Wilson

- “SGI” in the product name stands for “Super Game Improvement”
- Very similar to Callaway & Tour Edge in terms of looks & aesthetics (bright colors)

Driver
Robin Golf
455cc | 10.5°
- Titanium driver with Robin Proprietary Graphite Shaft (men's stiff)
- Large sweet spot that offers extra forgiveness on mis-hits
- Thin titanium face that helps trampoline the ball into the air
- Adjustable weights on the sole of the clubhead can be moved to help promote a draw or fade ball flight (no other driver reviewed has this level of adjustability)
- Shaft flexibility is on the more flexible side of a men's stiff, more reasonable for the target of beginners & casual players
Wilson
460cc | 10.5°
- Driver with graphite shaft
- Standard driver head with no bells or whistles
- Feel isn’t great off of the clubface: when you hit a bad one it hurts your hands!
- Some companies that make cheaper beginners sets need to cut corners in terms of technology to do it -- Wilson definitely did that with its driver
Fairway Wood
Robin Golf
3 Wood (15°)
- Robin Proprietary Graphite Shaft (Men's Stiff)
- Sleek design and is very easy to hit, whether off the ground or a tee
- Significant weighting behind the club that helps hoist the ball into the air, which is important for beginners
- The sound and feel of this club is unmatched by its competitors
Wilson
5 Wood (21°)
- Graphite shaft
- Decent club, but it still feels “clunky” off the face -- almost hollow-sounding
- Loft is also particularly high considering there is a ~10.5° gap between the driver and the fairway wood
- A 3-wood would have been the better option for this set
Hybrid
Robin Golf
3 Hybrid (20°)
- One of the best clubs in this review
- Sleek design allows players to get the ball up and out of tough situations with ease
- Similar to their 3 wood, Robin's hybrid has extra weight strategically placed behind the club that helps hoist the ball into the air: whether you're digging it out of the rough or sweeping it off the fairway
Wilson
5 Hybrid (25°)
Graphite Shaft
- 5-iron replacement with a steel shaft
- A steel shaft isn’t ideal for these types of clubs
- The clubhead feels “clunky” and dull off the face when you hit it
Irons
Robin Golf
5 Iron (26°) | 7 Iron (32°) | 9 Iron (40°)
- Slight cavity-back with rubber inserts behind the sweet spot, which serve to dampen vibrations and reduce the impact shock on joints/hands when hitting the ball -- as a result, the feel of the Robin irons was unmatched by any competitor
- Robin's irons are slightly offset, which means the clubface sits slightly behind the hosel -- this forgiving feature delays the clubface coming through at impact, which will help beginners square the clubface up when they make contact with the ball and help them hit the ball higher
Wilson
6 Iron (30°) | 7 Iron (34°) | 8 Iron (38°) | 9 Iron (42°)
- Standard game improvement irons
- Slightly offset, which means that the leading edge of the iron sits back from the shaft
- This helps the beginner do two things:
1. Gives them more time to square the clubface up in the downswing, which helps them hit straighter shots
2. Promotes a higher ball flight, which always helps a beginner -- or any player, for that matter
Wedges
Robin Golf
Sand Wedge (56°) & Pitching Wedge (45°)
- Robin's sand wedge differs in design from their pitching wedge, offering a bit more playability than the rest of the irons in the set -- this is because the clubhead isn't offset and is easier to "open up" to hit higher shots around the greens
- A great starter set of wedges that any beginner can use to improve their short game
Wilson
Sand Wedge (54°) & Pitching Wedge (46°)
- Sand wedge is built differently than the other irons (as it should be)
- Sane wedge is still a game improvement club, but the bounce at the bottom of the club allows beginners to open the face up and hit higher shots around the green if they want
Putter
Robin Golf
Newport 2 Style Putter (34")
- Classic: a standard Newport-style blade putter, 34 inches in length -- very similar to the putterhead Tiger Woods has used throughout his entire career
- All-black aesthetic makes this club look extra stealthy, asmost putters come with a standard silver metallic shaft, not one that is blacked-out
- Putter also comes with a premium leather headcover with a plush interior and magnetic closing that will prevent it from being scuffed or damaged for years
Wilson
"Fang" Style Putter (35")
- Different shape from the rest of the putters reviewed which could make alignment easier for some beginners
- No putter cover included, which makes it difficult to keep it from being scratched and dented over time
Bag
Robin Golf
Slim & Minimalistic Stand Bag
5 Dividers | 5 Pockets
- The best bag we reviewed from an aesthetic and usability standpoint
- All-black with a thin, sleek design similar to the popular Stitch golf brand
- The most minimalistic and visually pleasing bag of the sets reviewed
- Large leather pockets on either side to add to the premium feel, along with two smaller zipper pockets for valuables
- Super lightweight: the whole set together isn't taxing to carry for 36 -- or even 54 -- holes!
Wilson
Standard Stand Bag
5 Dividers | 5 Pockets
- Valuables pocket, clothes & accessories pockets (2), and a pocket for balls & tees
- One mesh beverage pocket
A bad drive into the forest sounds like an adventure
