Golf: Gigagolf Power Max GX920 vs Callaway X20???

Question

Hi there

Want to get a new Golf Iron set for myself while having a very small budget, if the money wasnt a problemn then I would had went for Callaway x20 but I cant.

Just recently while surfing the net I stumble upon a website that had some info about CLONE IRON SETS and saw the Clone of Callaway X20 from "Gigagolf Power Max GX920".

Was only able to find very few reviews (dont know if those are real or fake) claiming that Power Max GX920 is no less then Callaway X18 and X20.

Guys I am really lost so can you please help me buy posting your reviews if you have tried or used that set or know someone who is using it.

Thanks, Marry Xmas and Happy New Year.

Answer 1

When I didnt have money for a good set, I used the demo sets and clubs in the proshop. most only want to hold on to your credit card until you're done.

I'd rather stop playing than play with clone clubs. I dont care what anyone says, equipment matters a great deal. If it wasnt the case, Top Flite would be the number 1 ball on the tour and men would never buy corvettes.

Answer 2

you would be wasting your time money and patience on the golf course with clone clubs. compines can say all they want to get you to believe their cheapo clubs perform as well as the top brands. don't be the sucker that i was and buy cloan clubs if you want callaways on a budget go to ebay i got x-tours in awesome condition for 300.00 . you should look it is worth it.

Answer 4

I think you should stick with the Callaway.

You don't neccessarily need to buy the X20 though, I bought Callaway Big Bertha '04 iron set (4 iron to gap wedge) for $400.00, and I love them!

Answer 5

Check all avenues, eBay, play it again sports, some shops sell used clubs on consignment.

Also, watch the prices at sites like rockbottomgolf.com.  They inflate "the competition prices".

Answer 6

My experience is that clones are never as good as the real thing.  They may look the same, but the best clubs are designed and engineered from the inside out and all components have their purpose.  Clones are designed more from the outside in with the primary goal to "look" like the original.  Wait and save up until you can afford the real thing, you'll be much happier in the end.  Or try to find a used set, they usually cost about half or less than a new set.

Answer 7

Clones are good as known brands ,only if you  know the materials of your clones.Using 17-4 stainless for irons would be the best choice and they are easy to clean.

Lots of my clients always asked me:"Robert, there are so many clubs on the market and I am going crazy because I spent thousands of dollars and never see a difference".Well let me give you a brief explanation on how you should choose your clubs and materials.This is very relative to your swing and speed which will help you choosing the right club.

Golf club heads can be fabricated from numerous materials. Zinc AND ALLOYS are mainly used in beginner’s sets and putters.. HST Aluminum is a much harder aluminum and is well-liked in very large drivers. 431 stainless steel is a softer stainless steel very frequently used in high superiority iron heads. 17-4 stainless steel is harder steel found in specialized quality irons and wood heads. Maraging metal is a stainless steel put through an extraordinarily particular hardening procedure that makes it much much harder and is a current material for the faceplates in the top performing woods. Titanium is the most pricey material used in making golf clubs heads and combines light weight and outstanding strength. Titanium is used today in the maximum end woods manufactured.

Do not confound Ti-Alloy with Titanium. Ti-Alloy stuff are Aluminum products with bit basics of Titanium that try to take advantage of the Titanium name. Ti-Alloy products are along with the least expensive and are meant for beginners or for junior who does not want to spend lots of money for golf equipment. Other materials include ceramics, graphite and plastics. We don't see those much anymore, but they should commence to make a return in the next few years as manufacturing technologies progress.

No matter what material you have, specially for beginners, will not correct any slices or hook .There is some offset driver that we will talk later. Of course if you hit less then 200 yards, any hard metals like beta-titanium or maraging, will not make any difference, simply because you will not be able to create a trampoline effect on the club face.However if you hit over 250 yards, that means, that you are swinging over 100 miles per hour, therefore, a good beta titanium or maraging materials will help you adding more distance, as every trampoline effect, that you create on your golf club, helps you obtaining more distance.So stop thinking that you will hit 300 yards,if you swing at 80 miles per hour,because it is all balance between your speed and your swing. The most important factor for distance is the transfer of your body on your downswing which will help you adding more yards.

Thanks and have a nice game

Answer 8

DONT BUY THE CLONES!!! I bought a clone driver and the quality is terrible. It is made out of cheap material. Best bet is to get some cheaper callaways or find a real brand like taylormade or ping.

Answer 9

These clones are poor quality and poor construction. If you want quality clubs on a budget, the go to a closeout site like http://rockbottomgolf.com and take a look. Some of their stuff is 1 or 2 year old technology, but much better than low quality clone stuff. You'll like the prices. Enjoy!

Answer 10

From what I have heard, Gigagolf does an excellent job in the clones. Not really clones but they are trying to set out with their own brand.

You do not get a 90-94% satisfaction rating on BizRate if you are providing sub par products and service. And with 10000 reviews +

I found a review for the GX920 and they are all saying good things about it
