Hireko’s Acer XP 905 Pro Iron
Acer’s 905 XP Pro Irons are designed for low- to mid-handicappers who want reduced offset for workability and low ball spin. Cast from stainless steel, the clubs have a deep undercut cavity and a heel to toe notch. The strong perimeter weighting offers a high moment of inertia for forgivability. Meanwhile, Hireko says, the low center of gravity creates a higher launch angle and more solid feel at impact.
Starting at just $6.95 a club, the XP 905 Pros are a great bargain. And like all Hireko clubs, they come with a 60 day playability guarantee.

Hireko Golf’s Synchron SP-6 Fairway Woods
The Synchron SP-6 fairway woods feature a two rail crown that is designed to both provide improved alignment, and reinforce the crown for greater strength at impact. The reinforced crown is supposed to flex less, and thus transfer greater energy to the ball. The sculpted sole design reduces turf drag to make shots off of all course conditions that much easier.
Hireko says that these clubs are designed to offer the technology of the Cobra HS9 clubs, at a fraction of the price. Hireko also offers a 60 day guarantee, so you can try without risk.
