I liked that the hybrids launched the ball within a very reasonable window – they got it up in the air but I didn’t have to worry about ballooning. The Rife RX5 golf club set would be a good choice for players who are still learning the basics of the game. In our testing we thought the star performer was the driver. Not only does it look great but we found it popped the ball in the air nicely with an aggressive ball flight. It also wasn't spinning up and losing distance either. The irons have an oversized profile with a healthy undercut. This helps them launch the ball high and the long blade length provides a lot of lateral forgiveness. When Guerin Rife founded Rife, it was a US-based company. Today, it is unclear where Rife golf clubs are manufactured.

The hybrids are a nice bridge between the fairway wood and the large irons. They are exceptionally forgiving and produce a mid trajectory. What makes this one of the best women’s golf sets is that the included putter includes the Stroke Lab shaft. The fang design, coupled with the Stroke Lab technology, is aimed to help you with tempo and consistency and our tested loved it, especially in the blue finish. Speaking in more general terms, we were very impressed with the performance on offer throughout the set because we found the clubs to be easy to launch and very forgiving, two aspects which beginners will love. We also think these clubs look superb because the grey finish on the crown of the metalwoods combines with the small flash of green throughout.Quite honestly, we weren’t expecting much. The Rife RX2 clubs are rather unheralded and they don’t look like anything to write home about at first glance. Streamline shaping adds to more speed, and the Aerojet features a highly streamlined, very symmetric, and very low-drag seamless aerodynamic design, adapted to deliver faster clubhead speed for enhanced distance performance. There's room to add to the set, specifically in the wedges department, and the putter leaves a lot to be desired, so replacing that with one of the best cheap putters on the market would complete this excellent value set.

Golf is a great and fulfilling game but what wards people away from it is the typically high price for a complete set of golf clubs. Some may find the solution in cobbling together a set made up of individual, non-matching clubs. They built on their putter’s success by branching out into golf apparel, accessories and other clubs. The oversized irons will be especially helpful for beginners as the irons are typically the hardest clubs to master. While you don’t get much in the way of short game workability or spin control, we’d be willing to bet that most beginners won’t really notice.Obviously there are different sets at different price points so it is worth thinking about whether you want to spend more or less here. This point also links with what comes in the set because the sets that come with bags, headcovers and so on, usually come with a higher price.
