Summary:
I just ordered a complete set, consisting of Nike SQ 5900, 9.5 stiff, with matching 3 & 7 wood, X 20 tour irons 3-pw s flex, Taylor made rac Z wedge 56 deg. and an odyssey Sabre tooth putter.

I use to play the wilson PI5 and before that the wilson Deep Red. I decided to switch to Callaway because I hit the pi7 but didnt take to them. All I can say is that I am very glad I switched to these clubs. Every club in the bag feels amazing and for a tour club they are remarkably forgiving. I ordered the set from Roger Dunn online and I would advise anyone not to order from them. It took 3 weeks for the clubs to get to my when i paid for over night shipping. I had better experiences with TGW.com

In the end this is a perfect set from tee to green.

Callaway X-20 Tour PX 5.5 Flighted

Summary:
Bought the Callaway X-20 Tours after an exaustive search for a replacement for my beloved 1984 Ping Eye-2s. I wanted something with much less offset (primarily to be able to work the ball right), a conventional look, cambered sole but still offering some forgivness compared to forged blades.

Clubs I demo'ed included Taylor Made R7 and the new R7 Burners, Mizuno MX 60, 57 and 67, Titleist AP2 (really liked these too), Adams Idea Pro Gold (forged), Ping -10, and Callaway X-Forged.

Ultimately the X-20 Tours won our because they offered the ball flight I wanted with increased distance while still being forgiving clubs. Despite the rolled front edge I can hit these from hardpan lies with no problem. I am able to work the ball both ways with little effort. The flighted Project X 5.5s truly provide a lower, more penetrating ball flight in the short irons while helping me hit the 5 and 4 iron a bit higher.

I strongly urge you to get fit on a launch monitor or with a good pro/clubfitter. I am more of a smooth swinger with a 6-iron speed of 80-82 an driver speed around 95 mph. I first tried the 6.0 shafts and they felt like a piece of rebar - low and right every shot. The 5.5s were perfect as I can get the face closed and feel a bit of "pop" at impact.

The Project X shafts are a mid flex shaft with a soft tip. They are lighter than TT Dynamic Gold but feel and play stiffer than other rifle shafts. I read that a TT Dynamic Gold S300 flexs out to about 5.7-5.8 on the Project X scale, so the PX 6.0s are like a stiff+, the 5.5s a stiff light and the 5.0s more like a stiff R300.

Summary:
When I reached a status of a "bogey" golfer, I was looking for a replacement for my oversize, large offset and high trajectory irons.
Couldn't be more happy than with X20 Tour. Stable distance, easy to get airborne, nice looks and above all I do not have a feeling that I lost much forgiveness due to less offset and a smaller head.
Only little negative I see that the short irons are a bit dull in response and feel around greens even for me, especially compared with my wedges. But I happy trade this for straight shots of the same distance + I bought an extra nice blade 50deg wedge for chips and feel shots. Mid and long irons are just perfect.
I reckon that these clubs are mostly for 10-20 handiccapers, as if I ever happen to be a single digit, I would want more feel in short irons and not so thick top line. Single digits should consider these, only if their iron game is a bit rusty or need just some reliable, easy to hit irons.
Shafts, I have the softest version - 5.0, as my swing is long, easy and relaxed. My 7i carries 150yards, so I recommend considering stiffer shafts only if you carry 7i well over 150 yards.

Overall, I am very happy, and will have them in my bag until my game allows me to go for more players' irons, which might take years...
