This company brings quality golf clubs at a very reasonable price. I was able to try these guys out for a couple of months now and even did quite a bit of traveling with these clubs. Needless to say I was not disappointed. Here is the Golf Review Guy's golf review on both the Giga Golf M510 Forged Muscle & C510 Forged Cavity Back Irons.
Is there a discernable difference?
Those of you that follow me across my many social media platforms. You’ll know that I spend a fair amount of time researching any product I’m interested in purchasing. This year one of the items I was most interested in acquiring was a new set of Irons. My primary concerns were that they be fit to me. By fit I mean bent to the correct lie angle, and cut to the correct length. I wanted something that was Game improving, but without the chunky topline. Lastly I didn’t want to have to break the bank to buy them. I found a number of potential sets, but in the end the TRX Power Slot Irons from Giga Golf were the winners. But were they the right choice?
Why did they win?
What really made the difference was their custom design process. I had been casually fit before at a Golf Town. I hadn’t gone through their entire fitting process but a representative made suggestions based on my swing, and face contact. Unless you live in Florida, Giga Golf is strictly a custom online order manufacturer. Not being able to try the Irons before you purchase them is usually a non starter for me. Giga Golf understands this and offers a 30 day test period. That still wasn’t what swayed me. What their custom design process allows you to do is not only have them bent to the correct lie angle, and cut to length. You can also select which shaft, and grip combination you prefer. The only thing that potentially increases the price is the shaft and grip selection. They don’t charge you anything extra for the lie angle adjustment, and shaft length. Every other set I had researched would have required an additional cost to get them fit. The Giga Golf Irons were an absolute steal when you realize that they were anywhere from 40% to 60% cheaper than the OEM companies Irons.
Is quality determined by price?
The greatest fear when buying something that’s cheap is that it’s just that, CHEAP! I received my set of Irons in the middle of Canadian winter. So it wasn’t like I was going to get out on a course with them any time soon. Instead I took them to the simulator for initial testing. What I learned the first few times out to the simulator is this. I’m 5’10” 200lbs athletic build so it didn’t require a lot of adjustment to fit the Irons to me. They are half an inch shorter, and one degree more upright than my original off the rack set. My swing didn’t feel all that different, but the strain on my body was significantly reduced. I didn’t suddenly stripe every shot like some people hope will happen when you get fit. My face contact was significantly improved though. Was I pleased with my purchase at that time. I definitely was! After hitting 100 balls my shoulders weren’t sore. I didn’t hit so many shots out of the heel. My confidence with my Irons was greatly improved. But would I feel the same way once the snow melted, and I finally got to play them out on a course?
Finally got to play a Round of Golf
The weather finally held for a few days, and on April 23, 2018 I finally got to play with my new Irons on a course. I was pumped! For those of you that live in warmer climates. You have no idea what kind of personal torture Canadian winter can be to a dedicated Golfer. So you understand I’m going to preface this story with the knowledge that I didn’t play particularly well that day. To say that I played like shit, wouldn’t be fair to shit. For the first time out in a Season though it’s nothing new. I go through it every year. My Tee shots were so bad, that by the ninth hole I started to experiment with not using a Tee. I’m sure some of you have been there. Usually my second shot gets me out of trouble. Not that day. That whole Round of Golf would have been forgettable if it wasn’t for my approach shots from 150 yards and in. In other words, my Giga Golf TRX Power Slot Irons made what was becoming a terrible day, at least bearable. Two best clubs in the bag that day were my 6 Iron, and 9 Iron. I did chunk a 6 Iron really bad once. You know when you chunk it so bad that you feel the reverberation all the way down to your toes? Well it didn’t actually hurt too bad. I went with the True Temper Featherlight steel shafts, and that chunk shot could have been an advertisement for the quality. It had snowed the week before so I was expecting a mushy course. Full marks to Hidden Lake Golf In Burlington Ontario for having the course well ready for play. There was some snow left in a few spots but it wasn’t a factor. Still every club got dirty, and the TRX Power Slot Irons were as easy to clean as any of the rest. I was playing Srixon Q-star balls that day and judging by the Pitch marks, and scuff marks. The Giga Golf Irons were generating a lot of spin. I had seen some good spin numbers in the simulator. Until you experience the real on course results you never know. I wasn’t disappointed at all. Unlike the Super Game Improvement Irons I had before, I could really attack flag positions. Hopefully my next time out I’ll be on my game, and take full advantage of the stopping power.
Durability concerns
The only negative thing i have to report is that after about 6 times in the Simulator, 1 trip out to the Range, and 1 Round of Golf. The shiny toe on the face of my Pitching Wedge has a noticeable scuff mark. Now for some people that’s an insignificant thing. Irons get scuffed up. It’s just a matter of time. Still this was quick. At this point I can’t tell if it’s the result of the steel Giga Golf uses, or if it was just a bad Range ball that caused it. As the Season continues I’ll have more information for you. I’ve read a number of reviews about the black steel Giga Golf Irons that raised concerns about the finish. Maybe that’s all it is. A thin finish will scuff quickly. As long as the performance isn’t affected it won’t bother me.

Giga Golf Iron Comparison Chart
Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera are all popular internet browsers. The software companies that develop these programs borrow each others design improvements in a large and competitive market. The competition is so persistent that, except for the logo, these browsers look and perform pretty much the same.
The look and functionality is so close that some people might not realize what browser they are using even though the companies making the software has no intention of misleading the user about the brand of browser that he or she is using. But everybody knows it is not a coincidence that each of these browsers has tabs, favorites, a home button and privacy settings. They enthusiastically feed off each other's innovations.
The same holds true for many markets. The automotive, electronic, and toy industries all have large and small companies fighting for leadership while designing each other's product improvements into their own brands. GigaGolf is no different except we do it in the golf equipment market.
Take a minute to consider the other manufacturers of golf clubs. Ping was the inventor of the cavity backed iron, and now, every company in our industry has a cavity backed iron. Taylor Made was the inventor of the metal wood, and now, almost all woods are metal. More recently, who invented the square driver, Callaway or Nike?
GigaGolf takes a tremendous amount of pride in the equipment we design and manufacture. Our product standards are high. We integrate the styles and technologies of the current golf equipment market into our designs. We buy our steel shafts from American made True Temper, and our graphite shafts come from UST (United Sports Technology) and Grafalloy. Their names are printed on all the clubs we sell. And we DO NOT use their commercial end (lower quality) product. This is one of the ways we set GigaGolf apart from our more budget end competition.
GigaGolf vs. Clones
The song 'Cheap Sunglasses' was released in 1980 by ZZ Top. One of the lyrics is:
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses
Still today, a expensive pair of sunglasses with a polarized lens and durable frames can cost 10 times more than a drug store pair. And the relative quality of the products reflects the difference cost. The world is full of similar examples, to the point where living by the credo 'you get what you pay for' is not without merit. The 'two classes' concept simplifies a complex world, but we all know that there are exceptions to this rule.
The two class concept can be seen in the golf industry too. A big box department store has low prices on complete boxed sets of golf clubs, but the heads might be made out of zinc, the steel shafts will rust, the 'graphite' shafts are almost 100 percent fiberglass and the grips will be hard as stone within 6 months. Unfortunately, beginners often chose to go this route, saying to themselves, 'I am just getting started and don't need the best clubs.' But the inadequate equipment makes the game much harder than it really is. The irony is that some of these sets carry a brand name from companies that still have a reputation for sporting goods.
When golfers hear the term clone, some will immediately think of cheap sunglasses. This opinion comes from the fact that most 'clone' companies are interested in making sales by directly comparing their product to large brands. The focus is on what the club looks like.
Here is a line you will read on every clone site. 'We buy our components from the same component manufacturers as the big brands.' In many cases, it is true, and we say the same thing. But the reality is that these component manufacturers make both the cheap end product and the high end components. Some golfers will take the time to understand the difference and those are GigaGolf customers.
Gigagolf
GigaGolf's focus is performance, quality and service. We often choose higher quality components that increase the cost of our product. However, our customers are already saving 60 to 70 percent versus buying nationally advertised tour player endorsed brands. Our belief is that is does not make sense to cut product quality to save the last few dollars. At GigaGolf, we do not make 'cheap sunglasses'
