It's a matter of personal preference, and I would certainly not throw it away. Gigagolf S2 Black Matte: Very good looking club with black matte finish, plays well but I have not adapted to it and prefer using my other sand wedge which has a wider sole and a higher bounce. As far as I can tell they are as good or better than Titleist Vokeys (I used to play old Vokey wedges and wanted to replace them with new ones, initially, before turning to Gigagolf). I wouldn't trade them in for a brand new set of Clevelands or Vokeys. ![]() Gigagolf Pursuit s310 wedges: I absolutely love these wedges, they are right up there in terms of appearance and playability with the best clubs which the OEMs sell. The club heads are the only difference, and these were only a fraction (maybe 10%) of what the OEMs charge you for their club heads if you break it down. Going into the components, obviously the grips and shafts are top notch and better than what comes standard with most clubs. My gut feeling is these clubs play a lot better than any OEM clubs I have tried, if only because each club is taylored to my needs. I also had grips and shafts which were equal or usually superior to what the OEM clubs offered as standard. For that price, I had the clubs "made to measure" which is a whole different experience to having standard OEM clubs. In the end with the customization options I opted for, I ended up paying about US$850 for a full set, which is probably as much as I would have paid for a full set of brand new OEM clubs off the shelf. I am not a great player but I am pretty picky about my equipment and I am looking to the fitter to adjust to my tastes and not try to fit his square peg into my round hole. They were willing to hear what I had to say and to adjust themselves to my thoughts, whereas the Ping guy just wanted to sell me the most expensive clubs on his shelf and rush through the fitting process. I felt their customer service was far superior to what Ping had offered and they offer a very wide range of customization options. I've also ordered from Gigagolf a shortened 5 iron club bent 4° upright to make a chipper, which they are currently doing for me.įor both Gigagolf and Diamond Tour, the experience was excellent. I also have a set of Gigagolf wedges (52 and 60 Pursuit s510 and 52 S2 Black Matte). I bought and play a set of clones, the Z-Force Z-35 clubs bought recently from Diamond Tour Golf, with Dynamic Golf Shafts and Lamkin grips (3H, 4H, 5I-PW and SW), or UST Proforce v2 shaft and Lamkin grip (Driver). I tried the Ping FG-30 clubs, loved them but couldn't afford them custom fitted. I am quite tall (6"2) with long arms and large hands, so it was important for me to get custom fitted including oversized grips, longer shafts and +1° upright lie adjustment. I'm now focused on breaking 90, which I've done about 10 times in last 20 games I've played - playing with my old clubs from 20 yrs ago doesn't affect performance much (a bit shorter, probably costs me about 2 shots per round). I picked up golf again about 18 months ago after 20 years without hitting a ball, and have consistently improved to come back to the level I played as a teenager. I play off a 20 Hcp hitting my driver around 270 yards and struggling mostly with consistency issues. Buying online doesn't allow you to try the clubs out, which is nice, but there are much better deals. They have good deals on other clubs and equipment as well, including drivers in an affordable price range. You could also just buy a 5-PW set since the long irons are tough for many people anyway.įor older name brand stuff in brand new condition, this site is a good place to start: I'd also like to recommend that you buy a partial set instead of the full set of 8 if you're a casual player my brother and I both used 3, 5, 7, and 9 irons all of last year and improved a lot. I would like to steer you towards gigagolf of the 3 brands you mentioned, but I think Hireko and Golfworks are both a bit better in terms of options. That leaves you with the options of either brand name clubs from a couple years ago, used clubs, or components/clones. I'm assuming you want somewhere in the middle. Can I ask what sort of budget you plan on spending? You can get into this year's premium irons for about 600-1000$, or get an old used set for maybe under 100$.
