haha. This Saturday I hit the Driving Range for the first time ever. 😊👍 Thank you for the videos and your contagious passion for the Sport. 🔥🔥🔥
well howd the driving range ho
I bought this set because of your video and unboxed them today and LOVE THEM! Thanks so much for the review.
Where’d you find them??
I wished I discovered you sooner…could have been a lucky winner with all of your generosity giveaways. You’re the man, Rick. I think I’ve binge watched all of your vids over the last week. Keep up the great work.
The irons are identical to the Callaway X2 hot irons from a couple years ago.
Yes, and they still have a 10 piece set on clubhousegolf.co.uk for about 600 pund
They blow them out at big box stores/online , green grass/pro-shops can’t even get them close to those prices
I curious about this set for my daughter. After watching this review - I'M BLOWN AWAY!!!
Haven't played for 20 years, looking to get back into it. Spent ages looking for affordable clubs that aren't complete trash and glad I finally stumbled across this video. Just ordered online, I guess I'll see how they go shortly.
I've been golfing for 3 years now. Had these now for 2 years. I came from a mixed bag of free clubs from 1999 like a lot of others here. When I got these, my best round was a 116 with the old clubs and my first time out with these I shot a 108 and now I am shooting a 93 best. As a beginner, having a modern set of clubs designed to compliment one another really increased my shot consistency instantly. I highly suggest buying a wedge set to go with the Edge set. I got the lazrus 3 wedge set for 117 dollars from amazon and having more than a 56 degree is extremely helpful. I also ended up putting a ping 4 iron in my bag because I was hitting the 5 hybrid so much further than the 6 iron and it ended up being a nice in between. I can only think of 3 'faults' with the set but being a budget beginners set, they don't take away from the actual clubs. The grips aren't very great. They get the job done but they don't feel amazing and the tape they use in the grooves for the design will start to peel off after taking them out 3 times. The bottom of the driver gets scratched really easily. I have so many white lines under my driver from the tee's rubbing against it. I can't clean them off for the life of me. The set comes with a 56 degree SW and I think its awful! It's so chunky and big and round on the sole that it is very difficult to get into the grass and under the ball. A lot of bouncing off the ground and sculling. Even my seasoned friends were having issues with it so that is how I ended up with a wedge set and will never look back.
I had a set of “Edge” irons years back. At that time, the name was being used by AMF-Head (better known for tennis). I don’t believe they stayed in the golf-clubs business very long... because I lost my 7-iron and never found a replacement. Damn shame, too; got my first ace with that 7-iron!
You should do a video on when to get new clubs! I've been rocking my set of irons for over ten years, and I'm not sure how (or why) to get new ones, but I feel like I should
They are at Costco. I went to Costco today in Coventry in the UK and they have them in stock for £484.99. Not currently available online but if you keep checking, they get them in stock for about 24 hours before they sell out. Costco in Coventry had about 10 sets in stock 2 hours ago.
My dad purchased these clubs from Costco in the US and he has had nothing but great things to say about them. I got him a Callaway Rogue for his birthday and he never touches it because he prefers the driver that came with the set. Callaway also owns Top Flite, and when my car got stolen last year, I picked up a $250 set in a pinch. I actually ended up liking the clubs more than I ever thought I would, the quality wasn't nearly as bad as people say.
First time I’ve made a comment, great content as always, informative and enjoyable. Keep up the great work!
Oh man, I love that you do this, I love that you question the ways of big corp (no matter what brand/product). I am also facinated with how come they can charge so much more, for the advertized and constantly brand new products, it is amazing and eye opening, convincing me further in the belief that everything is a ”simple” marketing competition. Cincerley, thank you, and keepnit up.
I read a story awhile ago where a club rep said that about 1/3 of the cost of top level clubs is to cover the loss from paying tour pros to play and promote them. He did it anonymously, of course.
I have a set of 2014 Edge clubs that came with 4,5,6 hybrid irons and 7 thru A wedge regular irons. Great clubs, wish Calloway still made a newer version of my old set.
That Edge set has been my set for 6-7 years now. I just upgraded my irons to Taylormade Stealths. However, I still have the putter, S, 5H, 3W, and D
For the average, beginner to intermediate golfer, that is a decent set for the price. Agreed.
Brilliant review. No bias. Genuine.
If I hadn't just bought a set of second hand Taylormade Tour Preferred CBs I'd have gone for some of these.
Jay S I purchased some used taylormade TP CBs last summer and I love them.
@@Degenloser69 I'm really happy with mine too. 👍🏻
Well Rick after your review of the clubs I decided to get a set of these clubs. Let me say these are more quality than most think. I swear this is a much more expensive set in disguise. Thanks fire the heads up and review.
Older tech where the R&D is already paid for, mass produced assembly with zero derivatives, no marketing needed, and -like you said- no custom options.
What's better to highlight is that these exist for golfers, not just on a budget, but as reasonable options. I have a similar set I keep for guests or for travel. Great video!
Great channel. This is the 3rd video of yours I’ve watched. I really like how you show all of your shots, and don’t edit just to show your best shots. Also a lot of really good tips on your tips videos.

Rick you make so much sense to me as a new start golfer and Great video as always
Rick you’re smashing it! Are you back on driver vs driver this year?
The extra cost on new tech is usually to cover R&D (wages cost more than production), and help fund the next round of R&D. So i would suggest that the EDGE clubs use older tech with no left over R&D costs, also all the research they already do on what players want in their bag means cost for putting this set together is very minimal, mostly just production.
Warwick Smith I had a set of callaway x2 hot irons and hybrid and they look identical to the irons and hybrid in this set
Exactly. These clubs are just the trailing technology that they still have tooling for. They won't stop producing them until it costs Calloway more to make than sell.
I was shocked how you said the 550-pound clubs were the same as the mavericks. Awesome video you are probably the best UA-camr to learn from I only just started playing golf and I have learned so much already THANK YOU SO MUCH
sorry you aren't probably the best you are the best
Very informative UA-cam videos. I really appreciate your take on equipment and accessories..
I got started with a MacGregor box set, matching white shoes and glove from Super Kmart, with my employee discount in 1996. You know, 16 year old high school student, part-time job, produce department.
I got my first set, a box set of McGregor's with woods that had a kind of red hue to them, from K Mart in 1978. Maybe $120?
MacGregor made that absolute best putters back then. I was a surgeon with the $20 blade they made.
I’ve spent way too much time looking at that set while my wife is off buying a lifetime supply of paper towels and toilet paper. Nice to see you testing them out. Great vid.
just grab em. It's always hilarious guys seem to have to give up the fun stuff because of marriage haha
@@thenickfoxx I’ve already got golf clubs. Better golf clubs. Plus, I get to have sex all the time with a hot nurse…my wife. +1 for marriage
@@johntyson What golf clubs do you use currently?
@@kronik658 Cobra SZ, but I recently scored a basically unused set of old Taylormade Burners that I’ve been using.
@@johntyson My dad uses a 2009 Taylor Made Burner Driver and tbh I like the Driver from the Edge set more. I'm not very good though so that probably impacts it, the Edge Driver is a lot more forgiving I found.
Would you recommend the regular or stiff version of this set? I'm in my mid 40's and still in relatively great shape. Thanks for the detailed review!
Rick Shiels
I saw this review 12 months ago and bought a set in Australia to see how they were. I did need to replace the set I was using anyway. They are great and I have been playing better that I have in the past. The 3 is so true and easy to hit and the putter is a great feel.
that is the quietest costco ive ever seen ahaha
Dude, you just sold hundreds of these sets for them. Great, great video!
I’ve got $2500 easily in my bag. SMH.
And probably not ONE of 'em is regular shaft...?
No one asked
I have these clubs but in Canada they’re called the x2 hot+. Absolutely love them. Hadn’t played since high school and I Wouldn’t have be able to get back into the sport if it wasn’t for these clubs.
Ah Callaways, my favorite brand and in green!!!! My favorite color. I'm only a year late. Why oh why didn't I find your channel sooner (of course I'm a lefty)? I hope they went to someone awesome.
After seeing this video I went out and got them , as a new golfer I love them .. Thanks Rick
lucky u they was sold out when i looked like a week after this video came out
I picked this set up when I got into golf last summer, I love them. I swapped out the driver and 3 wood for a callaway GBB but the irons and putter are awesome and great for a starter set of clubs.
Aubrey Chambers where can you buy them? I’m in the USA
Luke Ramey Costco has them and so does callawaypreowned.com!
Started watching your channel recently after your video on Tubes & Ange’s channel and just seen this! Unbelievable deal so straight onto Costco and they’re sold out haha! What a deal!
I’ve always assumed that package sets from big brands like this are what would have been their top end technology from 10 or so years ago. So the R&D is paid for, they still look relatively modern and they perform fairly well. They just lack the premium materials and stiffer shafts for lower handicap golfers.
My dad was a Callaway rep in the 90s I'm still playing the Hawkeye irons and a heaven wood
i've got a buddy who shoots around 80 and swears by his heavenwood 2. Great looking club and he bends some incredible shots with it. Amazing for 2nd shots when he's stuck on the wrong side of a dog leg.
Hey Rick, I have just started playing about 3 months ago, and came across your channel. Your videos have really helped me. I am now ready to buy my first set and came across this set at the mystery store in Brisbane, Australia.
Not being able to try it and not much coverage on the net was holding me back. Last week I thought to myself, how good would it be for Rick to do a review 🤔
You can imagine the smile on my face when I saw your post on Facebook yesterday.
Keep up the good work!
@Rick Shiels Golf i went and got this set and i love them easy to hit and the putter is real nice on a nice green. thanks for a great video mate keep up the great work.
Just ordered a set of these from Costco myself, I'm a complete golf beginner and I now have a little bit of hope. Thanks and subscribed
