GigaGolf TurboPower V92 Fairway Wood
This classic profile stainless steel fairway wood is designed to complement the XQ Ti driver. GigaGolf says that it has a high rebound face that helps players get maximum distance. The best part is that you can get one for as litle as $38.
Like all GigaGolf products, this one comes with a playability guarantee.
Bargain On Feinstein’s “Open”
I just saw a huge stack of copies of John Feinstein’s excellent book Open : Inside the Ropes at Bethpage Black

Global Golf Used Clubs
I recently ran across Global Golf, a company which seems to specialize in used clubs. I’d be interested to see if anyone has any experience with them.

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.
