Is this set good for a beginner?

Not ideal. Forged players' irons have a small sweet spot and reward consistent ball striking. Beginners usually do better with a forgiving cast cavity-back set.

What clubs are included?

Six clubs: 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 irons plus a pitching wedge. There is no gap wedge, sand wedge or long iron below the 5.

Which shaft and flex should I pick?

Steel in regular or extra-stiff suits stronger, faster swings; graphite in ladies or regular flex helps slower swing speeds and players with joint pain. Match flex to your swing speed, not age.

How does forged compare with cast irons?

Forged heads are softer and more workable but less forgiving. Cast irons are harder-feeling but more stable on off-center hits.

Can I bend these irons for lie angle?

Forged heads are generally easier for a clubfitter to adjust than cast heads, but have a qualified fitter check loft and lie before bending.

Is this the same as Callaway's other forged irons?

It is a distinct forged model in the lineup. Compare head shape, offset and shaft options against Callaway's players-distance and game-improvement irons before choosing.
