What GolfWRXers are saying about women’s golf sets
In our forums, our members have been discussing women’s golf sets after WRXer ‘txgolfer45’ asked for suggestions. ‘Txgolfer45’ is looking for clubs in the $400 to $600 range for his wife – and our members have been sharing their best picks.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Golf64: “Got my wife an older F Max set for $900 Canadian. Has everything she needs. Tour Edge would be my choice for your budget OP.”
- sheppy335: “I know it will kill people here, but I bought my daughter who was a beginner 2 season ago, a box set at Dick sporting good of Top flights. It was a nice setup with a bag and all. I traded in clubs to get it. So it was free, as she has progressed I have updated her clubs slowly. I did this since I wasn’t sure she would stick with it; she is now trying out for her golf team. If she didn’t stick with it, even if I paid I would have been out 300 max.”
- JDW3: “I originally bought my girlfriend a complete set of Wilson’s to start last year. She picked it up quicker than I anticipated so I got her a Cobra F max driver and she’s picked up 30 yards with it. I’ll definitely be looking at finding a set of the F max for her to try once we can get out again.”
- WristySwing: “Tour Edge is great for the budget. If she doesn’t mind playing something used take a look at one of the newer Adams Bag set releases, I think they were called “New Idea” and came in a variety of colours. While it is impossible to predict if she will hit them well as in if she likes lighter or heavier feels etc., they are very easy to hit, have weaker lofts and hybrids down to the 6i with a driving iron kind of thing in the 7 and 8 irons IIRC. They were a hit at the store I worked at. Has all of the tech of the more modern Taylormade and Adams clubs with the velocity slots on the woods and irons too, which is nice, and I think if memory serves even came with a Yes! Putter, but that might have been an older model I was thinking of before TM took over.”

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball
Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.
While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.
“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.
“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.
“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”
Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.
It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.
