Stix Golf set: 14 pieces and a bag. Great customer service.
I bought a complete set of Stix Golf sticks + bag for about ±1500€, which is considerably more expensive than in dollars, due to import taxes and shipping cost.
My impressions:
- customization: you can order right/left handed, 3 different shaft flexibilities and 5 club lengths
- set is complete: a good Driver, 5 and 3-Wood, Hybrid, and 3 wedges, 5-9 Irons, Pitch & Putter (which I particularly like)
- the Bag is of good quality: a thermal isolation pocket (for drinks), several compartiments, it certainly looks the part.
- excellent customer-service: I damaged 2 clubs (my Driver and 7i) by hitting a pole and a tree. Carbon shafts are light but fragile: woops. I re-ordered a Driver through their website but was unable to find a replacement 7i… which they shipped free-of-charge without any questions asked!? Might not be their standard policy: maybe they felt sorry for me :-). Regardless: an impressive gesture. Shows they care.
- initial reviews lamented the easy scratching of the black finish (which prompted Stix to release irons with chrome heads). Granted, the Driver and Woods look gorgeous in their black finish, but it is true that they scratch easily. I don’t really mind, as it doesn’t change function and all clubs will wear out eventually.
- I am a beginning golfer (handicap 36 after 2 years), so no expert by any means. But these clubs instill confidence, they feel balanced and a perfect fit for me.
Overall: I am very happy with the gear and buying experience. Customer support is impressive.
