Callaway Strata 12-Piece Golf Set vs Callaway Strata Ultimate 2019 16-Piece Set

The Strata 12-piece is the safer pick for most men starting out: a right-handed, regular-flex set with steel and graphite shafts, a 460cc driver and a 5 hybrid, rated 4.3 from 180 owners. The Strata Ultimate 16-piece is listed as a women's set with ladies-flex graphite shafts and a titanium driver, so it only fits a specific golfer despite the higher 4.4 rating from just 45 ratings. Neither set is adjustable, and both are built for forgiveness over workability. Buy the 12-piece for a standard men's build; buy the Ultimate only if you need ladies flex and want the extra clubs.

• Choose the Strata 12-piece if you are a right-handed man with a regular swing speed who wants a complete, ready-to-play set with a stand bag.
• Choose the Strata Ultimate 16-piece if you need ladies-flex graphite shafts and want more clubs, including a titanium driver, in the bag.
