![]() They could use a bit more padding / sturdiness and certainly more width as they are so tight coming on and off clubs. Firstly, the head covers which I mentioned above. I have very little in the way of criticism for these clubs and it really boils down to two issues only. The five hybrid from this set felt like a $300 club. For this category and price point I’d say they are best-in-class. If you blind-folded me and put the five hybrid in my hand, I would have guessed it was the latest and greatest from a top tier manufacturer. When I’m 245 in the fairway all day, I’m not going to be complaining. The Stix driver did seem pretty darn forgiving though, and that’s really what you should be after in this category anyway. It’s not going to top the brand new releases from the big names, but when struck well you won’t be too far behind either. Like the irons, I’d say the Driver distance was ample. I’ve seen other package sets have crumby, tingy sounding fairway woods and hybrids, but these had exceptional feel. The set’s driver and woods felt solid at impact. I was pleasantly surprised by just how well I hit them for the first time right out of the box. I don’t think I missed any shots severely right or left – even on less than perfect contact. While they’re not the longest I’ve ever hit, they were consistent and had enough pop that I felt I got a bit of a helping hand. Stix Golf irons are super easy to hit and very accurate.ĭistance on my irons was more than serviceable. ![]() Whether off the fairway on a tight lie or out of the rough, I had no problem getting a lot of club on the ball and having a great feel at impact. The irons get up in the air effortlessly. Likely the easiest clubs I’ve ever hit, period. Without hesitation I can tell you that the Stix golf clubs i tested were the easiest package set of clubs I’ve ever hit. In fact, I’d recommend just planning on getting some aftermarket ones from Amazon or your local golf shop in advance. The good news is head covers are cheap and easy to replace. The putter cover didn’t attach securely and I actually ended up losing it during the first round I played. They were a bit flimsy and super tight and I had trouble putting them on and taking them off. The one place I’ll ding these Stix Golf clubs for in terms of build quality is the head covers. To be honest, it might even beat out the current bag I’ve been using which cost about 1/5th of the entire Stix set. The zippers and pockets provided everything I need and it had a rain cover included. The stand and backpack straps feel super sturdy. The bag itself is not a cheap one either. It’s not quite a mallet and it’s not a blade, it’s something in between, and I think that’s a stroke of genius by the Stix team as it will be a great starter putter for most. For my taste it had perfect balance and beautiful milling on the face. The star of the show though, just may be the putter. My shots on the range during warmup quickly confirmed what my eyes were telling me. But with the Stix, I felt like they were just as high quality with the irons. I think I was most surprised by the build quality on the woods, since this is where many manufacturers seem to skimp and cheapen the build quality. ![]() It’s nice to have 3 wedges included in a packaged set for sure – tip of the cap to the Stix team for that. The wedges are equally as stunning and look like they punch well above their weight. In terms of build quality, the irons look great with a slight offset to them.
