Callaway Solaire Golf Clubs Review
Callaway is well known for producing high quality clubs, but with so many different options out there on the market, knowing which one is right for you won’t be easy. However, we are going to help you out a bit by focusing on just one line at this moment in time.
That line is the Callaway Solaire golf clubs, so what should you expect from them, and just how good are they?
Well, considering they are viewed as being one of the best sets for women available right now, it should mean that they are pretty good.

The Clubs
The set provides complete coverage for your round.
Comes as an 8-piece or 11-piece set.
Contains graphite shafts.
Suitable for players of all handicaps and abilities.
Incorporates Callaway technology into the clubs for better response.
The first thing to mention regarding the Callaway Solaire clubs is that it does come in either an 8-piece or 11-piece set.
If you go for the 8-piece, then you are looking at a driver, a 5 & 6 wood, 7&9 iron, sand wedge, and a putter as the clubs.
If you go for the 11-piece, then you get a driver, 3 wood, 5& 6 hybrid, 7-9 irons, pitching wedge, sand wedge, and a putter. Basically, there’s a bit of a difference between the two.
We love that there is this variety available. It makes it easier for you to see where your game is at, and then get a set that corresponds to the types of shots you have to play on a regular basis.
More About the Clubs
These clubs have a tendency to be very forgiving, and that is why players with a high handicap are going to be able to really benefit from having this set in their bag. Also, they do make it easier for you to hit the ball, and that’ kind of important.
You should also know that the clubs all come with a lightweight shaft. The only problem is you are going to be stuck with the shaft that comes with the set, but it’s a perfectly reasonable option, and it won’t hold you back or affect your game in a negative manner.
The main focus of the shaft in this set is to help with the launch of the ball.
Look at the driver in either set as an example.
The driver in this set is designed to reduce the level of spin you get from making contact to then help it to bound on when it lands on the fairway. This increases the distance you can achieve in more than one way, and that’s impressive.
But this approach changes when you get to the irons.
With the irons, you are looking at having some extra spin added to your shots. This is designed to offer you greater control over what happens, and that is going to change your entire approach to getting around the course.
More About How Forgiving They are
Back to the issue of how forgiving these clubs are since that’s something of interest to a lot of players.
First, don’t think that either the 8 or 11 piece set will be more forgiving than the other. This is something that stays the exact same at all times.
They both have a low COG, and they have the same level of balance and size of sweet spot on the clubs in their respective sets. Just because you have some slightly different clubs won’t change the fact that each club in the set is designed to help you with your game.
Basically, no matter which set you go for, you will be able to hit your shots with some confidence knowing the club is there to help you out.
Who is the Set for?
So who do we feel the Callaway Solaire set is best suited for? Well, we have already stated how we see this being aimed more at the mid to high handicapper, and we stand by that assessment.
The only difference is the number of clubs in the sets. The 8-piece is aimed more at the beginner as it reduces the number of clubs and helps you to concentrate more on the game.
The 11-piece set is aimed at a player who is slightly more experienced and has a better understanding of the types of shots they can play. By adding in some extra club options, it makes it easier to mess around with your shots.
In short, we feel that this set is perfect for pretty much every female golfer aside from those with a low handicap. If you do have a low handicap, then the set won’t provide you with as much variety and shot options as you will be used to.
The Pros
The set is highly forgiving and will help you out.
The set covers most shots you are likely to play on the course.
The clubs are made from high-quality materials.
The look and feel of the clubs tends to be exceptional.
The shafts are so good that you don’t even have to change them.
The Cons
If you have a low handicap, then this is not the set for you.
If you already produce a lot of spin, then the clubs may add on too much.
Overall Conclusion
There’s little doubt as to why the Callaway Solaire set has become one of the most popular sets for women on the market. Not only will it help you with your shots, but they are a joy to use.
Highly forgiving, making it easy to hit the ball, well-balanced, this set has everything you would be looking for when starting out on your golfing journey. Also, the fact that they will hang with you as you get to grips with the game itself is just an added bonus.
Callaway has made everything nice and simple with this set, and that is something that they should be congratulated on. If you are looking for the perfect opening set of golf clubs that will help you get out onto the course, then this could be the ideal solution.
