I had struggled for years to be consistent, and as the info commercial stated, they are incredibly easy to hit. My first round, I broke 100 for the first time ever. The next time, I did it again. As the summer progressed, I even broke 90! They are not the best feeling irons I have hit, but they sure are the longest. One of my playing buddies had just dropped $1500 for his Taylor Mades when I bought mine. He's still trying to get used to hitting them after nearly a year. I'm not convinced that I will play with these for the rest of my days, but for now, I love them! Customer Service Excellent, After a few rounds, the finish on one of my wedges was coming off. I called Giant Golf and within 3 days I had a new club, free of charge. Similar Products Used: Wilson Fatshafts, King Cobras, Kunnan |

Update to previous review. After getting in "tune" better for the season, I've found that these clubs don't fit the bill. Too many pull's and thin shots, and they do feel like a rock even with the Winn grips. Probably better clubs for my once a week winter round than a tuned up summer. Still, the longest irons I'ver ever hit and most good shots are tight draws. Customer Service Incredibly great customer service. Similar Products Used: Ping Eye 3, Calloway X-14 |

Originally hit at a demo day the original Gentle Giants and liked the feel and trajectory I was getting on the ball (even a slight draw on mid-irons) but never purchsed them since I had just bought a set of Cobra's. Customer Service Good customer service. No complaints Similar Products Used: Ping Eye 3's, Calloway X-12's, Peerless |

Best hitting irons I have ever used. Improved my consistency and isn't that what we all look for in our irons? Golfclubreview.com lists these irons as a personal favorite of their professionals who test and review clubs. I wasn't really looking for new clubs when I decided to try these, but I thought what the heck. I'll take them over the Calloway any day! Customer Service They called me back twice to see how well I liked the clubs. This was unacceptable. Similar Products Used: Pi3's, Calloway x-14, Armour 845 |

Best Irons I've owned. I have eliminated my slice and actually draw the ball when I want. Winn grips are great. Very comparable to Callaway X-14's that I've tried with about half the cost. Similar Products Used: Cobras, X-14's |

I agree with the hit like rocks, no feel.They are a bit longer in the short irons, but a bit inconsistent. The graphite shafts are to light for my preference. Am getting ready to find out if the 90 day return policy is true. Similar Products Used: None |

Agree with prior review that these play like rocks. After a few rounds the finish started to come off. These clubs do not play like nor look like (after a few rounds) top quality branded clubs. Similar Products Used: titliest dci, pings, tommy armour |

I'd say these irons are an excellent purchase for the mid to high handicap player. These irons seems to automatically produce a slight draw, which most players need. They are long-hitting irons which make the 6-AW favorable for most amateurs. The longer irons seem to hit the ball on a lower trajectory than I would like. The strong suit of these clubs lies in two areas for me. There is something un-specific about the leading edge of the irons that promotes excellent quality iron shots from the fairways and rough. These irons always seem to dig in to the turf at just the right angle, promoting very good spin and trajectory. The other strong suit of these clubs is the ease of chip shots and short pithes. Chipping was never easier than using these clubs. As noted in another review, these clubs don't have an incredible amount of feel which can be a detriment to lower-handicap players. The Winn grips help a little, but not much. My ping eye 3 irons are more solid, but also much shorter hitting irons. The EVO's have much more feel, the the X-14s hit the ball much higher in the low and mid irons. Overall, I'd say these irons are excellent for double-digit handicaps; average for lower-handicap players that need more feel and work-a-bility rather than forgiveness. Customer Service excellent and friendly customer service. Similar Products Used: Ping Eye 3, Tommy Armour EVO, Calloway X-14 |

These irons are like hitting a rock. There is no feel and the club head is bulky. The graphite shaft gives very little control on mid irons. Resale value on these clubs are near nothing. Just another golf gimmick - I would highly recommend not purchasing!!!! Customer Service None Similar Products Used: Taylor Made Supersteel and LCG and Titleist 981 (all excellent products) |

Great clubs. Best I've ever swung. I hope to start breaking 90 on a regular basis soon. The price is unbeatable...3-pw, sw, aw, and threw in the lob wedge for $499 Similar Products Used: None |
