Two years ago, TaylorMade released the Kalea Premier, a game-improving set for women designed to make golf more enjoyable. Since then, extensive research, testing and design improvements (by women players of all levels) have led to the development of the new Kalea Gold which is released today.
Created for women by women
TaylorMade used several sources when creating the Kalea Gold set.
In addition to their female employees using TaylorMade clubs, they also had advisory boards of female golfers. They also took a very in-depth and proactive approach to online feedback about Kalea Premier and included it in the new Gold group.
It is a line of golf clubs for women made for women by female gamers.
Who is Kalea Gold for?
The original Kalea Premier set was created with the idea of being a first set for women.
However, TaylorMade quickly realized that many beginning women golfers were upgrading to the Kalea Premier as their second or third set. Basically, more and more top players were finding that Kalea provided benefits to their game.
TaylorMade shared a good bit of technology with the Kalea Gold from their premium line of clubs. When technologies are broken down into these complete options, it’s usually a sign that the manufacturer is trying to attract better players: more speed, accuracy, forgiveness, and likely better feel.
Throughout the Kalea Gold set, TaylorMade focused on maximizing forgiveness, incorporating an ultra-lightweight design and incorporating a slight pull bias for high ball speed and optimized launch conditions.
Can beginners still play with Kalea Gold? Absolutely. However, intermediate handicappers will find that the technology and performance make this Kalea Gold worth considering.
What is included in the Kalea Gold Set?
As we’ve seen with previous Kalea sets, you can buy individual clubs, but to get the best deal, you’ll want to look at the 10-piece set. The 10-piece set comes with the following:
- Driver with adjustable loft sleeve
- 5-wood
- 6-rescue
- 7-PW
- Sand wedge
- Spider S putter
- Choice of prams or duffel bag in neutral and stylish colours
Additional wood floors and salvage are available for purchase of clubs individually or to add to this set.
What’s new in Kalea Gold?
We haven’t tried it Calea Gold but we will do it as soon as possible. For now, here are some of the new technologies that TaylorMade is releasing in this set.
- Carbon wood construction: The driver has a carbon face.
- Adjustable loft sleeve: Two-step loft sleeves and trajectory tuning.
- Carbon crown and speed pocket: Featured in all freeway woods and rescues.
- Thinner top line: The thinner topline and stronger loft help make the Kalea irons more appealing to a wider range of players.
- Spider S technology: Improved footbed with a multi-material design and high MOI for added stability.
Final thoughts
“We decided to call this line Kalea Gold because we wanted to set the gold standard with our second premier line for women. We are building on the momentum of Kalea Premier to create a premium product line through design, technology and performance. The most important part of this product’s DNA is that it was designed by women for women,” says Michelle Penney, Principal Engineer, Product Development.
TaylorMade Calea the set is available for pre-order. The 10-pack, which includes a bag, costs $1,899.
