Callaway's Strata is an insanely popular set of clubs with the affirmable duo of forgiveness and distance at the forefront of its design. Intended for women who desire to hit accurate shots that go a long way, Callaway has set this set's intentions, and they strive to please. 

A top-shelf set of 10 clubs that are purposed to progress in a premium golfing style, each club has a convincing level of craftsmanship that's hard to ignore. It comes with a 14°, 460cc driver and a mallet putter with alignment lines to promote easy learning and accurate shots. 

The driver of this premium beginner set features a larger-than-most sweet spot to give you a greater head start straight off the tee. The irons come ready to breeze through the fairways with perimeter weighting and a progressive sole width to improve your control when up against the rough. 

Callaway have labelled this impressive 10-club set as having full course coverage to allow you a certain confidence in your clubs in all conditions. Designed to help men gain distance to the green and bring about the kind of head-turning fairway action of their golfing dreams. 

Cobra Golf is firmly cemented at the top of the golfing pack, producing premium golfing equipment since the '70s. The King junior set features seven clubs: a driver, fairway wood, hybrid, 7 and 9 irons, and a blade putter. 

Built purposefully for junior players aged 7 - 9 years, this set will see your children starting their golfing career with their best foot forward. Shafts are all graphite, making them light and comfortable for the kids, in addition to the driver having a workable 13° loft. 

Another popular set from the acclaimed, mid-range brand Wilson, the XD series is designed with left-handed men in mind. The driver, wood and hybrid are graphite in construction, while the irons and putter are equipped with heavier set steel shafts. 

Ideal for both beginners and improvers to gain skills in every aspect of their golf game. The high launch technology of the 5 hybrids replace the need for long-range irons and ensures a good distance from each swing to the green. The dual shoulder strap of the carry bag will also save your back on those long 18-hole days.

With a total of 10 clubs, the Ultra series by Wilson is a unisex set of clubs that offer forgiveness while also going the distance. This mission statement shines through with a complete graphite set (minus the putter), in addition to the driver having a low loft at 10.5° for maximum teeing potential.

The putter is also of the blade variety, which is purposed for golfers who fancy their intuition on the green. Put faith in the iconic Wilson brand for a progression focused game. 

A left-handed golf set for the ladies, this set of clubs is performance-driven, ready to take on the complex game of golf. The driver, putter and woods are equipped with graphite shafts for a light and easy swing, while the driver's loft sits at 13° for assured teeing times. 

The irons and sand wedge have steel shafts and feature an undercut cavity, creating a low centre of gravity and an improved launch. The steel ultimately makes the irons heavier, which may not suit all women but will help gain distance.

The M8 golf club set is a clear step in the premium direction with a plush golf bag including seven dedicated pockets, a velour-lined pocket for valuables and an insulated cooler pocket. This dedication to the bag gives a tip-off that the clubs will be of decent quality too. 

It comes ready to take on any hole with a total of 12 clubs to give you great swinging scope for any predicament that might present itself. Only note of concern is the irons having graphite instead of steel shafts, limiting men wanting extra drive on the fairway. 

A commendably stacked set with 11 thoughtfully put together clubs for women of the fairways. The inclusion of two hybrid woods allows women to gain distance on the fairway with a certain distance covering confidence from the get-go. 

The graphite shafts have been built with a softer flex for the ladies to make them forgiving in swing. A decent first set of clubs, however it must be known that the set is lacking in reviews and ratings, giving it a question mark when compared to the more established sets on this list. 

The Challenger golf set is intended for girls of 13 -16 years. A great first set of clubs that will see them through their progressive years without being outgrown. As Longridge state, this is a beginner to intermediate junior set.

Graphite shafts on all the clubs ensure they'll be light to use and built for longevity. With six clubs in total, it's a good first set but could use a pitching wedge and a couple more irons as your daughter begins to improve. The driver loft hasn't been stated, which is a shame, but you'd imagine it'd be up around the 12° - 14° for easy connection.  

This junior golf set by Inesis is specially designed for enthusiastic young golfers. Consisting of a driver, 7/8 iron, 9/PW and a mallet putter instructs this is a junior set intent on providing good coverage with the least amount of clubs possible. 

The club heads are light in construction with widened soles for ease of use. Designed for all juniors ranging from 8 - 10 years or 1.25m to 1.4m in height. The shafts are constructed from 80% fibreglass/20% carbon fibre to decrease the club's weight, but in turn, it reduces the strength as well.
