Will this women’s golf package set help your game? Callaway REVA Complete Set Review

We review the the Callaway REVA package set to see if it will help you with distance and accuracy.

Spending thousands of pounds on golf equipment when you’re just starting to play isn’t going to be an option for everyone. That’s why Callaway have put together a more affordable option for beginner lady golfers, or even ladies wanting an upgrade from a smaller starter set. 

Callaway are one of the leading brands when it comes to ladies’ golf equipment, known for their forgiving designs, regularly creating some of the best ladies’ irons and best ladies’ drivers on the market. The REVA 11-piece package set is no exception, having been designed with the ultimate combination of distance and forgiveness in mind.  

The set includes a driver, 3-wood, two hybrids (5 and 6), irons 7-9, a pitching wedge, sand wedge, Odyssey putter and cart bag. Headcovers for the woods, hybrids, and putter are also included. 

Whilst this set may not rival Callaway’s higher end ladies’ ranges, the Big Bertha REVA or the Paradym Ai Smoke MAX, it really is one of the best package sets for lady golfers looking for a complete equipment set-up, without compromising on quality. 

Initial thoughts 

I was pleasantly surprised by the look of the Callaway REVA package set. All of the clubs look very sleek, feature a modern monochrome design, and don’t automatically scream ‘ladies clubs’ which I really liked. For a long time, golf clubs aimed at women were often given pink or purple colour-ways, which doesn’t always appeal to the majority of lady golfers. Callaway have ensured that this package set is neutral, and suitable for all ages and abilities. 

I particularly liked the look of the driver and woods, which feature a smooth teardrop shaped crown, and a large club face which Callaway say has been engineered for ultimate forgiveness. 

All the clubs felt fairly light to hold at first, and I thought they would be easy to swing, and I was shocked to see the putter that came with the set was a standard Odyssey model, not something that had been made specifically for this package set. 

Driver 

The Callaway REVA driver looked great behind the ball at address. The high contrast graphics on the clubface filled me with confidence standing on the tee, almost amplifying the sweet spot to the naked eye. I also really liked the white and grey accents on the rear of the crown. They not only helped the driver to ‘pop’ against the green of the grass, but they also helped me with alignment, and getting the clubhead square behind the ball and my intended target. The driver was easy to hit, and I didn’t feel like I had to work much to get the ball in the air.  

As someone who plays with regular flex shafts, I was unsure how much the ladies flex was going to affect the launch of the ball, and if it would have much impact on the distance of my drives. I found it had a slightly higher launch than my current 12.5o driver, despite being the same loft, which is to be expected from the more flexible ladies’ specification shaft that comes with this package set. I did struggle a little with distance and dispersion with the Callaway REVA driver, as the shaft was slightly too flexible for my swing speed. Although, with the launch I achieved from the driver, I could feel how the combination of the ladies’ flex shaft and the fixed head weight would benefit any lady golfer with a slower swing speed. 

Fairway Wood 

The Callaway REVA package set comes with one fairway wood, a 3-wood with 20o of loft. This is ideal for lady golfers needing a bit of help to get the ball in the air from fairway lies, and it really did perform well for me. 

Looking down on the club at address, the white highlights on the clubface helped enlarge its overall appearance, giving me confidence that it would be easy to hit. I got great height on the shots I hit from the fairway, and even more so from tee shots where the ball was raised slightly on the tee. The club felt solid at impact, and due to the weight of the head on a lighter ladies’ specification shaft, I felt it was really easy to get through the ball, almost as if the club was doing the work for me. 

I struggled slightly with dispersion, just like with the driver, but this is only due to my swing speed being a little too fast for the shaft in the fairway wood. 

Hybrids 

The hybrids included in the package set are 5 and 6, which offer two different lofts for a variety of shots. Just like the driver and the fairway wood, the hybrids look nice behind the ball at address, with the white lines covering the clubface accentuating the sweet spot size for extra confidence. 

I found both clubs easy to hit, with the club head’s weight helping get the golf ball up into the air quickly. This gave me a lovely high shot shape due to the low center of gravity that Callaway engineered into this package set.  

Irons 

The REVA irons were a little different to what I’m used to from a club head shape point of view, with their offset face which is a classic Callaway feature. The cavity back design allows for a much larger sweet spot on the clubface, which in turn helps the irons to be very forgiving on mishits. The top edge of the club is quite thick to look down at, which did help my feeling of confidence stood over the ball, as I knew there was plenty of weight in the club that was going to help me get the ball airborne. 

Similarly to the woods and hybrids, the heads of the irons felt fairly heavy when used with the W flex shafts, which is not something I’m used to. However, this weight helped me to hit through the ball really well, and the iron shots I hit from the fairways got up and into the air with ease. The only area I struggled with them was chipping around the greens, as I didn’t feel they provided much precision. 

The only thing I missed here was the longer irons, as the set joes from a 7-iron to a hybrid, with nothing in between to fill the gap.

Putter 

The Odyssey Stroke Lab putter included in this set was the package’s highlight for me. Callaway have included the standard high-end stock model here, which is designed to offer maximum forgiveness on the greens. The White Hot face insert felt incredibly soft when I hit putts, and there was a noticeable improvement in how much roll I got on the golf ball compared to my current putter. I was sinking more putts, that’s for sure!

I usually play with an Odyssey 2-ball, but after playing a couple of rounds with the #7 women’s putter, I’m seriously considering putting one in my bag. 

Bag 

I really liked the cart bag that comes with the REVA package set. It didn’t feel as if it was lacking quality in comparison to some of the best golf bags that you can purchase individually, and is a simple yet stylish design, available in either a black and grey colour-way or a blue. It had more than enough pockets and storage space to hold my golf balls, waterproof jacket, and all the drinks and snacks needed for my round. The 14-way club divider ensured that every club had its own slot in the top of the golf bag, and the material and padding felt robust and hard wearing.  

Final Verdict 

Overall, I was fairly impressed with the REVA package set from Callaway. Whilst the set covers a wide range of clubs, which should be suitable for most shots on the golf course, I did feel it was missing a longer iron and another fairway wood. Jumping from a 7-iron to a hybrid leaves a bit of a gap for me personally, and for women wanting a set that they can use as they learn, the addition of a longer iron may help grow their shot selection as their game improves. 

I did like the feel of both the woods and the irons, and had the shaft been a regular flex I think I would have had a much tighter shot dispersion. 

After using this set, I can see how it appeals to a wide range of women, and I think it would be ideal for both absolute beginners, as well as those trying to improve their game. 

Also consider

If you’re looking for a package set at a lower price point, or a set that includes all 14 clubs, take a look at the MacGregor DCT3000. If you’re looking for a complete starter package, then the Cobra Golf Fly XL Package Set is a great buy, and it’s designed specifically for beginners.
