Callaway Ladies Reva Package Set Review
Golf Monthly called the Reva "the Aston Martin of women's package sets," and that framing is a genuinely useful way to think about it: this is a complete 11-piece set built with real Callaway technology and a full-size Odyssey putter, priced well above most beginner package sets to match.
Multiple independent reviewers tested this set and came away impressed with how it performs, not just how it looks. The honest tension worth understanding before you buy is price: this sits closer to premium individual-club territory than a typical starter set, and it’s worth being clear-eyed about whether that premium suits your situation.
- An 11-piece set: driver, 3-wood, 5 and 6 hybrids, 7-9 irons, pitching and sand wedge, a genuine Odyssey putter, cart bag and five headcovers
- High-lofted driver with a fixed weight screw specifically engineered for higher launch, well suited to beginners and slower swing speeds
- Neutral, monochrome styling deliberately avoids the "shrink it and pink it" approach some women's equipment ranges still take
- Genuinely premium price point, and reviewers are upfront that you're paying for real technology and components, not just a starter kit
The Short Version
- Multiple independent reviewers rate the driver and hybrids as genuinely forgiving and confidence-inspiring, describing it among the best beginner-suited ladies’ clubs available.
- The included putter is a standard, full Odyssey model rather than a package-specific budget putter, a detail more than one reviewer specifically called out as a pleasant surprise.
- At least one experienced tester with a faster-than-average swing speed found dispersion issues with the ladies-flex fairway wood shaft, worth knowing if you don’t fit the typical beginner swing profile this set is built around.
- This is a genuinely premium-priced package set. If budget matters more than premium components, cheaper ladies’ package sets exist in the same catalogue.

How it performs
The driver is where reviewers consistently start, and for good reason. It carries a high loft with a fixed weight screw specifically engineered to boost launch, and testers describe the ball coming off the face powerfully with a satisfying sound, calling it one of the better beginner-suited drivers for ladies on the market. A large, circular target-style sweet spot marking on the face gives a genuine visual confidence boost at address, functioning as both alignment aid and reassurance for newer golfers.
The 3-wood and 5/6 hybrids follow the same forgiving, easy-launch philosophy, with a low centre of gravity and teardrop-shaped crown that testers found genuinely easy to get airborne. One experienced reviewer, testing outside her usual regular-flex comfort zone, did note some dispersion trouble specifically with the fairway wood, attributing it directly to her swing speed being faster than the ladies-flex shaft was designed for, a useful, honest data point about who this set actually suits best, rather than a flaw in the club itself.
A detail multiple reviewers single out is the putter: rather than a generic, package-specific model, the Reva includes a genuine, full Odyssey putter, the same brand widely regarded as a benchmark in putting technology. That’s a real, tangible sign of where the premium price is going, and it’s not something typically found in package sets at any price point below this one. The neutral, monochrome design across the whole set was also specifically praised for avoiding dated, overly feminine styling conventions in women’s golf equipment.

- Neutral, modern styling that avoids dated ‘shrink it and pink it’ conventions
- Complete package including cart bag and headcovers for all woods
- Genuinely premium price for a package set, closer to individual premium club pricing than a typical beginner starter kit
- At least one experienced tester with a faster swing speed found dispersion issues with the ladies-flex fairway wood shaft

- The premium justifies itself through components like the Odyssey putter, but only if you’d otherwise be buying those pieces separately
Want to spend less? Other ladies' package sets in this range
The Reva sits at the very top of the ladies' package set market on price. If that's more than you want to spend, a couple of options in the same catalogue are worth comparing directly.
- Wilson Ladies Linear XD: an 11-piece set with a cart bag at a meaningfully lower price, a sensible like-for-like comparison in piece count.
- Cobra Ladies FLY XL 2: another complete 11-piece set, priced between the Wilson and the Callaway.
Neither includes a genuine branded putter the way the Reva does, but they’re worth knowing about if budget is the deciding factor. Comparing every ladies’ set on the market? Our ladies’ golf set roundup covers Wilson, Cobra and the rest alongside Callaway.
Want to Spend Less? The Wilson Linear XD Is Worth a Look
If the Reva’s price is more than you want to spend, Wilson’s Ladies Linear XD is a complete 11-piece set with a cart bag at a meaningfully lower price. You give up the genuine Odyssey putter and Callaway’s specific driver technology, but you get a genuinely complete set for a fraction of the cost.

How We Compiled This Review
We haven’t played this set ourselves, so rather than fake a hands-on account, we built this review from independent testing published across the golf media, checked against Callaway’s own published specifications.
-
Cross-checked expert reviews
Read and cross-checked reviews from Golf Monthly, Today’s Golfer and Golf Insider UK, including Golf Monthly’s direct head-to-head comparison against the Callaway XR set.
-
Checked fit-related feedback specifically
Looked for tester feedback on shaft fit and swing speed suitability, not just first-impression looks and feel.
-
Noted where driver loft figures differed slightly between sources
Reviews cited slightly different driver loft figures depending on the set version tested; we’ve presented this honestly as a range rather than picking one number to sound more precise than our sources support.
-
Verified against Callaway specs
Checked every technical spec against Callaway’s official product documentation.
Where a tester’s swing speed didn’t match the set’s intended fit, we’ve included that finding directly rather than only presenting the flattering average experience.
What to Check Before You Buy
This set is built around ladies-flex shafts for newer or slower-swinging golfers. Faster swingers may find the shafts limiting, per at least one experienced tester.
A genuine branded putter is a meaningful part of this set’s premium. If you’d want to buy one separately anyway, that changes the value equation.
The Wilson Ladies Linear XD and Cobra Ladies FLY XL 2 both cost meaningfully less in the same catalogue.
Confirm the Peach/Surf colourway and cart bag configuration suit your preference before ordering.
