I bought these to cut and turn them into a set for my kid, she turns 4 this summer. Any way. I picked them up off of Craigslist for really cheap, I didn't care what they were cause my daughter is going to murder them either way. Having said all of this, I am very curious what these are. I figured our that the Woods are really Synchron II Fairway Woods, whoever made the irons slapped on their logo to the wood. The Irons are completely bewildering though. They have no marking except the numbers marking the irons and of course the same logo as the woods. The shafts and grips on the clubs are all the same. The shafts are black and say "Excalibur by Golf U.K.". The grips are classic wraps by Winn's Gold. Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks

I hope she is left handed...

Here in the US, "knock offs" - that were clearly very cheap versions of major brand clubs - used to be prevalant.  My brother owned a set of "Big Brothers" that were a copy of Callaway Big Berthas, and those Big Bens look very similar to them.

Probably a pretty good place to start for a kid. :beer:

I had fairway woods that were identical to those, but mine were badged as "Tour Model" brand (still had the "Synchron II" markings and exact same loft designations though). They were knockoff clubs, looked like they were pretty much modeled after the Adams Tight Lies FWs. I also had a "Tour Model" iron set, but they didn't look like the OP's photo - they were total Ping knockoffs.

OP, those irons look like they're copies of original Callaway Big Bertha's. I say original because Callaway has reused the name Big Bertha in clubs this season and I believe last season.  I can't tell you what they're worth but their value is probably pretty low.

There's nothing wrong with standing on the other side (correct side) of the ball. Being left-handed is uncommon. Being a left-handed girl is quite uncommon.

Hope she enjoys the clubs

On a somewhat related note, cutting down a set of full sized men's clubs for a 4 year old is going to leave her with heavy, completely unwieldy clubs. I understand the cost factor, but would encourage you to look for a set of purpose designed kids clubs in her size. They're generally easy to find used since the kids grow out of them so fast too.....

+1 Try ebay for a decent cheap kids set. I paid 15 clams for a brand new Barbies set, shipped.

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
