Description Callaway Golf has weight distribution technology. The Tunite cradle allows 77% of the mass to be positioned around the extreme perimeter of the iron for ultra-high MOI and a low, deep CG; the TPU SenS...
Summary: I got the Fusion irons because of previous good luck with Callaway irons, X14's. They are nice sticks, but I am not sure that they are as nice as the x series irons. They scratch really easy for a $1k set of irons and they are shorter than other irons that I own.
Customer Service: Callaway has great customer service and stands behind their products.

Nice irons! Very forgiving, nice pop off the faces, shafts are fine. A bit too much offset, but that is OK for a super game improvement iron.
I would probably stick with my X-14 Pro Series, or the X-18 Pros, but for what this iron is trying to do for the guy looking for max forgiveness and improvement, great stuff.
The original pricing was too much for what it is, as other max improvement irons were a better deal (like the MacGregor NVG2 or the Taylor RAC Ht's), but now that they are getting reasonable, they are well worth a look.
Callaway always seems to have that extra pop off the face... the Ti faces on these are VERY durable too.
Customer Service: The best, along with Ping.
Similar Products Used: Everything. I was disappointed in the latest Mizuno offerings in game improvement... have a set of the Rapture V2's on the way. Try MANY sets before buying, the subtle differences mean a ton in fitting YOUR game and feel... Skoal!

Summary: I just started playing golf again at the end of last season after a long lay off of several years. Since starting again i've tried many sets of irons, usually going for super game improvement sets but they just never felt right and very inconsistent for me. I read about the fusions a few months ago but i couldn't find a set for a reasonable price. The last set i was playing before these were 2006 big berthas with graphite shafts. Again i think these had too much offset and the graphite shafts were hard to control so i decided to go back to steel shafts which is what i learned to play with originally. I was going to buy a set of the fusions on ebay but i lucked out and found a set (after calling around) at a local golf galaxy. They put them on hold for me and i bought them after getting to try them. Btw, their price was on par with ebay, very competively priced.
These irons are great. the heads are smaller, less offset, but i can hit them longer and straighter than any other game improvement irons. They look great and really are easy to hit, even the long irons. I dropped my 3H from my bag because the 3 iron in this set rocks. For me another club that stands out is the pw. I only use it in the fairway as i use my forged wedges around the greens but it is deadly accurate and i can put some real spin on it. I can usually check it to within a foot of where the ball lands. I wish i had bought these irons sooner. These are just the perfect fit for me, i think they can really help me unlock my potential as my scores continue to drop. I paid 300.00 for my set and i think thats a steal.
Customer Service: never used always hear good things

Summary: As sub five handicap for over 30 years I have always been a blades man but recently got persuaded to try the the new generation of cavity irons. I have tested the Taylormade & Titleist offerings but chose the Callaway FT Fusions intially for their blade look without too much offset.
Fitted with my usual Flighted Rifle shafts I was not disappointed. These are excellent clubs, very easy to hit and forgiving. When calibrating my yardages on the range they are 5 - 8 yards longer than my Titleist 695MB dependant on club but more importantly closer grouped in distance and spread. Every shot has a very solid feel.
Their only downside (besides the price!) is they don't seem to spin the ball laterally or generate so much backspin. Difficult to shape shots but stopping power is not a huge issue due to the higher flight.
Overall great clubs but I think Callaway have a difficult job justifying the premium price. If you want the best unfortunately you have to pay for it!!
Customer Service: Ordered custom fit from factory and received to my exact specifications

Shoots in the 100s
Model Reviewed: Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Irons (4-PW)
Summary: I have only been golfing for five years. I decided long ago that Callaway's were going to be my clubs. I most recently was shooting with Hawkeye Irons. Those were traded in for the Big Bertha Fusion Irons. Although the clubheads were smaller, I've found them to progress with my game wonderfully.
I will reiterate that a pure shot with them is like "butter!" I'll be using these irons for a few more years...at least. Even my mis-hits show much forgiveness. These irons have become familiar and a step forward in my progression towards lower scores.
I have learned so much while using these irons! My confidance has grown through much practice and solid ball-striking.
I've got a Lincoln LS that runs smooth no matter what. These clubs are in the same class!
Maybe someday I will upgrade...but, for now, I am completely satisfied with my progress with these irons. If I could only learn how to hit my 3H as smooth as these irons.
Customer Service: Callaway Customer Service is second to none. This is the company that I will rely on to improve my game over the years. I have participated in the "Trade-In" program, and they took care of me. I will be a Callaway golfer for the next 40 years!
