Comments: The Cougar Power Cat was my very first golf set I purchased back in early summer 2006 when Mr. Monster and his gang of friends decided to try out golf since we were getting a bit too old, un-flexible, and large for our previous battles of tennis. Since I did not know if I would stick to golf since the previous times we played golf was at the driving range during high school and one company sponsored golf excursion I did not do too well. So instead of getting a name brand set I decided to try out a started set with everything and just in case I dropped out I hoped not to lose too much money in investing in clubs. Starting in golf one friend borrowed some clubs from friends while picking up his set piece by piece, one started out buying a name brand set right off the bat (Adams Golf) and I spotted in the local newspaper a full set of clubs for $115 at the Big 5 Sporting Goods store, the Power Cat set by Cougar Golf.
The Cougar Power Cat set had everything in one piece, golf stand bag, 3/4 hybrid, 3 woods, 5-pw irons and blade putter. While Cougar is not a name brand manufacturer, I do have to recommend it as a good started set for those looking for a complete brand new package for under $120. The irons for me worked well and weighted properly, The woods were difficult and unwieldy and the driver especially caused me and my swing severe slices. The blade putter was not to my style and was replaced by a Nike OZ mallet clone. While there are people who may scoff at the Cougar brand, the Cougar Power Cat set I had outlasted the Adams club (the 5 wood broke off after 2 games) and showed no noticeable external wear after 6 months of use. While I ended up moving to new hybrid and driver clones as well as a new set later on, as a value price set beginners should not hesitate to try out this Cougar brand.
One other playing partner did get the higher end X-Cat set, better stand bag but the graphite shaft paint chipped after less than a years use and the 5 iron head broke off. If you can find a set for $100 go ahead and get this, the only other value set that I see other beginners use are the RAM sets from Target around $150-$175 and the Jack Nicklaus set from Costco for around $200.
Score: 3 out of 5
