Stix vs. Robin
Golf Clubs
If you’re shopping for a sleek, affordable, complete golf club set, chances are you’ve come across both Stix Golf and Robin Golf.
Even here at Stix, we’ll admit the similarities are striking:
- Both Stix and Robin are taking on the major golf brands by making clubs more affordable and easier to buy.
- Both offer complete sets with bags and covers, so you can spend less time shopping and more time golfing.
- Both feel modern and make bold design and quality claims.
But there are key differences you should know. Here, we’ll compare Stix golf club sets with Robin’s regarding options, features, price, quality, and more.
Sure, we’re biased to prefer Stix, but you can fact-check us on any claim.
Robin Golf claims that new golfers need just nine clubs. While that’s true in the early days, offering only nine clubs locks out a lot of players.
If you’re anything other than a complete beginner, you’ll quickly find a use for 11 or even 14 clubs.
That’s why at Stix, we offer more options. Need to fill gaps in your bag or try out Stix without committing to a full set? Pick up an individual club, a 3-piece or a 9-piece set.
We also keep our Stix Stand Bag and headcovers optional with sets. If you want both, get them at a discount. We’ll never force you to buy accessories you don’t need.

Golf Set Options Winner: StixNot everyone is in the market for a 9-piece club set with a bag and headcovers. That shouldn’t stop you from getting a quality, sleek-looking set at an affordable price. |

Before we compare the 9-piece sets, let’s talk about fit.
Robin’s clubs are one-size-fits-all. Their women’s set is shorter with a softer flex. Their men’s clubs are longer with a stiffer flex.
Stix lets you customize the length and shaft flexibility on any set with just a click. Why does that matter? Clubs that fit your height, build, and swing speed allow you to play to the best of your ability.
Robin says length and flex don’t really matter. We say, if you’re spending $800 on a set of clubs, you deserve better than off-the-rack.
With Stix, you can get clubs in the right flex, closely tailored to your height. So you’re not stooping or stretching. So your swing is more powerful and your aim more accurate.
Not sure what flex or length you need? See the FAQs below or chat with us for advice. Stix clubs are easy to customize and you get 30 days to try the fit.

“The option to select your height is a massive plus. Taller golfers just getting into the game don’t really have any real options out there to find a full set of clubs catered to them, but Stix checks that box by offering up to 1-inch added for golfers on the taller side. They also offer shorter clubs, so these full sets are also an extremely viable option for any junior golfers or shorter golfers out there looking to get into the game.”

"Changing to senior shafts was the right thing to do. I'm hitting the ball straighter and further than I was with my Taylor Mades. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Stixs."
"These are my second set of clubs and my 1st “custom” length club set. I am 6’5” and had trouble with the standard length shafts and I already feel more comfortable with these clubs. They are sleek and I’ve already been asked what clubs I have. Completely satisfied with these clubs!"
"Got the +.5” 12 piece set and it’s been great. Way cheaper than a fitting and I’m definitely a casual golfer and new to the sport so these were exactly what I was looking for. I really like the consistency of feel across the board that all the clubs in my set have the same style grip, balance, club face and flex. Very helpful for someone who is trying to minimize variables and improve. Looking forward to seeing what other gear comes out this year."
Need anything other than a 9-piece golf club set? Robin isn’t for you. That’s their one offer. And whether you like it or not, Robin’s set comes with the Robin golf bag.

How does Stix feel compared to Robin? Which clubs better compensate for imperfect hits?
Forgiveness isn’t as clear cut as fit. You’ve got to try the clubs to know for sure.
We can tell you that Stix clubs are intentionally designed with lofts, weighting and balance that make long and straight shots easier to hit.
HERE’S HOW STIX GETS THE EDGE ON FORGIVENESS:
VS
- Stix includes 8 clubs with graphite shafts. Robin includes only 3 and the rest are steel. Graphite shafts are much lighter, which means it’s easier to accelerate and hit with max power.
- The club head of the Stix driver is crafted from titanium, which lets us increase the size of the sweet spot without adding weight. Robin’s is steel.
- Stix features a Wood with a higher loft (5W). Robin’s Fairway Wood (3W) is very tricky to hit for most players.
- Stix features a larger size mallet style putter, which makes it more forgiving than a blade style like Robin’s.
- The Stix putter includes an oversize grip, where Robin’s is standard. Oversize grips improve putting accuracy.
- Stix clubs include built-in weighting and balance for peak performance right out of the box. Robin adds adjustable weights and bolts to the outside of the clubs, but you’ll spend more time guessing than playing.

“I'm a relatively new golfer (about a year into it). I bought a starter set and ran with that for a while. Then I bought a nice driver. Then I bought this Stix set.
The clubs look really nice, which was what drew me to them originally (nice IG ads, btw). I took them out to the range last weekend and I'm really impressed with how they hit. I felt more control in the swing and none of the wonky stuff that I would see with my starter clubs… Exactly as advertised.
“I am absolutely in love with these clubs. After seeing stix on one of my social media’s I was waiting until Rick Shiels gave them the green light for beginners like myself. They are lighter in weight than my hand me downs giving me better swing speed and longer distance. They are beautiful in appearance and I am constantly getting asked about them. Cannot wait to play more courses with these.”
“I’m a pretty beginner player and they are easy to hit far and pretty straight!”
“This is the first set of new clubs I have ever purchased...I love the look of the club's...super sexy in all black. Have not had issues yet with losing shine. All black design is super cool. I have picked up a good 10 to 15 yards on all of my drives with driver and irons. Overall very happy and the price was very good in comparison to other sets.”
"I'm still figuring out this game and have been using a hand me down set for a long time. It feels much better to keep learning with these slick looking Stix!"
"I’m definitely a casual golfer and new to the sport so these were exactly what I was looking for. I really like the consistency of feel across the board that all the clubs in my set have the same style grip, balance, club face and flex. Very helpful for someone who is trying to minimize variables and improve."
"After going from 15-year old hand me downs to these, it is a night and day difference. Being a casual golfer these clubs are super forgiving and the coolest looking clubs I've seen. I love how the people at Stix didn't try to re-invent the wheel at an affordable price, best purchase I've made in a while!"
"I ordered Stix based on youtube reviews by GM Golf and Rick Shiels. I recently started playing again after a layoff of 15 years. My previous set was Honma and the technology was antiquated. After hitting balls on the range and playing twice with this set, I can tell you they feel great… The Irons are good looking and easy to hit. The driver and fairway metals feel premium. My favorite from the set is the Putter, well balanced with a soft feel. Really pleased with Stix."
The Robin 9-Piece Golf Club Set comes with the bag price built in with no option to purchase it separately. Let’s see how theirs stacks up to the Stix golf bag.

"Yesterday I received the golf bag. All I can say is awesome. I Love the way it looks and it is super light. I am 63 and could easily walk the course with the lightweight bag and clubs. The clubs are also fantastic. I am hitting the ball better and love the look of them."
"I got my bag last week, and it is very well made, lots of extra room, and the handles and straps fit very well ergonomically. Plus, it looks really cool. I highly recommend this bag. Great bang for the buck."
"I’ve been needing a carry bag and the Stix bag is among the best in quality. But what really makes it better than all of the rest is the Value. Stix isn’t over pricing this bag, instead they are making it more accessible at every turn. Stix is changing how people view golf and this bag is just another example of that. 5 Stars without a shadow of a doubt."
"The design and quality of the bag are amazing for the pricing. Would definitely recommend to new and veteran golfers. Thank you Stix!"
"I love this golf bag! Everything is really well thought out, plenty of storage and it really looks great. The straps are comfortable and i love the color!"
"Best decision ever! Love all the 14 clubs and the bag. Now just waiting for my clubs cover and I’ll be all set 🏌🏻♀️ Thank you Stix 👍 It was worth the wait!"
"Beautiful looking bag! Plenty of compartments! Enough room to hide some beer! 🍻"
Both Stix and Robin claim quality on par with far pricier brands. Robin specifically says, “Built to the same standards as top-tier brands. Same manufacturers, same materials.”
With both Stix and Robin you get a risk-free trial period. Check out the materials and quality yourself on the course, then decide.
Robin and Stix clubs are both all black. But the design similarities end there.
Regularly described as “the coolest clubs I’ve seen”, Stix features modern, minimalist, clean lines. Reviewers call Stix clubs “stealth” because when you show up on the course, no one can tell you paid under $1k.
Robin clubs are more technical looking, with features like external weights and bolts that won’t make a difference for average and beginner players.
Look better, play better with Stix.

Instructors and advanced golf players rave about Stix, too.
Compared to Robin, Stix clubs are also designed with more forgiveness built in. You’ll love how easy it is to hit faster, farther and with more accuracy.
These are clubs that golfers of all ages and abilities say are a joy to swing.

“I am new to the game and am just learning and I took my set to the range today and my golf pro was very complimentary and said that I had made a great choice. He tried them out and said I made an excellent choice"
"I bought this set because i am learning golf but didn’t want to buy cheap clubs and really didn’t want used clubs either. I did a lot of homework and then pulled the trigger. I’m so glad I did. The clubs are great, my instructor told me they are fantastic and I can grow with them and not be in deep if I didn’t stick with it."
"“These were my second set of golf clubs, I’m learning but I’m feeling ready for some play. I saw the reviews and purchased them and even my golf instructor was very surprised. He said that they feel great and look amazing! I feel the same way!"
"These clubs have exceeded my expectations. They are working perfectly for me, a beginner. Some of my more experienced golf buddies gave these a rip and were very impressed. They arrived undamaged and in great condition. Even after a few games already they are holding up nicely and still look new."
"I wanted a good beginner set that could last me while I learn how to play golf… Even though my swing needs some work the clubs are great. They look sick and my golfer friends hit them like they cost 3x as much. Would recommend. The stix team has also been very helpful. THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!!"
"As someone relatively new to golf, this set is awesome and hits the mark on everything from look, style, feel, performance etc. A few friends tested them out (more avid golfers than myself) and also had nothing but good things to say about the whole set of clubs from performance to how cool the all black look is. Support team was also awesome throughout the whole process. Overall great experience thus far."
