Beginner here - how is this compared to the Callaway Edge Series? I have been using used golf clubs for 2 yrs now and thought of getting a decent set. The used gold set comprises of Nike, Wilson & Mcgregor.

The Edge are better. These have quite a few complaints.

Did you read all the 1 star complaints? If you remove 1 star complaints about Costco delivery and return issues. There is 2 legit 1/2/3 star reviews/complaints vs 22 5/4 star reviews. Most of the reviews didn't even leave a review.

That math doesn't math. Plus Costco return policy is better than anyone's.

These certainly seem to be bottom tier, and if you wait (who knows how long) for the $499 Kirkland irons to appear again, you will be getting much more value for your money than the $200 price difference. So keep playing with the oldies and hope the Kirklands are being mass produced so you can get some.

For beginners, I was told that the Callaway Edge irons are much more forgiving than the Kirkland irons. Because I'm new to the game (started last fall), I was told to hold on to my Edge clubs until I get good enough for the clubs to make a difference, but the Edge clubs are as good as I'm going to get as a beginner. I was told this by my golf coach and the PGA Store guy who I was chatting up to see if I should buy a better set of clubs. The PGA store guy saw me swing on the simulator, and his opinion was that the clubs are not going to improve my suckiness. =)

If I could start my club buying journey again to maximize the best bang for the buck, here's what I would do:
1. Go to a club shop and use their simulators to get an idea of my average swing speed. Use online swing speed vs. shaft flex charts to get an idea of what stiffness of shaft I should be playing.
2. Using the online PING color code chart (free online), I would measure my wrist to floor and height to figure out approx. what length of iron and lie I need.
3. Search on ebay/pro shop/garage sale and find a used set of clubs based on those stats.
4. Get lessons and practice with that set until I can consistently shoot in the 70's/80's.
5. Once I hit that metric, I would look at investing into a quality set (used or new).

I'm tried many "beginner sets" and to be honest, the quality across the board isn't all that great. The feel and build quality is good enough to get a ball in the air but thats where it ends. A young player in the their teens/20's with a very high swing speed isn't going to utilize the clubs the same way as a player with a much slower swing speed. Most beginner sets have pretty flexible shafts (also low quality) which can cause shots to inadvertently go right or left because of how it kicks. This might teach a player to swing a certain way which may actually be far from optimal to what they really should be doing ie. learning a bad swing which can take a long time to fix. Its better to start with a solid built used set that's made for your approx. swing speed and body dimensions than a box set that is made for "everyone". It won't be an exact science when you start off, but at least you can groove your swing with clubs that aren't far off to where they will eventually end up in a few years when you actually learn to flush the ball correctly.

lol c'mon - many of us here will NEVER shoot in the 70s, no matter how much practice we do.

I bought the Edge set (RH stiff) last month or so. had them extended 2 inches (I'm 6 foot 4). I last played golf in 2014-2015. after 2 trips to driving range with the new clubs, I played 9 holes last month. 1 par and never over a double bogey. 100% endorse the Edge set. YMMV

LoL, I hear ya! What I've realized is that hitting the 70's is tough but its made much tougher by the fact that players concentrate wayyy too much on pure distance and raw swing speed. Accuracy/consistency and short game shots are so much more crucial than going long drive champ but the vast majority focus on outdriving their buddies or the guy in front of you (I'm guilty as well from time to time). Its only useful if that drive flies to the intended spot and who am I kidding, at 100% speed going all out, I'm hitting like 1 outta 6 to 10 fairways. At 300+ yards off the tee into the woods left or right, I'm way worst off than a 200-250 yard drive from the clean fairway.

To get from mid/low 80's and hit the 70's usually just takes smarter play and better decision making on the course (which you can't effectively learn on a driving range unless you practice with a purpose and know what you're lacking).

kirkland irons if they're truly TaylorMade 790 replicas are not exactly beginner friendly. edge is solid if you wanna spend the 500+ at Costco. personally for a beginner I would recommend just buying used, like from Facebook marketplace. I just picked up a sim2max driver for 125 bucks, and callaway rogue st max iron set for 450 literally yesterday. 575 for this setup is way better than any of this stuff, and depending on budget restrictions you can easily get much cheaper.

Yep, exactly this! When you're just starting, its silly to overspend before you learn the basics and groove a consistent swing. Some of the best scratch golfers and single digit handicaps I know are using 10-15 year old clubs in the bag.

Steel shafts on the irons.
I'd get something with all graphite shafts.
Edge are a great deal and probably perfect for a beginner - I use them and I've been playing for 15 yrs.

I was not a beginner, but I got a set because of price point. Callaway Edge is the best starter set period. I used them for a summer and they will be perfect for someone getting started.
