If you are a beginner golfer looking to kit yourself out from a standing start, then one of your options is to invest in a package set. This means you’ll get everything you need for the course (barring, shoes, balls and tees) in one purchase. Of course, prices for the best golf club sets vary drastically from the likes of the TaylorMade RBZ SpeedLite package set at the top end to the Confidence set shown here.
Aimed at beginner players, this has the sort of affordable price-tag that will appeal to many who are dipping their toe in to see whether a lasting interest in the game remains. We wanted to see what you get for your money, so we took the Confidence Power III hybrid set to the London Club to find out. The video below provides an insight into the performance.
The good news is the composition of the set makes perfect sense. You get a 460cc driver, a 24˚ hybrid, 6-iron to sand wedge and a putter. For those just starting out in the game, this should be just about enough to prevent you having any major distance gaps in your line-up. You also get a smart, compact carry bag that has just about enough storage to carry what you’ll need with you on the course.

The confidence-inspiring address profile is the same in the irons. There is plenty of space between the heel and the toe of the face so this should help you get the club on the ball more consistently. The soles are fairly thick and the cavity backs are quite deep – this should help the launch and forgiveness. In my testing, the irons lacked feel and whilst not up there with the most forgiving irons, I did hit some good shots with them.

One thing to point out is that the shaft lengths are slightly shorter than…
