Shoots in the 100s
Model Reviewed: Turbo Power V92 OS 3-PW
Summary: I bought this iron set from GigaGolf with the True Temper Feather Flight Firm flex shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips. The clubs were assembled very well, and I liked the weight of the shafts. Overall, I'd say these irons are forgiving on mis-hits, and I shot my best score yet with these irons. Distance was as expected with any other clubs I've used. However, the one MAJOR downfall of these irons was their durability. The first time I used the irons was at a nice range near my house. I used only the 3, 5, 7, and 9 irons. After that round, I was cleaning the heads and noticed that the faces and soles were quite worn. That ended up bugging me so much that I sold the irons and bought custom-fit Mizuno MX-19 irons, and I'm MUCH happier so far. In comparison, the Mizunos still look brand new after a round at the range. I've never experienced durability issues like this with any other irons I've owned.
Customer Service: GigaGolf has great service, but I gotta say I'm not impressed with the overall quality of Turbo Power's clone components.

Summary: These clubs are very nice for the price. I am 15 so I cant afford expensive golf clubs. I bought these for $120 for a set 3-SW. I picked the R20C because they have a little rubber bar on the back like the Taylor Made RAC OS irons. The point of it is to absorb the vibrations after you hit it. It really helps a lot and if you blade in in cold weather it doesnt hurt your hands. They are well worth the money.
Customer Service: I bought them from Golfclubsandmore.com, great customer service.

Shoots in the 100s
Model Reviewed: Turbo Power Callaway Hawkeye Clones
Summary: I have been playing on and off through the years, but really got back into it in the summer. I used my old clubs for the longest time to see if I would stay with the sport. When I did, I decided to get a new set of clubs. Sure I looked at the name brands, but I just couldn't put that big of a whole in my pocket while I am a college! I found the turbo power iron at a golf shop here in town and was told they could be put together for 200$. While I was there I decided to hit the Callaway Hawkeye, Big Bertha, and Stealhead. After hitting them all I liked the Hawkeye the best and decided to go ahead with the clones. I went through ebay and found many of what I wanted, but Jason Bennit golf had the best deal. The shipping was fast, the clubes were wrapped in bubble wrap, and the shafts were better than what other places wanted. I average an 86 to 90 score, but the first time I plaed with these clubs I shot an 82. They are phenominal and I would recomend them to anyone.

Shoots in the 90s
Model Reviewed: Turbo Power XP-6
Summary: I bought these clubs after playing the Callaway X16's. The Callaways were AWESOME hitting clubs. As a former three-four times a week golfer who rarely finds time to play these days, my score has gone from consistent low 80's up into the 90's. The Callaways allowed me to hit an 84 on a tough Florida course (Schweet change from 95+ on Connecticut courses). I was sticker shocked on the X16's 3-PW prices of $700+, so I checked out clones. The Turbo Power XP-6's hit exactly like the Callaways at a fraction of the cost. The clubs hit the ball DEAD STRAIGHT all the time. I'd think twice about them if you like to work the ball. They are heavy so they slice through the dense rough nicely (I'm familiar with dense rough these days!). Outstanding club for the infrequent golfer- consistent, straight and 10 yards longer than my original Pings. ($211 included 2-SW + 3 Ball putter at Diamond Tour Golf - GREAT people to deal with!)
Customer Service: Outstanding quick delivery and a myriad of options for a complete custom experience. SUPER Quality!

Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: PFD Irons
Summary: Was getting tired of looking at my Killer Strikers (King Cobra) irons for the last 8 years - so time for a new set of irons. Purchased the PFD irons on-line for a reasonable price. Ordered stiff shafts with standard tour wrap grips. The first few times on the course and at the range were very disappointing. Hit maybe one good shot every 4-5 hits with each iron. Shanked quite a few also. Was doing things that never did with old irons. Went to local golf shop and had new mid-size grips put on and checked the lie of the irons. It checked out that the lie should be increased by +2 degrees. I decided to play a round with the new grips and not change the lie at this time. Suprise Suprise! Shot three over par on the front and a total respectable score of 85 on a very challenging narrow and long course. The grips felt excellent. The ball flight was indeed higher than my older irons with approximately the same distance. I did change my stance to a slightly less upright one also. So today I am extremely happy with them... and tomorrow, who knows. The point is they are equal to or better than my previous irons if I do my job of hitting them correctly. I personally don't think that they are a totally forgiving club.. so this is a good club if you like the appearance and the swingweight. I do think that the low center of gravity is very helpful. I think that with any new clubs you should expect some experimenting with grip, stance, swing plane, etc.
