Some of those brands are Hireko, ain't they? I gave serious thought to them... I'm still giving serious thought. I am left-handed, and I was impressed with their left-hand selection. They have a couple models of hybrids I was looking at. I just couldn't really find any info on them, other then what's on their website. Reading this, I'm thinking about them even more.
As I think I wrote in my original post (not sure if I did, I'll have to reread it), brand name doesn't concern me in regards to playability. I know a Dynacraft or a Giga Golf will usually work just fine for a guy with my skills... or lack there of. I guess I'm just a little concern about durability. What's the lifespan on these type of clubs?
I'm also slightly concern about not being able to sell those types of clubs when I decide to upgrade after a few years, but the more and more I think about it, the less I'm concern.
As I wrote above, I have a Giga Golf 9 iron I bought, well, mostly to just do it. I like it! I can see myself going back to them... not exclusively, but they'll have my business in the future.
Pinemeadow is another place I'm looking at. It's nice to read someone else bring them up.
Outside of Acer and Dynacraft (Hireko?), who are the manufactures for the other brands mentioned? I remember some of them from my interweb research I've done. As I wrote above, I live in the middle of nowhere. We have a golf course (9 holes, artificial greens), but no pro shops or anything. Online is pretty much my best option.
Thanks, much appreciated...
