Hey all,
A friend of mine has a set of Caiman X2 Pro irons. They're a blade type deal. I checked out the company's website, and the prices were damn low. They also had a pretty good suite of custom options. Anybody have anymore information on these? They seem legit, but I figured someone here might know.

Would like to know this as well..Are they something more than just X Proto rip offs?

That's what I thought at first. I hit them though, and they felt pretty solid.

They are made by Hireko and they are cast.  Some people love component parts, some people hate them.  They are a cheaper experiment, but you will have basically zero resale value if that is important.  Many people on this site speak highly of Hireko.  I personally have not hit these irons though, so I can not speak to them. Hopefully someone else will.

Exactly that but cast instead of forged. I know someone who uses them and has been quite happy. The only difference between the X Proto's and these he said was that the Caiman's felt harder.

OP: If your interested, I'd go with a single iron to start with just to confirm you like them. Better to be out the couple extra dollars for shipping the rest if you do like it, then ordering a whole set and being stuck with them if you don't like them.
