- The Golfing Trucker reviews the Pursuit m510 forged iron golf club. Looking for a great golf club at an affordable price, check out this offering from Gigago.
- Posted by 8 handicap (9 years ago). Just what i needed. I ordered the trx v.11s and i love them. Im 6'3' and could not use off the shelf clubs i would constantly too the ball and golf just wasn't fun anymore then i ordered these using their efit process wich added.75 longer and 3 degree lie change WOW what a difference i love golf again oh and with 5-pw custom made for me and my size cost me.
Want a custom set of players irons but for half the price? Check out Pursuit M510 muscle back irons, C510 cavity backed irons and the S510 Wedges from GigaGo. I went to the range today and was very disappointed that they didn't have Titelist MB for demo. However, I fell in love with the S9's, so if they were the clubs that I hit best then I probably wouldn't be able to handle a Blade style iron.
First Impressions of Giga Golf Clubs
Like pretty much every other Golf enthusiast on a budget I’ve looked into the possibility of playing clone, or custom small manufacturers clubs. After extensive research of a number of brands I decided to give Giga Golf Irons a chance. Some key factors that went into my decision were their direct from manufacturer approach, custom club assembly, and ease of contact. I was actually able to speak with the President of the company Robert Wilson before making a purchase. They also offer an online Efit system for getting your clubs fit for your body size. Although it isn’t a foolproof method, it should work for most. I already knew my proper sizing, and the Efit method confirmed it so it would have worked for me. As a lefty my choices were limited, but fortunately they did have a game Improvement Iron that seemed suitable. Their manufacturing facility is located in Florida. Even though I was having the clubs custom built, and I placed the order on the 19th of December. The clubs arrived at my door in Toronto, Ontario nine days later. Needless to say I was very impressed with the speed my order was fulfilled.
Love at First Sight
Upon opening the box that contained my new Irons I was pleasantly surprised. To be fair I wasn’t expecting to be impressed with the looks of the TRX Power Slot Irons. A set including five Iron through Pitching Wedge without any shaft or grip upgrades comes out to only $225 Canadian including delivery. Compare that to the Taylormade, and Srixon Irons sets I was looking at that were $500+. Expecting them to be aesthetically pleasing, and function well seemed like too much to hope for. Even the pictures on the Giga Golf website appeared a bit cheesy looking. Seeing them up close for the first time. The subtle style touches, thin topline, and mixture of reflective and matt surfaces look great. If these Irons perform half as well as advertised I’ll be more than satisfied. The suggested shafts by True Temper look great, and even their basic grip by Sensatec in midsize feels good. Giga Golf does offer a number of grip upgrades by Golf Pride, Lamkin, and Winn but my preferred grip wasn’t one of them so I decided to go with their basic grip at no additional charge. If it doesn’t perform well I can just regrip the clubs later. Giga Golf allows you to order clubs individually so I only ordered the 6 Iron, 7 Iron, 8 Iron, 9 Iron, and Pitching Wedge. As a High handicapper I believe that the best combination of clubs in the bag include Hybrid Clubs. My current set includes a 3 Hybrid, 4 Hybrid, and 5 Hybrid so I didn’t require the 5 Iron. Removing the one club saved me around $25.
An Ongoing Review of Giga Golf Irons
You would expect that with all of the information available on the internet you could find a review of Giga Golf Irons that included Carry and total Distance numbers, Spin rpms, and Launch angles. Well you can’t. Sure there are unboxing videos, and product information reviews but those don’t really tell you how good their clubs may actually be. Not only will I be testing these Irons on the course, but I’ll also get you all of the numbers in a Simulator. What you have probably been craving for most is direct comparisons of Giga Golf Clubs against the top manufacturers. Well I’ll have that too! So be sure to Subscribe to my Blog, and YouTube Channel to finally learn how much of a difference the Top manufacturers equipment gains you.

I’ve had the Giga Golf TRX Power Slot Irons with a standard length True Temper Feather Flight Firm shaft for just over a month now. As a resident of Toronto Ontario Canada, weather has prevented me from hitting them outdoors so all of my testing has been in simulators thus far. Although this is still a limited sample size in a very controlled environment. I’ve been able to make a few interesting conclusions.
Distance
I have tested many Super Game Improvement, and Game Improvement Irons over the last few years. This has provided me with a very good understanding of how far i can effectively hit a 7 Iron. Worst case scenario is around 138 yards, and my personal best average is 151 yards. The Giga Golf TRX Irons preformed admirably. My average distance with the TRX 7 Iron is 145 yards. Only 6 yards less than my personal best which was achieved with the Srixon Z355 7 Iron. It’s important to note that the Srixon 355 Irons set averaged out to $125/Iron, and the Giga Golf TRX Irons were only $50/Iron. Both Irons are 37 inches long, but the TRX 7 Iron has a one degree stronger loft at 30 degrees. Although peak heights during testing were the same. 6 yards might seem like a lot to some people, but provided your gapping is good the shorter total distance has very little affect on your game. Overall my distance with the Giga Golf TRX Irons is better than the majority of clubs I’ve tested.
Dispersion
In the grand scheme of things, dispersion is far more significant to me when evaluating Irons. My set includes 6 Iron down which for me act as my scoring clubs. I’m not the longest hitter so I leave myself a lot of 6 or 7 Iron approach shots into Greens. The tighter my shot dispersion is, the closer i am to the Pin on average. The Giga Golf TRX Irons have really shined in this area. My previous set of Irons were Super Game Improvement Irons from Adams. Although they were very easy to hit. Controlling the shot dispersion with those Irons wasn’t easy. With the Adams Idea Tech V4 7 Iron I had about an 18 yard dispersion. With the Giga Golf TRX 7 Iron I have an average total dispersion of only 9 yards. Reducing my average total dispersion by 50% can be the difference between a Green in Regulation, or landing in a Greenside bunker. To be honest I haven’t kept detailed records of the shot dispersions of all of the 7 Irons I’ve tested. I can tell you that the Giga Golf TRX 7 Iron shot dispersion is 3 yards better than what I achieved with the Srixon Z355 7 Iron though. Whether it’s as a result of the increased distance with the Srixon 7 Iron, or better face impact with the Giga Golf TRX 7 Iron I can’t be sure. For the time being I’m more than impressed with the Giga Golf TRX 7 Iron performance.
Forgiveness
As i mentioned earlier my previous set of Irons were the Adams Idea Tech V4 Super Game Improvement Irons. As such they were incredibly forgiving. Shots made from all over the club face travelled relatively far. My average total distance with the Adams Idea Tech V4 7 Iron was 140 yards. Impacts out of the toe were only about 4 yards shorter. Impacts out of the heel were only a touch worse averaging 6 yards shorter.
The Giga Golf TRX 7 Iron isn’t as forgiving. Shots out of the toe and heel are around 10 yards shorter. Practically a full club shorter for most golfers. Again this might sound terrible considering how many companies tout increased forgiveness as a feature. What you need to understand is that with increased forgiveness comes a decrease in feel. For the first time I’m able to notice when I’ve made poor contact. This has led to me developing a more consistent strike as a result. Although my suspicions haven’t been totally confirmed. I’m beginning to believe that Super Game Improvement Irons help you score better but don’t actually improve your game. Whereas Game Improvement Irons do exactly what their designation suggests. They actually do help to improve your game. I wouldn’t be surprised if after a full season playing with the Giga Golf TRX Irons that my center face strike consistency is significantly better.
Spin
Generally speaking Super Game Improvement Irons and Game Improvement Irons don’t spin at a high rate. Most manufacturers intentionally reduce the Spin in order to increase total distance. The only Game Improvement Irons I’ve tested that have affectively kept a high spin rate while offering increased distance are the Wilson C200s.
I was expecting the Giga Golf TRX 7 Iron to have a low spin rate due to it’s relatively strong loft of 30 degrees. If you have read my previous post on selecting the right Game Improvement Irons you’ll know that anything over 4500 rpm is considered high for me. I averaged 5200 rpm with the Giga Golf TRX 7 Iron. That’s an impressive result for me. My only explanation for the high spin results is the combination of lie, offset, and swing weight. I have a shallow swing path naturally but the TRX Power Slot Irons have a slightly more upright lie angle which has steepened my angle of attack to the ball. The increased Spin has limited the amount of roll out which is why my total distance is reduced. I’m sure it contributes to the smaller dispersion as well.
So far so good
It’s far too early to report on product durability so I’ll leave that for another time. Turf interaction will have to wait for warmer weather so that will come later as well. For what it’s worth though, if you play a lot of golf in a Simulator I would have a difficult time suggesting anything other than the Giga Golf TRX Power Slot Irons for the money. They perform as well as anything I’ve tested for a fraction of the price.
