Women’s Big Bertha REVA 11 Piece Complete Set
We all want clubs that make us feel confident and help us play the best golf we can. The REVA 11-Piece Complete Set from Callaway is designed for women golfers of all skill levels who want to increase their distance, hit great shots, and get a ball onto the green in the fewest shots. However, we’d suggest they are a top choice for beginner and high handicap golfers.
This 11 piece complete offering includes Driver, 3 Wood, 5 & 6 Hybrids, 7 through 9 Irons, Pitching Wedge, Sand Wedge, Putter, Cart Bag and Headcovers – everything you need to play golf and to look the part!
Woods and hybrids
The 11 piece Callaway Reva sets come with a 13.5º, lightweight driver which is perfect for women golfers who are just starting out. It’s a forgiving, low-spin driver that promotes a high launch. This will make it easier to hit long drives off the tee and the large clubhead maximise forgiveness.
The 11 piece Reva set also comes with a 3-wood, 5-hybrid and 6-hybrid. These clubs are far more forgiving than traditional long irons and perfect for hitting second shots from the fairway or rough. The low centre of gravity and forgiving design will help you hit great shots and make it easy to get the golf ball up into the air.
Irons and wedges
The Reva set comes with 7, 8, 9-irons, a pitching wedge and sand wedge, giving you all the tools you need to play a full round of golf. The irons have a large face and deep cavity back design which makes these irons easy to hit.
The Callaway Reva set configuration, with hybrids replacing traditional long irons, and irons from the number seven all the way up to nine give you all the tools you’ll need as a golfer and maximise forgiveness.
The Reva complete set also comes with a pitching wedge and sand wedge to help you master your short game and dig yourself out from tricky situations around the greens.
The rest of the set
The 11 piece Reva complete set is topped off with a cart bag and putter. The cart bag has more than enough pockets for storage, a cooler pocket for the drinks and full-length dividers.
The putter is has a modern, face-balanced design and has some great alignment aids to help you line up your putts to the hole.
Summary – Callaway 11 piece REVA review
The Reva 11 piece complete set offers excellent all-around performance and forgiveness for women of all skill levels. They are more expensive than the Reva eight-piece set (featured below), but you get more clubs to choose from and have all the gear you’ll need for many years of great golf.
Women’s Big Bertha REVA 8 Piece Complete Set
If you love golf and you are on the lookout for premium clubs at a reasonable price, then you need to consider the new Reva 8-Piece Complete Set from Callaway. The Reva clubs are engineered with premium performance in mind, designed for women of all skill levels who want to increase their distance, maximise forgiveness and hit great shots. This set includes Driver, 5 Wood, 5 Hybrid, 7 and 9 Irons, Sand Wedge, Putter, Cart Bag and (3) Headcovers.
Woods and hybrids
Just like the 11 piece option, the eight-piece set comes with a 13.5º, lightweight driver which is perfect for beginner and high handicap golfers and promotes an easy-to-hit long drive off the tee. This makes it easier to hit great shots consistently and maximise forgiveness for any miss-hits.
The eight-piece Reva set also comes with a 5 wood and 5 hybrid (rather than the 3 wood, 5 and 6 hybrid included in the 11 piece set). The 5 wood and hybrid clubs are perfect for hitting shorter shots off the tee and for hitting second shots from the fairway or rough into the green.
They have low centres of gravity which help give you more height on your shots when needed and maximises forgiveness. This set up of one fairway wood and one hybrid is perfect for golfers who want to start playing golf with a three-quarter set of golf clubs.
Irons and wedges
The eight piece set comes with 7 iron, 9 iron and sand wedge. Fewer clubs than the 11 piece, but these are evenly spaced out and still provide all the tools you’ll need to grow into a consistent golfer.
The forgiving irons have a large face and deep cavity back design which makes these irons easy to hit and promotes a high launch.
The rest of the set
The eight-piece Reva women’s set is completed with a modern, mallet putter and cart bag. The putter provides a well-balanced, soft feel and great alignment guides to help you master your accuracy on the greens.
The cart bag is designed to hold all the clubs in addition to golf balls, towels and other equipment. The bag has full-length dividers which are great for keeping your golf clubs separate from any other gear you may be carrying with you on the course.
The headcovers included allow you to protect your new set when they’re not being used.
Summary – Callaway 8 piece REVA review
The Callaway eight-piece Reva women’s set offers you the best gear and a reduced price, thanks to the refined number of golf clubs. This is a great option for those who just want to start golf with a three-quarter set of clubs and is perfect for beginner golfers.
The REVA eight piece complete set from Callaway provides you with all the essential tools needed not only to learn how to play but also to advance your skills as time goes on.
Should I buy the 11 or 8 piece Reva set?
As a golf coach, I would be delighted if a new player turned up with either set, as I would know you’ve got some great equipment to help you progress.
As a complete beginner, you’ll likely not see a big difference between all the clubs, until you being to consistently strike the ball near the sweet spot. However, the additional clubs will become more useful as you play more consistently and want to refine the distance you hit your shots.
If you are a complete beginner and just getting started, grab the 8 piece set. If you have played a few times and know you’re keen to get better, opt for the 11 piece Callaway Reva set.
Custom fitting your Reva set
The Reva sets are one of the first to offer custom fitting for beginner players. This is great news as you’ll be given clubs that actually match your height and swing.
What set is right for me?
Here is a quick guide with a little more detail below:
Height: 5’2″ – 5’7″
The standard lengths will work well.
Height: 5’1″ and shorter
The short length sets will be best (club-lengths: -1/2″)
Height: 5’8″ and taller
The long length Reva sets will be best (club-lengths: +1/2)
This is a pretty good guide and using this information you can’t go far wrong. In detailed custom fitting, we actually use wrist length to the floor rather than height. Meaning if you are tall with long arms you may actually be best with standard length clubs. Similarly, you can be shorter than average but still fine with standard length clubs.
If you’re really not sure, find a local PGA professional for an in-person fitting.
Alternatives to the Callaway Reva complete set
There is now a great range of alternatives to the Reva set, in terms of price and quality. The choice is yours depending on what’s important to you. Below we’ll cover some of the different options available.
Callaway Stata complete set
The Strata range were Callaway’s original mid-range clubs. These are still good quality and priced reasonably, but the newer Reva set is considered better in terms of performance. Click here to read our full review of the Callaway Strata golf clubs.
Cobra Women’s F-Max Complete Golf Set
The F-Max complete set comes in at a similar price to the Reva eight-piece set, with the Cobra F-Max you get a few more clubs, similar levels of forgiveness, but lose a fraction of performance. Nevertheless, the F-Max set is still a top choice for beginner golfers. Check out the full Cobra F-Max review here.
Wilson Women’s Profile Golf Set
Wilson is a lesser-known brand compared to Cobra and Callaway, but I can tell you they make some great clubs for beginner golfers and offer great value. The Wilson Profile clubs are half the price of the Reva.
The quality and forgiveness in the irons are quite similar, but you’ll find the Reva woods and hybrids much lighter and more powerful. The Reva putter also has a more refined design.

Summary
The Reva 11 and eight-piece clubs are top of the market in terms of price, but they provide exceptional performance and forgiveness, making them a great choice for any new golfer. If you’re looking for a cheaper option, the Callaway Strata sets are also an excellent choice and for a full run down, check out our full review of the best women’s golf clubs.

This was a great comparison, I have golfed in past years and am getting back into it and joined a womens once a week so looking for help with tee off and distance so leaning towards the Calloway reva at this time.
Thank you this was most helpful.
