Stix Golf Complete Set (14-Piece)
Golf clubs have traditionally come in two main categories: cheap sets that lack performance, and a la carte sets from the usual big names that cost a lot of money. Stix is aiming to offer something in between. Their 14-piece set has everything one needs to get going, including a 10.5º, 460cc titanium driver, 3 and 5 woods, a 21º hybrid 4 iron, and every club from there on down, including 5-9 irons, PW, GW, SW, LW, and a mallet-shaped putter. The irons and wedges have a durable scratch-resistant coating, and the entire set uses black graphite shafts that match the minimalist black and grey aesthetic of the grips, clubheads, and included stand bag. Most importantly, the entire set can be had for under $1,000, making it ideal for beginners, casual players, or someone who wants to look good on the course without a huge outlay of cash. 25% Off for Black Friday & Cyber Monday (ending on November 29th)
