FREE 01X UTILITY IRON · 60-DAY RETURNS
You have been putting this off for about a year and a half. Not because you do not want new irons. Because £1,249 is a difficult number to say out loud at the kitchen table.
Here is what £1,249 actually buys. And what it does not.
*See complete Returns Policy
Take a £1,249 set apart. Roughly £300 is the shop's margin. Rent, staff, the bay you hit six balls in. Another £410 is tour sponsorship and endorsement.
£710 gone before anybody has built a golf club.
None of it is a scandal. A pro shop has to make its money. A tour contract has to be paid for by somebody. Worth knowing the somebody is you.
We sell direct. We sponsor nobody. Not one penny of the difference was ever in the head of the club.
Hollow-body construction. Ultra-thin cast face. Chrome finish. KBS Tour Lite shafts, regular or stiff.
In the box: the set, a free 01X utility iron and a Caley towel.
The P790 is a hollow-body distance iron. So is the 01. Same category, same idea of what an iron does when you catch one properly.
The difference sits in everything bolted onto the head. A tour team. A retail chain. A launch campaign. Hundreds of pounds of things no golf ball ever touches.
★★★★★Verified buyerI've just upgraded from my old 25-year-old Titleist DCIs, and I'm genuinely delighted with the Caley irons. I'm getting around 10 extra yards with each club, and the forgiveness is miles better. Even my off-centre strikes hold their line and distance so much more reliably.
P.L., ExmouthJuly 2026
TaylorMade rate the P790 mid-high for forgiveness inside their own range, below their game improvement irons. They are being straight about it.
The 01 is built for 16 handicap and up. Bigger head, wider sole. Catch one thin out of the heel on the ninth, already two over, and the ball still finds the front of the green.
Right club or wrong club. Price does not come into it.
★★★★★Verified buyerI've recently replaced my Taylormade Qi's with Caley's, what a difference in feel, forgiveness and distance! I was a steady 17hcp, now down to 15hcp shooting low and mid 80's with this set. I've gone all in and ordered the wedges too.

Buy a P790 direct and you get thirty days, clubs returned unused. Ping give you fourteen.
We give you sixty, and you take the 7-iron to the range and hit it properly. Not a mat in a shop. A bucket of balls on a Tuesday evening, in your own time.
If the set is not for you, send it back.
*Standard specs, wrappers on the other clubs, full set returned. Custom builds excluded. See complete Returns Policy
★★★★★Verified buyerI changed my irons from Ping to Caley. The new set of 01 Caley irons were delivered very quickly and they look and feel great. I played a two day competition straight after receiving my irons and played under par both days. My handicap was cut by 1.5 so I'm well pleased.

KBS shafts. Lamkin grips. The components in a Caley set are the components in sets costing three times as much, because there is no cheaper way to build a club properly and no reason to pretend otherwise.
What changes is who takes the margin between the factory and your hands. On a £1,249 set, a retailer and a tour contract. On ours, nobody.
★★★★★Verified buyerHad the clubs a few weeks now and played a few competitions. Clubs are solid, good distance and a bit more height. Great feel around the greens. Why pay the price of the top named brands, these clubs are fantastic value for money.

Every set ships with a free 01X utility iron and a Caley towel, added to your cart on their own.
The 01X is the club we build for golfers who find a long iron hard work. So if the longest club in the set is not one you reach for, the replacement is already there.
Nobody else in the comparison gives you a club.

Look hard enough and you will find a £300 set from a brand with no name on the sole, no address on the website, and nobody to answer when a shaft goes in April.
That is not a bargain. That is a gamble with your season.
Caley is a small company in Scotland. Ryan spent ten years behind a pro shop counter watching decent golfers walk out with nothing, because the clubs they wanted cost more than the car they arrived in.
Golf started here. Four hundred years of it, played on links land by people who made their own clubs because nobody was selling them any. Somewhere in the last thirty years it turned into a £1,249 hobby.
We still do it the old way. The sets are designed by Stephen, who has been building clubs for decades. One person who knows exactly what is in every head that ships, and why.
The people who run this business play golf. Not one of us came out of a boardroom, and nobody on the payroll is paid to say they like the clubs.
£549 is not the cheapest number you will find. It is the cheapest number attached to something you can trust.
Last spring you nearly did it. Then the price came up and the old set still worked, so you played another season on grooves that stopped biting two years ago.
They still work. That has always been true, and it is the reason nothing has changed.
The question is not whether your irons work. It is how many more Saturdays you want to spend wondering whether a better set would have held that green.
Sixty days answers it properly. Hit the 7-iron, on your course, in your weather. If nothing changes, send them back.
Shipped from Scotland’s Golf Coast in 3-5 working days.
Delivery starts at £9.99 UK mainland. The free 01X is part of the current set offer and will not run forever.
Same hollow body. Built for your game. Sixty days to disagree.
A free 01X utility iron and a towel in the box. Shipped in three to five working days.
