One of the many unexpected effects of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the number of people who have taken up golf. As lifestyles have changed, so the appeal of the game has grown and with it, the number of players in search of golf clubs. If you fall into this category, and don’t want to invest in the different areas of the bag individually, then one of your options is to go for a package set like this one from Cleveland Golf.
Let’s start with what you get for your money. In total there are 10 clubs comprising of a 10.5˚ driver, 3-wood, 4-hybrid, 6-SW irons and putter. The woods and putter all have headcovers and there is a smart stand bag as well. For the majority of people starting out in the game, this is more than enough to get going and the composition of the set makes sense from a distance-gapping perspective too.

The performance impressed me just as much. I tested this set with regular, graphite shafts (which would not be my usual spec) and found iron shots incredibly easy to flight. There was plenty of distance too – for example, my average carry distance with the 7-iron was 175 yards (which would be up there with my own fitted set of Mizuno JPX 919 Forged irons). Just as importantly, the distance gaps were bang on. My launch monitor testing showed around 10 yards between irons (which also suggests there is good consistency in terms of ball striking to be had here too).
