i've posted specifically about dynacraft before and got no responses, but hoping people have uses other hireko golf brands and would like to share their experiences. I've been a fan of some of gigagolf's products from my brief experience with them...does hireko live up to the same quality?

on a side note, I saw in the latest Golf Digest Hot List, Hireko's Acer XK Irons are listed under best value new clubs...does this bring legitimacy to companies like Hireko and Gigagolf? http://www.golfdigest.com/equipment/...ist_bestvalues

I bought an Acer XP 3w head from Hireko and it really impressed me. Very nice quality and the thing is a cannon. I stopped thinking about Hireko as a clone company when I read The Modern Guide to Shaft Fitting which was published by Dynacraft before Hireko acquired them, and is free for download at Hireko's website, including updates. It proved to me that they were very smart and serious about golf club technology.

I have a nearly complete set of clubs from Hireko, the Acer XP905. There service was good (fast service, responded to questions, etc); clubs have good quality; price is nice. I like the idea of being able to pick which clubs you get. I would have gotten wedges with them if they had milled face one.

Hireko was very good about a problem with the order. Fedex misplaced the clubs and said they were delivered. The missing clubs showed up about 8 hours after I placed a re-order. Hireko cancelled the re-order at no cost when I found the missing clubs on my front porch.

I have no complaints. I heard that Hireko has been around for a while.

A couple friends have purchased clubs through gigagolf and pinemeadows. Again good service and price. They have no complaints or issues.

I've been playing Acer XP905 Pro irons for about a year now. They are great irons, similar to Callaway X-20 Tour irons. Hireko has great service and their products are all pretty solid. Some of them, like the XP and XK series are top notch and finally being recognized as such.

I have a friend who buys from Hireko and he has never had problems. I have a lot of my clubs from Pinemeadow and I think they are outstanding. As I improve, I hope my opinion doesn't change. I can't justify paying $400 for a driver or close to $1000 for a set of irons... I'm not putting down anybody who does (I have hit with those clubs and they are nice) but... I think my $100 driver and $200 are just fine for my amateur status

I have never purchased from Hireko, but years ago I bought a set of X-14 clones from GigaGolf.  They were ACER and performed well.  But the manufacture had gouged a couple of the shaft when preparing them for the epoxy to attach the club heads and they both broke right at the intersection with the club head after a few month use.  But I replaced the shafts and used these clubs for a few years and they preformed as well as the "real things" as best I could tell.
