It’s gotta be tough to break into the golf market as an unknown name, but there is a need for products like this.
However, as a new golfer without much knowledge I’d probably consider the two extra clubs from Stix and the slightly lower price the better deal. Knowing what I currently know, I’d likely choose the Tour Edge set. The only other difference, makeup wise, is that Tour Edge includes two hybrids instead of one (at the expense of a 5 iron). The Stix set contains a gap wedge and lob wedge. If I was buying them I doubt I’d spend the extra $125 on the bag, but it certainly simplifies things for a beginner and still keeps it under that threshold at $925.įor comparison, the Tour Edge HL4 To-Go set comes in right at $1000. I think keeping it under $1000 is important, as numbers like that can be a mental hurdle for some (probably me included). $800 for a 14 club set is tough to beat with even used clubs that aren’t super old, but doesn’t send the message that the clubs are cheap junk. Personally, I think this is right in the sweet spot. More information on Stix is available at The Details Stix offers multiple configurations that will suit your playing needs, all while giving you clubs that will surely catch the eye of your playing partners. Sure, it can be expensive to have the most recent club technology and the flashy clubs, but it doesn’t have to be. After my pleasant experience with their complete box set, I can certainly see the appeal. If you happen to notice their ads, they have caused some legitimate excitement. We currently have plans to continue to provide any product that belongs in or on a bag.”Īs a young brand, Stix has been aggressive with their social media marketing. As always, we will listen to our customers, and if there is demand for us to continue to diversify, we will take on that challenge. For our target demographic, this is a unique offering, and I also think it’s an area where the big brands are backing off. Our results have shown that we are primarily a set company. “I think box sets are currently a great opportunity for us. Therefore, we asked the Stix team about their growth factor with this type of product. As with pretty much every dark finished iron and wedge, time will tell.īox sets might not carry with them the highest regards when it comes to core golfers. Stix mentioned increased durability on the finish, and so far, the only finish blemish I have seen is on the SW, where the red scoring line has bled over a bit. There was an instant comfort with these wedges, and it didn’t matter if I was trying to hit the ball high with a lob or a low bump and run.

When moving to the wedges, they offered consistent spin that on full swings with the 56° exceeded 10,000 RPM.
These irons were easy to hit throughout the set, launched with ease and provided some strong yardages. My first swing of that 7-iron on a Foresight GC2 yielded a shot that carried 168 yards, launching at 20°, and had some low spin at 4440 RPM, but still descending at a sharp enough angle. Their loft structure is anything but consistent, with some gaps being 3° and others being 6°, and at 28°, their 7-iron is strong. Having that dark finish on these irons gives them a sleek look. I’ve already mentioned it, but my favorite part of this 14-piece set was the irons and wedges. We are told that this will be five times more durable than the PVD used in the initial release. One of the updates that Stix has mentioned for this updated version is a more durable finish. Completing the look is a black graphite shaft and grip, both of which employ just a simple Stix logo. Those red scoring lines didn’t make it over to the woods, but they do have a rather simplistic red alignment dot on the two-tone crown. To me, that made these clubs pretty easy to square up when getting ready to hit a shot. Speaking of the irons and wedges, I fancied that the bottom scoring line is red. I’ve always been a sucker for black irons and wedges, and this product is eye-catching in the bag. Instead, we get an utterly blacked-out look that, to my eye, comes across looking nice. There are no flashy colors or badges throughout this makeup. Upon unboxing, it was pretty evident that the Stix design philosophy was a bit understated. When the opportunity came to play and review the newest 14-piece set from Stix, there was a high level of intrigue not only to see how they performed but how much of a value they indeed offered. Instead of going out and buying individual components, one can purchase a set and have a matching set of clubs throughout the bag without breaking the bank. Box sets have often offered tremendous value to the golfer looking for a one-stop-shop experience.
