The c510 is part of a growing category of discount golf clubs, namely the premium discount club(!) Let me explain…
Clone clubs always scored through very heavy price benefits compared to the big brand names. So a typical clone iron set would be around $200. Increasingly you’ll find “top end” clones costing $300 and up. Still very cheap, but a price apart from the usual discount products.
The C510 cavity irons (available from GigaGolf) seek to have their cake and eat it: combining feel and forgiveness.
The feel comes from the five-step forged carbon steel, enhanced by scorelines milled for consistency. The forgiveness comes from the cavityback design: especially important on the longer irons if you’re not ready for the move to hybrids.
Users comment particularly on the quality and confidence-inspiring look and feel of the end results. Forged blades certainly make you feel you’ve graduated as a golfer. Those still wondering if golf is their thing might want to go for the even cheaper typical clone irons like the GX920. After all, the more expensive shaft options can push the price of a set of c510 irons over $500.
