Manufacturer's Description Details: The most advanced iron design GigaGolf has sold to date. A 6-4 Titanium face insert has several design advantages for cavity backed irons. First, it allows most of the clubhead mass to be concentrated around the perimeter of the iron head creating a larger sweet spot for more forgiveness. Second, Ti faces can be made thinner than stainless which maximizes COR or ball velocity.
A 20 gram tungsten insert was added to the toe to balance the iron head and lower the center of gravity. This creates higher, straighter golf shots.

Our Review:

These irons are made by welding a titanium face plate onto a steel frame. This brings the advantage that most of the clubheads weight is shifted to the perimeter, thereby increasing the sweet spot to almost the whole of the club face. In addition the titanium face, due to the way it's been made, packs a real punch - even with off-center hits.
 

The wide sole of these irons is very beneficial when you tend to hit out of the rough more often: with their sheer size they sort of 'muscles' their way thru the higher grass. Despite the size they swing well, aided by a small tungsten insert at the toe of the club head that stabilizes the club during the swing.
 

Taken together these are excellent game improvement clubs for beginners and average players. Advanced players may miss the feel that smaller blade irons will provide.
 

Likes: Great playability; very forgiving yet good distance.

Dislikes: Not available in LH.
