"This is the best packaged set I've ever, ever tested."
Rick Shiels Golf · 3.06M subs · Oct 2025 · Stix x Nicklaus Compete
Premium clubs at half the price of the other guys.
The no-gimmicks upgrade for golfers who've outgrown their first set. MyGolfSpy Most Wanted. Rave-reviewed by Rick Shiels.
Specs only matter if you feel them. These you'll feel.
Three upgrades from the original Perform you'll feel on the second range bucket.
Sweet spot 20% bigger. Cleaner sound.
Carbon-fiber crown saves weight — redistributed lower and deeper for higher launch and more forgiveness. The titanium sweet spot is 20% larger than the original Perform driver.
Higher launch. Maximum forgiveness.
We relocated the iron CG low and deep — easier launch on every iron, especially the long irons most golfers struggle to get airborne. Off-center hits stay playable: bigger cavity, progressive offset, 2.5mm face. A toe miss on a 7-iron still finds the front of the green.
Real putter. Not a throw-in.
The MyGolfSpy Most Wanted putter head — the same one shipped on our $1,499 Compete 14 — comes standard on every Stix tier. 17-4 stainless. Most sets in this price band ship a 220g afterthought.
The reviewers who matter — on Stix.
"The best player's distance iron for accuracy is a surprise — Stix Golf Compete Hollow Body."

You won't outgrow these in a year.
P02 sits intentionally between a starter set and a tournament bag. The new carbon-crown driver keeps the ball in play as your swing speed comes up. The 17-4 SS Deep Cavity irons — with the CG dropped low and deep — stay forgiving on the bad days as your swing gets repeatable. The C01 Mallet 2 putter, the same head shipped in our $1,499 Compete 14, isn't going anywhere when you start chasing scores.
You won't feel under-equipped on day one. You won't outgrow it on day 365.
What you're choosing between.
Two budget package sets — built for the beginner you used to be.
Strata Plus 14-piece is Callaway's $599 entry kit at PGA Tour Superstore — value-grade components, factory-assembled to a price, outgrown or replaced quickly. Callaway Edge is the Costco member-only equivalent, openly positioned for first-time golfers. Both are first-bag economics: bought cheap, swapped out fast — not the bag you grow into.
Same MyGolfSpy putter head as our $1,499 Compete 14, on every Stix tier. Built for the upgrade — not the 18-month replacement.
TaylorMade's only adult complete set, at retail.
RBZ 2.0 is TaylorMade's single adult complete-set offering as of May 2026 — the sub-$1,000 mid-market tier they used to compete in is gone. Pricing runs higher for less clubs than ours because they're protecting retail-channel margins.
Stix's entire lineup ($699–$1,499) covers what TaylorMade now sells in one $1,399 bundle. P02 lands $400 below it with more clubs and full customization.
MSRPs and channel verified as of May 6, 2026. Pricing references publicly stated retail at taylormadegolf.com, golfdiscount.com, and pgatoursuperstore.com.
